The Bronze

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

Non-notable fictional bar. The few sources that discuss the Bronze at all beyond noting it as a location discuss it not as a standalone subject but entirely in terms that some of the music of Buffy (itself a clearly notable topic) is played there. The notability of the series is WP:NOTINHERITED by every aspect of it. Article has been tagged as under-referenced for going on seven years. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 01:09, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/merge The topic is a spinoff from Music in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in which it is a section. The topic is discussed directly in sources such as Strutting and Fretting: A Music Arc Needs a Stage — The Bronze. Our editing policy is therefore to develop this material rather than deleting it.

The proffered source is one that I looked at in deciding whether to make this nomination. It covers the music used within the series and discusses the Bronze solely in terms of its being a music venue and not in its own right. An article on how Buffy used music would be encyclopedic and the proffered source would certainly be useful in writing it but it does not support a separate article on the fictional bar itself.

Delete. Not notable. I guess it could be merged back to wherever it was originally spun off, but I don't really see the point. The source offered above seems to fit more to the parent article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The one source provided isn't significant enough for an entire article on the topic, and it seems likely any discussion on the topic will fit within the music article. TTN (talk) 17:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
