Speedy delete as G11 (blatant advertising). No assertion of any notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. Also note that the creator of the article has started a number of similar topic non notable articles. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Basement12 (T.C) 01:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The author is creating a guidebook/directory of marinas (against WP:NOT) and is basically copying and pasting primary sources (chronic persistent copyvio). That said, Duncan Clinch Marina seems to have some regional, but non-trivial RS coverage. • Gene93k (talk) 02:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added an article from the Traverse City Record-Eagle, and I think that this article probably passes notability now. I don't think that including listings for marinas is in violation of WP:NOT, any more than having listings for dead politicians or dead popes. There are parallels between ports and railway stations which would argue in favor of automatic notability for at least some ports (and airports as well, although I realize that at least one small airfield has been deleted at AfD. --Eastmain (talk) 04:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The articles cited contain just general community coverage that any local business/place would receive at one time or another, but there's no indication of the kind of WP:N Wikipedia requires. Flowanda | Talk 01:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
