The result was Keep. Consensus is to keep although arguments for independent notability here are a little weak. Merge opinions have merit and this should be considered. Michig (talk) 09:43, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reasonable assertion of notability. Its site was used for various purposes by notable firms in a range of industries, but that doesn't make the restaurant notable DGG ( talk ) 08:34, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - the foundation of the Rugby Football Union in the restaurant in 1871 is a well-attested (and cited) fact and a definite claim to notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:03, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• [Comment] – Possibly merge to Rugby Football Union as per WP:ATD-M. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:19, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge to Rugby Football Union. Changed my initial !vote above to a comment. More offline sources are likely available, since the internet didn't exist in 1871, and the establishment has historical significance. Also, the article has an assertion of importance. Deletion of this topic does not improve the encyclopedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Some period coverage available in google books. Rugby union founding definitely a claim to notability (and definitely the sort of factoid someone would want to look up).Icewhiz (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
