The only non local source is Huffington Post, not an acceptable source for notability. (The BBC reference is about their program, not the club)  DGG ( talk ) 01:29, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I find the nomination statement to be rather lacking. The Huffington Post, for example, is normally a RS, so dismissing it without explanation is pretty silly.  Local sources CAN convey notability, especially when by "local" you mean publications in a city of nearly 2 million people (Philadelphia).  That said, there is a real referencing problem: refs 1,3, & 4 are incidental mentions - the story is about something else.  Ref 2 (the Huffington one) is a blog and probably not subject to editorial oversight - it may convey some level of notability, but not as much as regular HP story.  The final ref is the best one, but even it is just one paragraph of text.  Thus, there doesn't seem to be enough RS coverage to establish notability.  However, I will wait for input from AfC acceptor  before decided for sure.  (Incidentally there is a notable establishment in Detroit by the same name). --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:18, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment I don't see the BBC content at the moment, link broken or something, but otherwise I agree completely with ThaddeusB's analysis of sources.  Might have flubbed this, might have thought there was more to the BBC coverage, I honestly don't recall. Weird.  Seems like it would have taken a fair bit more for me to think this meet WP:CORP. --j⚛e deckertalk 03:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
