Bally Total Fitness[edit]

one week old article consists of one paragraph smear of subject fitness club. Possibly defamatory material needs to be removed or at least balanced with company's PoV. Otherwise delete the whole thing. FRS 21:00, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom -- Thanks to W.marsh for the improvements. FRS 23:46, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem, I was surprised we didn't at least have a stub on this company. Thanks for bringing it to AfD... it was in pretty bad shape. --W.marsh 23:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have rewritten and cited sources for the claims so hopefully the POV issues are solved. Could still use some expansion, particularly info about the company other than complaints. But I think it establishes notability and isn't just attacking the company like the earlier version. --W.marsh 22:47, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - thanks for the rewrite, W.marsh! FreplySpang (talk) 22:52, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and clean up more. Jtmichcock 23:35, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Part of the Bally companies that were created over time. Quite a few articles link here so a cleaned up article is really needed. Vegaswikian 07:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
