While all the references in this article support that the acts mentioned played there, non go into detail about the bar itself. I can not find any significant coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:GEOFEAT. Sarahj2107 (talk) 12:17, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As mentioned by the nominator and in the article, there is coverage in lots of sources as many notable bands have played there, therefore it can be included here. It can't be redirected or merged to any one band, so the only option left is to keep. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:09, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The sources in the article only mention the bar in passing and are mostly about the bands themselves. I don't think any of them provide the significant coverage required for GNG. Sarahj2107 (talk) 12:48, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, but lots and lots and lots of them mention it, really far too many just to be written off as a local pub. Indeed, trying to find a source that talks about the venue has been made extremely difficult due to being drowned out by the number of notable bands playing there. (Incidentally, on my search for sources I discovered SOS Sahel in the same building has several book hits). Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:58, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
