Not my field, but the information here does not show notability. (I agree the venue is notable). FWIW, this article was written by an obvious COI editor.  DGG ( talk ) 22:12, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

 * delete or redirect to Gerde's Folk City. No independent notability found.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * redirect/merge I agree, all notability is with that of Gerdes Folk City. Add the little data to that instead of its own piece. Ozzyland (talk) 16:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: There needs to be more/different content, because there is now beginning to be history written about Greenwich Village and the vanished folk scene. Chronicles vol. I does mention Porco, but, more tellingly, we're beginning to see historical reassessments of the businesses and "straights" who kept the scene going. I am not going to volunteer for the job, but the job can be done, and more information will be forthcoming as soon as people read the serious books being published now.

 * Delete or redirect to Gerdes Folk City. Not at all notable, fails WP:GNG- the only thing he's done is run a notable place, and notability is not inherited. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gerde's Folk City. Almost zero notability.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 11:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge any extra data and cites to the Gerde's article. He's clearly not notable. A bit of background on the owner, and more citations, would not violate WP:UNDUE. Bearian (talk) 15:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
