Violate
Seemingly non-notable British BDSM club, article hasn't been really touched in over half a year. Proposed for deletion contested, with the argument:
 * Removed "Delete" tag: "Violate Glasgow" on google returns this club, and website link on article connects to club too: according to clubs web page it still meeets monthly. If nothing changes re club, entry won't need updating either, though I agree it should be expanded.

So what? If compared to SMFR (which was deleted), it is found on Google among the first hits, the external link connected to the club's official site, and the club organises events every month or every two months. Still the article was deleted. The only thing that makes Violate more notable than SMFR is its involvement in Scottish politics. I vote delete. J I P | Talk 16:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't know if that's good enough. AnonEMouse (squeak) 14:12, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's an obvious deletion candidate.  If you search "violate" on Google, you get the verb.  Ignore that, though.  Is this club famous?  Is it being written about outside of its niche community?  Is it the first of its kind?  Is it the leader in some area (nipple clamps or wet leather or something)?  Are they the meanest, nicest, biggest, smallest, or any other -est?  Are they in the news?  Are they anything other than a club for a small segment of the population of a city?

 * Comment (no vote yet, maybe later). Well, I did find these links that describe it as:
 * "Scotland's longest running Fetish/BDSM Club."
 * "Violate is Scotland's most popular, regular BDSM/Fetish club"
 * I don't think coverage on a special erotica-oriented site is enough. Again comparing to SMFR, it was mentioned both on an international erotica site and in a notable Finnish newspaper (although quite small articles in both). If that is not notable enough, neither is this. J I P  | Talk 16:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
