Saskatoon Club

Appears to fail WP:N. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable long-established organization and building, designed by a well-known firm of architects and incorporated by a special act of the Saskatchewan legislature (referenced in the article). It is a meeting place for Saskatoon's business and political elite. --Eastmain (talk) 18:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. I came here after seeing the AfD first on the list of recent changes while out on patrol. Eastmain makes a nice point, so SchuminWeb, could you go into detail about the steps you took to make sure that it's the topic that's the problem? It would be considerate, since it saves the rest of us some time. Of course, basing AfD nominations and decisions on an article's present state would not be feasible - we'd have to nuke significant portions of the encyclopedia with each major change of standards. --Kiz o r  19:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Eastmain.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable building in the history of Saskatoon. Double Blue  (Talk) 21:09, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Despite the tidying and that has take place and the claims made there is no independent, third party coverage of the subject (the club). There appears to be no more coverage of the building even if the subject of the article was to change focus. As usual, I will reconsider if reliable sources are provided.

 * Keep, Created under a special act of the legislature, plays an important role as a venue for political, economic and business discussion in the city. If it is deleted, then all the entries under Category:Private clubs should be nominated for deletion.  --M@sk (talk) 02:07, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: WP:WAX. The status of other articles is irrelevant to this one, and every article is judged independently. Resolute 23:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I am not saying keep this article because there are other similar articles (thought it wold make sense to apply rules consistently and based on clear criteria). I am stating if we nominate this article for deletion, we should also nominate all of the other articles for deletion. I would also propose that a clearer definition of Notable is required, this process is quite subjective.   --M@sk (talk) 02:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain. GreenJoe 23:51, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Here is the article from the StarPhoenix about the club. http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/story.html?k=29454&id=3f841654-5aa0-4fd0-aa27-c71bd86ad3f3 --Eastmain (talk) 00:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per StarPhoenix story. Created under a special act of the legislature sure makes it unique. -Royalguard11 (T·R!) 04:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
