Delete as non-notable. Jeremjay 24 21:51, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Balmain. If all that's warranted is a mention there, then that's okay and amounts to a redirect. But it seems like it's probably worth at least a mention in that article if it was truly established in 1860. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability not established, fails WP:CORP. WWGB (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Balmain, New South Wales Orderinchaos 03:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to being an historic building. As such, is not required to meet WP:CORP, but need to make sure that the article doesn't start to promote the current use of the building, without it meeting WP:CORP. It could well be a good idea to merge, although merge to suburb doesn't sound so good. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if it really dates back to 1860 then that is really old for Australia.--filceolaire (talk) 20:13, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Balmain, New South Wales, which is the best alternative to deletion. After looking through Google News Archive, I could not find any sources that would establish this pub's notability.
I found a number of sources that dated from the 1800s, but all were passing mentions that could not even verify that this was a pub. For example, this brief mention from The Sydney Herald (dated May 18, 1869) provides little context. Cunard (talk) 07:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
