The result was SPEEDY CLOSE. Nominator, Lumberjake (talk · contribs) has since been blocked due to sockpuppetry. Other questionable AfDs and removal of numerous PRODs. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 07:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable. Kill it with fire. Lumberjake (talk) 22:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP. A gay bar in the South open for 30 years? Oldest continually operated gay bar in NC? That is certainly notable. A piece of gay history worth preserving, I'd say. Article can be improved stylistically and by addition of more references, but don't delete it. Textorus (talk) 02:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Textorus, plenty notable. Improve through regular editing per WP:AfD. Benjiboi 04:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP per Textorus. I grew up in the area and it's historic to many gay North Carolinians. I'll work on the article. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look at this[1] edit by Lumberjake. Calling it "crap" isn't really the best way to voice your opinion of an article's worth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AgnosticPreachersKid (talk • contribs) 05:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Sourced, notable to Playboy magazine apparently. Nommed by someone with an account that is only 5 days old? *blinks* - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 04:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. User is obviously experienced although could be a new account rather than a sock, why? who knows. They also seem to have a deletionist bent but that's not always a bad thing. Using "kill with fire" on a subject about a gay bar in the south where places are often burned as hate crimes is problematic but otherwise they can weild the AfD ax like anyone else.

    • Comment. I'm not aware of connotations of the term, it's simply a phrase I picked up after lurking the Internets for many a year. And as for the axe reference... clever. Lumberjake (talk) 06:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
