The Customs House

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable arts centre, though just where this is located is never entirely clear in the jumbled text that is being put up for nomination today. Too much of the article reads like marketing collateral, and the WP:RS problem is obvious (this was cited when the article was declined a speedy delete). Ecoleetage (talk) 16:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep but reduce to stub if necessary. It's a reasonably well-known theatre in South Shields, Tyne and Wear. I'm not sure what the notability criteria is for theatres / arts centres, but I believe the Customs House does get a fair number of professional theatre productions coming its way.

 * Keep but rename -- I have just tidied it up, wikified it, and added an introductory sentence, but it still needs more. "Customs House" is ambiguous, since all important ports have or had one.  This problem is not cured by prefix "The".  Rename to The Customs House, South Shields or The Customs House Theatre or The Customs House (theatre).  Not being a local, I cannot suggest anything better, but perhaps some one else can.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
