Suggest deletion because of lack of notable people or events associated with the bar. (I have checked other well known bars and the ones on Wikipedia tend to have famous clientele or events associated with them). Newhaven lad (talk) 16:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep tons of local, regional, and national coverage in the 31 (!) sources provided by the article creator make this unquestionably notable. LGBTQ Nation, based in San Francisco, covered the impact of changes to Washington State regulatory body policy (WSLCB) directly connected to events at this particular bar; it is noted in several local "top establishment" lists and in-depth reviews, as well as being noted as a best-in-nation by the national publication Esquire; coverage spans from well before the 2021 arson until the present time. When evaluating sources pls note KING-TV#Canadian and out-of-market coverage which states coverage extends well beyond the Puget Sound terrestrial broadcast area with 4 million+ potential viewers; it is carried in Eastern Washington, Canada, Alaska, and even the Bahamas. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy for this to be retained. I struggled to find any meaningful links to other Wiki pages. I know that isn't a reason for deletion, but it makes it harder to justify retention. Perhaps those in favour of retention could add some wikilinks. Newhaven lad (talk) 20:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
