fails WP:ORG , hardly any third party coverage [1]. I would reconsider if someone can find substantial coverage in Finnish. LibStar (talk) 07:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Chances are someone will restart the article if it gets deleted. Tavastia is undisputably the most famous rock music club in Finland, and of serious cultural value. Here is an extensive article on the club's history from the biggest newspaper in Northern Europe, Helsingin Sanomat, titled "On the forefront of rock for three decades: Tavastia has seen anything from Hanoi Rocks to HIM". The article has numerous inbound links, and pages like Eppu Normaali and most of the bands from Finnish rock could well be added in the future. I can take some time to expand this article if the Helsingin Sanomat write-up qualifies as a realiable source, even if the information can not be directly verified by an English-speaker. --hydrox (talk) 00:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Sources in Finnish are perfectly acceptable, but there are also plenty available in English. Simply by following the Google Books link above you can see amongst the search results, "the most visible emporium for rock 'n' roll is Tavastia" and "the most important rock club on the national level is the Tavastia club".

- Keep a search shows many sources to establish notability of this club. -- Whpq (talk) 15:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
