The result was delete. The only "keep" argument is "it's old", but we need sources for an article, not time.  Sandstein  08:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Certainly not notable as a course. Its main claim to notability is its age - it was founded in February 1893. https://www.fairwaysandfundays.com/irelands-oldest-golf-courses/ mentions the 10 oldest in Ireland. 10th on their list is Ballybunion Golf Club from 1893 but I suspect Ormeau may be a few months older. So, on the basis that it may be in the top 10 oldest courses in Ireland, I'd be inclined to keep it. Nigej (talk) 10:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: there is no significant coverage and the article relies on its own website for it's notability reasoning. The Belfast City Council source is dead, so there is nothing, unless you can find something else. Please remember that wikipedia has no deadlines, so how long an article has been around is not a reason to keep it. ww2censor (talk) 11:30, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. The only source I could find was "An Author At Golf.", The Youth's Companion (1827-1929), Feb 23, 1899, Vol.73(8), p.91 which is basically a human interest story thanking a member of the golf club for a great time on the golf course by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame. Not exactly RS but interesting.4meter4 (talk) 18:02, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
