This club does not meet the notability criteria. Mootros (talk) 02:11, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - The notable members of the Pen & Pencil Club, as mentioned in the article, and its long and distinguished history in Philadelphia are enough to make it notable. The article certainly could be developed more, but that's nothing that the appropriate tags can't warn about and encourage. I think it's telling that the nominator, User:Mootros, has some kind of beef about gentlemen's clubs; in the past week he's attempted to remove massive amounts of content from List of traditional gentlemen's clubs in the United States, List of London gentlemen's clubs, and List of India's gentlemen's clubs, as well as proposing a large number of club-related articles for deletion. This one, without question, should be kept.Clubwiki (talk) 15:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
