[edit] Are these London's gentlemen's clubs?

Alpine Club (UK) -- A former club of this type Cobden Club -- a working men's club Fox Club -- a members' bar and restaurant of modern foundation http://www.foxclublondon.com/site.html Portland Club -- a bridge club, probably without premises

I propose to cut these, unless anyone has other views. --Duncan 08:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Still around?

Is the Beefsteak Club part of the Celdonian now? --Duncan 08:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to Fox club is wrong

I'm not quite sure how to correct this but the link to the Fox club listed here goes to one at Harvard, not the one in London. In order to fix I think someone would need to make a new page like Fox club (London) or Fox club (gentleman's club). I would but I know very little about it other than that their food is good! --PaulWicks 10:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria

I have removed this from the main article. While I agree with it, it seems to be a policy for includion on this page, which shuld wither be here or in the article on clubs. --Duncan 19:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

The boundaries of this type of club are not entirely clear cut (it is certainly no longer the case that women are excluded from all these clubs), but at a minimum clubs should only be included if they have a clubhouse and exist primarily to provide services to their members, rather than to profit from hiring out facilities commercially.
I think it would be useful to reinstate it, simply as a brief definition of what is meant by the term. It is common for daughter articles to summarise parent articles in their introductions, and I think it helpful for readers (the vast majority of whom, I would imagine, never look at talk pages).

I concur, It's not just common but mandatory as per WP:LIST (esp. sections "Lead section" and "Criteria for inclusion in lists"). — Komusou talk @ 08:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
