Most of the article is not about a precinct. The precinct is only mentioned twice as a vague area which is notorious. Otherwise, it is just a collection of Gold Coast venues and events. Neither reference mentions the precinct at all. Shiftchange (talk) 23:28, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article is more a list of external links to private venues masquerading as an article about the precinct. LibStar (talk) 02:45, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, WP:Rome wasn't built---. A decent start, useful, and the template suggests many more of the articles within it should also be up for deletion. Make it more encyclopedic if need be, but I think the article does good. MMetro (talk) 17:57, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 04:07, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have added in two new external links that reference the Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise Nightlife specifically. The article obviously needs some work done but to delete the article would be foolish in my opinion. This is one of the most notorious nightlife areas in Australia after all. Given Wikipedia is intended to provide information about the world, I can't see why this should be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.160.205 (talk) 04:56, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge. Although the area exists, it's difficult to find any good refs for it. It's hard to imagine what would be in this article that couldn't be covered by Surfers Paradise, Queensland. Doctorhawkes (talk) 10:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
