Another contested draft with zero in-depth coverage and no improvement. Searches turned up zero in-depth coverage. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  11:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Inadequate coverage. If we are going to have an English-language article about this venue, someone is going to need to do a better job of writing an article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:32, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * KEEP, it's a great article. Evangp (talk) 13:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Even taking into account the sources on the French version, it fails WP:GNG. QuicoleJR (talk) 11:45, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment:The present en.wiki article text is horribly truncated on the long history of this venue, which can be found described as "L'Eldorado, the aristocrat of the cafés-concerts" and painted by Sickert . Note also that, as per the fr.wiki article, a "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" designation was placed on the 1933 cinema hall (which replaced the original cafés-concert hall): .

 * Keep: I have expanded the article to provide a summary reflecting the history of the Eldorado. More could surely be said about the performers there, but for the moment I included famous artworks by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Walter Sickert; a performance there by Félix Mayol may also be reflected in Proust: all of these perhaps fall under WP:NOTINHERITED but indicate the Eldorado's cultural position in its era. Anyway, the French Culture Ministry's "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" designation of the later building (apparently somewhere between Blue plaque and Listed building status in the UK?) seems sufficient to demonstrate notability under WP:NBUILD criterion 1.

 * Keep: Clearly passes GNG in its current iteration.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  01:24, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep in light of expansion by AllyD per WP:HEY, which clearly demonstrates historical notability of this 165-year-old venue per WP:GNG. Obviously there is room for further expansion (and incorporation of additional sources, including books), but it's much better than when it was first nominated for deletion.

 * Keep per WP:HEY passes WP:GNG on improving edits made by AllyD. ResonantDistortion 18:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
