I count 5 "deletes" to 1 "keep" (anon and sockpuppet votes discounted) to 1 "merge". Rossami (talk) 03:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Embo

A night club in Tamworth isn't encyclopaedic. 8 or so hits on google for "The Embo" Tamworth. Hedley 19:00, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Delete. If kept, it should be moved to The Embassy, Tamworth, or something. A search for '"The Embassy" Tamworth' finds over 1000 hits, most of which are related, however, the article seems to be straight advertising, so I vote delete. — Asbestos | Talk 19:50, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity for a non-notable business. Martg76 21:09, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep!! This is in no way a vanity article as it seems to provide a balanced view of both pros and cons of the establishment. At very least move to The Embassy Tamworth
• Keep!!. This is an informative article about an important and relevant venue in Tamworth!!
  • Sockpuppet votes crossed out. Both by the same anon IP user (very similiar IPs). Hedley 16:50, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
  • And to clarify, the IPs are different but the range has been used on VfDs for articles such as Mishing recently to sockpuppet the voting. Hedley 17:01, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, no need to delete this, a well written article (allbeit about a fairly non-notable place). If the need be, move to The Embassy, Tamworth. Ensure it's sufficiently well-linked from Tamworth pages etc too. Not vanity/advertising. UkPaolo 16:43, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Usual disambiguation title would be "The Embassy (Tamworth)", or maybe "The Embassy (club)" (though this is more likely to clash some day). I deleted a cut & paste copy made at the location suggested above. There was nothing at The Embassy at the time of writing, but I took the liberty of redirecting that to World Professional Darts Championship, as "The Embassy" without context is most commonly used as the (former) nickname of this event.

• Delete. Advert and non-notable. A well-written advert would still be an advert, and I personally don't find this article well written. Quale 01:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Obviously not an advert as contains negative comments. Maybe move to The Embassy Tamworth. Linking well from Tamworth page is a good idea I agree.
• Merge with Tamworth#Nightlife. This page can become a disambig page - there is an Embassy night club in Redhill, Surrey about which its clientel might wish to make similar comments. -- RHaworth 20:03, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 08:06, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment if Merged or Kept, it could use a cleanup and some context. Vegaswikian 06:22, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
