List of pubs in Balmain[edit]

Nothing more than a list of one type of business in a specific area. This is Wikipedia, not wiki Yellow Pages. The majority of links are to non notable pubs, or former pubs. Nuttah68 20:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as currently written as it is a directory. There might be case for an article on the history of pubs in Balmain especially given that we appear to have an article on most of them. Certainly, Dawn Fraser's pub might be worth an article. Capitalistroadster 03:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per not directory. To be honest, most of the pubs listed here wont pass WP:N either Corpx 04:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This list is not good enough for Wikipedia. RS1900 12:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wiki is not a directory - and categories won't be necessary as most pub are just ordinary pubs like zillion others.--JForget 22:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To clarify my delete !vote; if this article can be rewritten to be similar in style to Pubs of Surry Hills, New South Wales, then I would support keeping the article. At present it is merely a list without context and serves very little purpose. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep and redirect~~ Articlfy and move to Pubs of Balmain, New South Wales. Thirteen Balmain hotels are listed on the online database at NSW Heritage. Many of these have architectural and historic interest and are not your average suburban beer barns. There should be enough material available from various sources to create a good article on this subject, and many of the linked stubs could then be merged into the article. --Melburnian 03:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If all those pubs have an article, there is no reason not to have a list, tho it's purpose may be better served by a category. :: maelgwn - talk 23:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)Redirect to Balmain article per directory guidelines. An article (not a list) could be created on Pubs in Balmain. :: maelgwn - talk 23:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Why just pubs and not fabric shops or ladies boutiques in the area? Because Wikipedia is written by bored male college students. The Wikipedia is not the yellow pages - sorry guys. --Eqdoktor 06:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
