Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hofje van Oorschot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete per WP:V. In accordance with WP:DGFA, articles must be deleted even if the discussion fails to arrive at a consensus for deletion, when it is very unlikely that an article on the topic can exist without breaching the core policies WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. In this case, the article has been unsourced since 2004, and is thus presumably unverifiable. It may be recreated once sources become available. Sandstein 06:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep A courtyard can be notable. The lack of sources is a problem to be overcome by means other than deletion. It does, of course, not establish notability, but let's give editors a chance to fix that by slapping a {{notability}} tag on the article. If that fails, then we can AfD the article again.

  • Keep. This is not a random courtyard, it is a courtyard that was built in 1769 and is a tourist attraction for Haarlem. Note: I started this article when I lived in Haarlem and got interested in the city's history. Guus 23:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The article does not establish notability or cite any sources, which is troubling, but it looks like a tourist attraction and a historical monument. I think sources for this can be found. Melsaran (talk) 11:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
