 * Keep The nomination is inadequate per WP:VAGUEWAVE. There has been a tavern here for centuries and The London Encyclopedia traces its history back to 1664.  There have been several name changes and rebuilds during this time.  The page in question documents the latest, recent incarnation but even that seems reasonably notable as a live music venue.  I intend to do some work on the history of this place and will may start other pages for the other significant names for the establishment.  The worst case will be merger of such pages per WP:PRESERVE and so deletion is not appropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 15:32, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * One location, one article, I would say, just as it is covered in sources such as and .  Terrible article.  Historical and well-documented location.  Be careful about the identification with Busby's Folly, which several sources (including what I cite here) say is an error.  Uncle G (talk) 16:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any obvious problems with this article. I would note that the Evening Standard highlights this establishment in an article speaking about an issue involving music venues in general, which to me says something about its notability. StonyBrook (talk) 02:19, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Well aside from the fact that the cited source is a pub promoter advertising xyr pub who clearly does not know history, and the construction date and history that xe gives are wrong according to and others; there's the matter of it being recentist rubbish that gives no mention of a street address that has been two pubs, a tea gardens, a restaurant, and others over 2&frac12; centuries, and instead gives the reader a useless list of recent stage acts.  That's what one gets with an article written sourced to pub promotion and entertainment guides instead of history books.  Uncle G (talk) 11:27, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
