Sauna culture in The Netherlands and Flanders

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability has not been established, no reliable sources. AFAIK, there's no definite "Sauna culture" in Flanders and/or the Netherlands. There are sauna's, but that's not "sauna culture" Kleuske (talk) 11:53, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Archetypal novel synthesis. Nominator has it right here, nothing put forth indicates that this sauna information represents a "sauna culture". And the geographic restrictions set by the article's title are peculiar even were that not the case. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:42, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete All but one of the references the article is based on are promotional texts or guidelines issued by the sauna industry. No reasoning is given why sauna use in the "Netherlands and Flanders" (why are they mentioned together?) should have its own article. Article creates the impression that there is different sauna use in other Western European countries, which is not elaborated on. Since this nomination the author of this article has created a new article with the same content but a slightly different title, see Sauna in the Netherlands and Flanders. Seems to me a bad faith action. Just removing the word "culture" does not remove the sense that the article implies a cultural aspect that stands out and needs to be mentioned, deserving an article. Which in my opinion it does not. --VanBuren (talk) 10:39, 25 January 2015 (UTC) (added 'delete' 12:28, 26 January 2015 (UTC))
 * I've redirected the new article to this title - it looks like the original text including the spelling mistake I corrected in the one under discussion here. Peridon (talk) 17:05, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

 * DeleteNo notable "Sauna culture" in either Belgium or the Netherlands. There are sauna's but that's all. Notablility has not been established. Lotje (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
