- We're happy to assess your new article as well as developed articles. Make a request here.

[edit]- The Peel Club (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:CLUB, not a seemingly national organization, nor has it received reliable and independent coverage from secondary sources. Only able to find primary sourcing via the subject's website and some selfhost/blog sites. SmittenGalaxy | talk! 02:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Politics, and United Kingdom. SmittenGalaxy | talk! 02:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- The selfhost/blog site secondary source is the website of a professional historian (Laura Adkins) and published author (Kateryn Parr: Henry VIII's Sixth Queen ISBN: 9781399082853) which did a feature article on the The Peel Club as a sole subject matter.
- Another major listed source, Historic UK, is a huge online website with over one million visitors per month for verified mainstream information, and writes about Robert Peel, the namesake of the The Peel Club in question, and references its archives of nationally-important history, with images also.
- Both these sources are high quality, independently verifiable channels, which meet the criteria of Wikipedia. What flags suspicion or illegitimacy here is the selfhost/blog site type domain (as the algorithm already warned), but that type of web hosting format is the technical preference of the historian/journalist in question, and must be respected. It should be manually checked and the article read, but this flag for deletion arises from a source moniker standing out, and not from a manual check of the source article which is legitimate.
- Lastly, The Peel Club is a sister institution of the Carlton Club and shares the same status as a national organisation, being that it is a secondary club-within-a-club there at 69 St James's Street, London SW1A 1PJ. The petition for page deletion is contested on these several grounds argued. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 02:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Fails WP:NCLUB" -- this test citation is a football association rating system to determine club notability. The page in question The Peel Club is a social private members' club for dining, not sports nor sporting team or football. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 02:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I corrected the cited policy, the shortcut was not NCLUB but is instead WP:CLUB. You can review this policy instead and go from there. SmittenGalaxy | talk! 03:09, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- The original link was to WP:NCLUB, did you adjust it? I have checked WP:CLUB and the test is met and satisfied by the responses provided in my original reply. If not solely just from being part of the Carlton Club as a subsidiary brand. Potentially, the closing administrator might decide on a Merged Subject with the Carlton Club page, but The Peel Club page will likely be recreated in the near future anyway due to the high profile nature of its members being British Government figures, and very high probability of increased media coverage. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 12:06, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

The sources currently on the page are primary sources, and what you have given is no different than what is already on the page. Per the policy on primary sources,Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.
I also find the Historic UK source unconvincing as a secondary, reliable source. The Wordpress site you linked below is not only not currently on the page, but Wordpress is considered generally unreliable except in uses for uncontroversial descriptions and when used by subject-matter experts.If not solely just from being part of the Carlton Club as a subsidiary brand
Notability is not inherited; something is not notable just because it is in proximity to something that is notable. We rely on the general notability guidelines and subject notability guidelines (in this case, the subject notability guideline on organizations, and specifically clubs, as in the deletion proposal) to tell when something is notable, and just being part of something that is does not confer notability. SmittenGalaxy | talk! 23:57, 19 August 2024 (UTC)- This user has been editing multiple pages to seemingly create a presence for ‘The Peel Club’ on Wikipedia. It appears this is a promotional activity and a review of their edit history will show this. There is no evidence of any formal link to the Carlton Club. The organisation appears to be very new and does not have evidence of public relevance. Cylinder8837 (talk) 00:18, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- That's incorrect, I have been resolving the orphan page warning requirements demanded of the single one page for The Peel Club created in good faith, that became defective without related article ties. The ties made were methodical, logical and perfectly appropriate. The other page edits, again, are NOT promotional, if not because promo and awareness of an ostensibly secret club is moot and without reward. Moreover, the purpose of adding the information to related pages was advised by OrphanPage flag to stop it being deleted. So, again, it would seem admins are looking for a boogeyman where there is not one. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 02:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- The secondary source of 'wordpress' is indeed in the page sources:[1] and there are 4 in total with 2 being secondary and two being primary. I can see all of the sources on the page, yet you are saying they are not present. The historian's article which is a reliable source about the club is entitled: "Ceremony, Robert Peel and Clubland" in the hyperlink preview. It is the third source down.
- With regards to the notability test cited by way of affiliation not being heritable, that's fair enough, however the general grounds of two secondary sources are met, which was originally advised by moderator Paul w. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 02:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- comment I am uneasy about the assertion that "The Peel Club page will likely be recreated in the near future anyway due to the high profile nature of its members being British Government figures, and very high probability of increased media coverage." No reliable sources are given regarding the "British Government figures" (who?) while the 'probability' is pure WP:Crystalball speculation. Paul W (talk) 20:53, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: sourcing is largely primary, so non-helpful. This was all I can find [1], which also isn't helpful. Appears to be PROMO Oaktree b (talk) 16:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Incorrect, again. You have not researched at all, nor even clicked on the source links from The Peel Club Wiki page. You have given a totally unrelated source. See correct sources below: [2] [3] [4]
- If necessary, please perform a Google search. There is a page on Wiki if you need help doing that: how to do a Google search how to do a Google search Hellenistic accountant (talk) 22:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- User 'Oaktree b' is Veteran Wiki mod and advocating for the page deletion of a page he has not read. Visit The Peel Club and please read it before weighing in with deletion support for legitimate pages that have not been read or analysed. Sources are at the bottom and liked pages alike, with ties to Robert Peel and Carlton Club. The page is short and requires very little time to read it. Nothing so far stated in the case for deletion is accurate or relevant and the page should remain. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 23:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have clicked on them. These are primary, a blog and other unhelpful links. These can't be consisered a reliable sorce. Please re-read what you've shared, as the sourced ARE NOT reliable. Oaktree b (talk) 15:39, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm also not a mod, just a long-time editor, fyi. Oaktree b (talk) 00:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Agree. It appears these links are written by someone in 'The Peel Club', it would follow that the user who is attempting to add this page to wiki is the author of those too. Cylinder8837 (talk) 20:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete (or, if it is a spin-off from the Carlton Club, merge): I had reservations about the article's sourcing when it was originally posted on 12 June 2024 (I draftified it). In addition to previous points made, the Adkins article is an interview (which may not be reliable, per WP:IV), and may also be the result of PR/marketing endeavour (so may be additionally unreliable - per User:Oaktree b's PROMO comment).
