Bamboo Group Entertainment

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

First, I may be wrong here, but the article certainly feels like spam. Its creator, Lyle Stein, produced a short burst of edits relating to this club - his only activity on Wikipedia.

Second, I don't see any clear indication of reliable sources establishing notability. This is a corporate directory. This and this are blog posts. True, this is from an established newspaper, but announcements of club openings happen routinely, without that necessarily establishing a claim to notability.

The rest of the "references" deal with celebrities who have performed at the club. Now, for one, this seems to fall under WP:NOTINHERITED: just because notable individuals A, B and C performed in venue X for one or two or five nights does not necessarily make the latter notable. And for another, the sourcing on those appearances is generally wretched. There's a hefty dose of tabloids Libertatea and Cancan, and then some truly awful stuff like the club's Pinterest page, a press release, another press release and some random ad on a blog. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:20, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Note prior AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamboo Club - I declined a WP:CSD#G4 nomination to delete Bamboo Group Entertainment because the two articles were different and G4 didn't apply, but I agree that this one isn't a keeper either. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. The club is well-known in Romania. Here are two independent sources: ProTV and Ziua. They present the Bamboo club in a negative tone (regarding it's financial situation), but the first one says it is "the most well-known club in Romania" and the second calls the club "famous" and says that it "is percieved as a label of luxury". Another source, Adevărul, says "Bamboo este simbolul fițelor" (Bamboo is the symbol of being excessively trendy, in my approximative translation). Razvan Socol (talk) 04:09, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hello. I am definitely not an expert on this, but it seems to me that this page contains potentially useful information. Yes, the page could be improved, but i believe that it is better to have something rather than nothing. And i disagree with the policy that articles on non-notable things should be deleted. Merci Beaucoup. NHCLS (talk) 22:16, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you disagree with Wikipedia policy, perhaps Wikipedia isn't the place for you. Whether you like it or not, this is the policy: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This is an encyclopedia. That means we must discriminate between what is notable and what isn't. That means, at times, it is better to have nothing than to have something. That's why we have so many guidelines to help us gauge notability. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:07, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
