List of pubs in Balmain


Please could someone explain the important of this list to me. In my opinion, it is not notable (and nor are the vast majority of articles it links to) Computerjoe 's talk 21:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the one-sentence stubs are a bigger issue than this article. Keep this one, merge the tiny stubs in, and rename it Pubs in Balmain or something of the sort.  JYolkowski // talk 22:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Eh, I don't think that this list is that useful, but I can't really see anything in policy as to why we should get rid of it. Unenthusiastic Keep.  Lankiveil 00:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC).
 * Keep - Balmain's pubs are of significant historic interest. Most date back to Balmain's industrial era in the 19th Century.  I'll admit lots of work is needed on the articles though. Chovain 00:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Given that at least one book has been written on this topic, the best option would be a Pubs in Balmain article. Certainly, this is a list of substubs. Alternatively, it might be better to have a section referring to Balmain's historic pubs as we already have a picture of one. Capitalistroadster 02:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep -- and merge the linked articles into one main article on the book, or a referenced list. - Longhair\talk 02:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep this article and Merge stubs as per Longhair. JROBBO 07:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to "Pubs in Balmain", write an encyclopaedic text about their cultural importance, and merge the individual articles into it.  --Nehwyn 09:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Merge all those stubs, then write something interesting about the subject. --Michael Johnson 12:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
