Jazz and Dave

Non-notable page about a pub crawl. --Whouk (talk) 13:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Follow up: This pub crawl is extremely popular in Cambridge and is not simply present in one instance. Therefore it cannot be defined as "non-notable". Any suggestions on how to improve the quality of the page in question for it to remain on the website would be helpful. --Dav_H (talk) 14:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete Pub crawls are inherently non-encyclopedic. BadSeed 14:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day - even Cambridge. Robin Johnson 14:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not even convinced the article takes itself seriously. James084 14:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep First of all, BadSeed, Surely the definition of encyclopedia ("A comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field, usually arranged alphabetically.") entirely disproves your notion that pub crawls are "inherently non-encyclopedic". The phrase "wide range of subjects" surely encompasses that of pub-crawling which isn't exactly unknown of in the wider community! Robin Johnson I'm sad to inform you that you are entirely incorrect in your presumption that this article was made by schoolboys. It was made by a bunch of Cambridge students; who believe it definitely has a right to be publicised as it is simply renowned in Cambridge. As for James084; try and make a cogent point next time. I hope you take this information into account when choosing whether it should be deleted. It definitely doesn't in my opinion as it is, by any standards, a "notable" (as you put it) piece of information. Dav_H 15:10, 23 January 2006
    • Comment Concerning your definiton of an encyclopedia, see WP:NOT. Interestingly the article claims the pub crawl was Devised by idealists James Welland and David Holding... in this case Cambridge students are no better than school boys. --BadSeed 15:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-notable. Google hits? 362. Number that refer to a pub crawl? 0. Nothing renown about that. Ifnord 15:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete blatently non-notable. Tsk. Students. Coyote-37 15:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep i will be sad to see the page go, but no hard feelings. If you would like to join a Jazz and Dave pub crawl for a taster of the experience, feel free to join us on the 7th February at The Maypole 7pm. I hope you all can join the group. I have been dismayed to find rumours of a hoax. This is not part of the idealistic spirit purported by Jazz and Dave. I bid you adieu.Dav_H 16:14, 23 January 2006
  • The article describes a pub crawl made up by two students one day. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. The article cites no sources where this pub crawl is documented outside of Wikipedia, and neither Ifnord nor I have been able to find any sources. It is very likely that Dav_H, the creator of the article, is the "David Holding" mentioned in the article as the inventor of the pub crawl. There is no evidence that this pub crawl has been acknowledge by anyone other than its creators and accepted into the corpus of human knowledge, and its creators are clearly documenting it directly here in Wikipedia. This is a mis-use of Wikipedia as a publisher of first instance. The article is both unverifiable and original research. The place for this is the author's own web site. Delete.

  • Delete I'd put my reasons but Uncle G summed it up so eloquently, also I would like to add if you wiki pub crawl you get information on not only pub crawling itself but some of the more famous ones. If pub crawls are inherently non-encyclopedic then one has to question why this is on wiki. Though I do agree that this one should be deleted due to lack of sources amongst other things. --ImmortalGoddezz 18:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, pub crawls are not notable. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per nom. Sorry guys, we can't help rewrite to make it a keep - it is the entry that is a problem not the write up.Obina 23:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepI'm from Saffron Walden outside fairly close to Cambridge but we have the themed pub crawl out here. It may not be notable in other places, but in the East and Cambridgeshire it's legendary. Duck123 09.29 24 January 2006
  • Keep This page is hilarious. I'm a student in London and this is one of the freshest ideas of a pub crawl I've heard. Sure it isn't notable, but I know I'm gonna try this pub crawl out ASAP. Sorpor 9:40 24 January 2006
