probably), and note that most delete votes should be discounted because they miss the point.  The article has as clear a claim of notability as there can be: "Jason's was famous for two things:..."  If that's true, it's clearly notable.  That means notability over time for an establishment, in business 30 years, that's the launching places for careers of famous people.  That passes .  Closing down doesn't affect notability - once notable, always notable.  We're not a directory of open businesses.  So the only issue is whether the claim is true, and sourcing.  I see about 500+ google hits and several dozen news stories combining Jason's, Dublin ,and Snooker.  It would take more searching but just on the first couple pages I see non-trivial mentions in reliable sources.  They're not always substantial write-ups but they're not trivial or passing either.  One - http://www.ranelagharts.org/raf2006.pdf. These three you would need to find another way to get the article: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-60918173.html http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-88595641.html http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-61098233.html.  A book, http://books.google.com/books?id=s45ISZVTXZoC&pg=RA1-PA12&lpg=RA1-PA12&dq=jason's+snooker&source=web&ots=t_s5zqTqJj&sig=EA8enRcMKw_EM5B-ZDgCuiQYdDA.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/1782353.stm.  That's from a quick look.  If anyone wants to do a more exhaustive search, the sources seem to be out there.  This is a classic example of a business that seems notable, only the article needs improvement.  When in doubt, improve, don't delete
