Rincon (surfspot)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No references or sources. Probably non-notable. Stonemason89 (talk) 19:19, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - World renowned surfspot. It's not me saying that, but the Los Angeles Times..  The book "100 Best Surf Spots in the World" rates Rincon #24.  Besides the aforementioned significant LAT coverage, it has more coverage from various sources, like the book Surfing the World   and Surfer Magazine. .  Before assuming an article topic is "Probably non-notable" because an editor doesn't see references or sources, the nom should always follow WP:BEFORE and look for sources instead of nominating an article for AfD. --Oakshade (talk) 20:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The probably in the initial nomination shows ignorance. I'm not a surfer, but I know about the place.  Maybe it needs a revision to its name to "Rincon Point"  It took me 30 seconds to come up with other independent mentions of the spot.   .  I keep having to repeat the same admonition:  If you don't know the subject, butt out.Trackinfo (talk) 23:33, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes WP:N. Joe Chill (talk) 00:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - appears notable enough given the coverage in some sources, including a book of best surf spots. Maybe a case of WP:BEFORE?   Cocytus   [»talk«]  03:40, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
