The Railway Inn

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a procedural nomination based on the motives of the creator. The editor (now blocked by me) created an article about the GLUM band (since recreated before they were blocked), created an article about each of the band members (speedily deleted by me), added the band to various pages at Wikipedia, and created this article obviously to highlight the GLUM band. Note that three of the six references are in support of the GLUM band. Regardless of all that, the article should only be deleted if it doesn't meet our notability guidelines. I'm hardly an expert in popular music venues, so I thought I'd let the community reach a consensus on whether it should be kept or deleted. Bbb23 (talk) 01:28, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete No coverage in independent reliable sources that I could find, not notable per WP:GNG. Jinkinson   talk to me  01:44, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Having a few notable bands play at a venue does not satisfy notability criteria by itself. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete It's just another pub that does live music of certain genres. It is emphatically not the only the music venue in Winchester unless music is defined exceptionally narrowly - I can name several others, starting with the Cathedral and the Irish pub on the High Street.  The author has firmly established his credentials as a POV-pusher. Philip Trueman (talk) 13:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This is the only dedicated alternative music venue in Winchester, this has inspired me to start articles! Glum have received warnings from the council about flyposting, but they are an upcoming band, I've seen them twice! The articles were clearly self promotional however I have edited it and found references to all the information given and can confirm their importance to Hampshire. Several other bands are coming up receiving equal amounts of press and I will work on these next. There is clear notable evidence on all these articles and despite being labelled promotional I have gone over the article's and the evidence is provided and given. This is clearly a 'war' with a user, ignoring the evidence provided. I have edited The Railway Inn's page and added the word 'dedicated' before 'music venue' which clears up the other issue from Philip Trueman. I have seen Frank Turner play at the venue three times and he even mentions it in his song 'I Still Believe' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNZqxZSd_7Q User:lulapoppy  talk to me
 * I have blocked this user as a suspected sock of the original article creator.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - There is nothing notable about this pub. A search reveals that it is not a listed building, which would be a far better reason that a pub should have an article (if Grade II* or Grade I). Mjroots (talk) 12:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
