Notability of the venue is not discussed. Article consists largely of a list of performers who have appeared there. No significant coverage of the venue is shown in the references. Frank | talk 22:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's hard to judge the notability of a defunct venue from decades ago, but this link from the references seems significant; it's from the BBC, or a local subsidiary, and it reviews a book which goes into great depth about the club. Also, a notable live album by the Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the UK: Live at the 76 Club, was recorded there. The article's English was halting but I have cleaned it up. --MelanieN (talk) 01:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Assuming you mean this link...really? ...the visit of the Sex Pistols to a shell shocked, mainly hippy, 76 Club audience in September 1976... constitutes great depth about the club?

- The article is a book review. It's the book (the one being reviewed) that apparently goes into great depth about the "small, but mighty" 76 Club. Since we don't have the book, we have to rely on the review to tell us what it was about. Here's more, from the author himself, about what impelled him to write the book (namely, he read an article that was "singing the praises of the 76 club"). I'll let you and others judge for yourselves whether this second-hand stuff is enough corrobboration of notability, or not. I have no dog in this fight. --MelanieN (talk) 20:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And here's what that page says: Though some of the town's most notorious live music events are covered in some detail, for example the visit of the Sex Pistols to a shell shocked, mainly Hippy, 76 Club audience in September 1976, and the town's first encounter with Beatles style 'fan mania' with the visit of the chart topping Kinks in 1964, the emphasis is very much on local groups. 76.182.66.233 (talk) 01:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- For what it's worth, the book is self-published. That makes it questionable as a source, even if it does cover the 76 Club in some detail. Dunncon13 (talk) 13:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- The fact that a nightclub occasionally had concerts by notable bands does not make it notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:38, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Multiple sources, including one explicitly stating that its a tourist attraction, should satisfy WP:GNG.--PinkBull 20:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
