Article is a means of
WP:PROMOTION failing
WP:NPOV for a nightclub that doesn't meet
WP:GNG. Sources either aren't
WP:RS (rather, they are advertising sites) or are
WP:ROUTINE covering criminal incidents at the establishment.

Check the references! The article is verifiable! Is it really this hard to contribute to Wikipedia?

Delete A run-of-the-mill nightclub with run-of-the-mill coverage (and not much of that) in local media outlets. I am sorry, but a nightclub doesn't become notable because a bouncer once got shot, not at this joint, but at a strip club next door.

Delete. I could find no evidence suggesting this is anything other than the run-of-the-mill local bar it appears to be. This is on the edge of being eligible for speedy deletion under
WP:CSD#G11 as unambiguous promotion. --

Do Not Delete. So just because the article has references to promotion websites its deemed a promotional article? We have seen references like this all over Wikipedia. I in no way, shape or form see how this article is promoting anything. The references may be but those references are there to insure that this place actually exists.

It's not just about promotion (although the various unsourced claims about its popularity could be taken as promotion), it's about the lack of meaningful in-depth coverage. 2 local newspaper stories and some directory listings aren't enough to meet
WP:GNG or
WP:CORP. --

Drummer14cnr, there simply isn't any indication that this business is anything more than a
run of the mill local business, and the article looks like advertising, which goes against our strong policy spelled out at
WP:NOTADVERTISING. Wikipedia doesn't collect articles on routine local businesses. You asked above if it is "really this hard to contribute to Wikipedia". The answer is that we welcome and try to encourage new editors, but the contributions need to be about topics that actually belong here. For example, in the article for
Red Deer, Alberta, I noted that the city has at least three sizable high schools, only one of which currently has an article (and that one is scanty). Red Deer's three high schools are examples of worthwhile subjects for this encyclopedia; the Lotus Nightclub isn't. --

Delete. I wouldn't quite call for speedy deletion, but it's still not notable. Once it attracts national attention, maybe it will qualify for an article.
