The result was keep. Especially considering the nomination was withdrawn (at least I'm treating it as withdrawn). A move to a different title can certainly happen as a normal editing function. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:NORG and WP:GNG. There are hits in mainstream media (e.g., [1], [2], [3]) but all strike me as either routine, promotional, or sensationalist. Stub since 2006, originally about a final club at Harvard of the same name. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we really need to prune out all these articles sourced only to the subject's own website. I believe there are hundreds if not thousands of such articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:01, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm neutral about the notability of the club, but the building is Grade II-listed,[4] so meets WP:GEOFEAT. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:51, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Necrothesp.Djflem (talk) 09:47, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion as yet on notability, but must point out that this article was hijacked in 2007, having originally being about Fox Club. Someone who likes doing that sort of thing should sort out the histories of these articles. I also note that the club in London was founded in the 1960s, not in the time of Charles James Fox.

- Hmm, perhaps we should hijack it again to be about the building/address per Necrothesp and Djflem, since the club seems fairly unremarkable …… AleatoryPonderings (talk) 17:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article is about a club, not a building. Fails GNG and ORGCRIT. // Timothy :: talk 04:59, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GEOFEAT as a Grade II listed building and repurpose the article to be about the building that happens to be currently occupied by the club. How best to do this can be discussed on the article talk page. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:17, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, repurpose, and presumably move to 45 and 46 Clarges Street or similar per Malcolmxl5. I'd withdraw but don't think I can since there have been delete votes. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
