Talk:40/40 Club

message: A past revision of this article stated that there is a location of this club in Los Angeles. I removed this, as not only can I find no reference to the existence of such a club, I can't even find a recent reference that indicates anything about future plans for one; furthermore, there is no link to an LA location on the official website, even though links exist for the yet-to-be-opened Vegas/Macau/Tokyo clubs. --SesameballTalk 21:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Los Angeles location 

message: this section is either speculation or sourced from a marginally notable blog from a marginally notable writer. unless this can be better sourced, since it verges on unfavorable commentary on jay-z, i am removing it per WP:BLP. if anyone wants to add it back, just source it properly, i have no bias either way.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Closing of Las Vegas club 

message: This lawsuit was settled in March of 2010 for a relatively small undisclosed amount.  Candicedavis4040 (talk) 21:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What's the source of this information? And how do you know that the amount is "small" if it is undisclosed? Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

text: This section is not supported by *ANY* references or sources - let alone Wikipedia acceptable sources. I agree that it is a reasonable subject for a section *IF* there are references and sources - but there are not. As such, it classifies as rumor and innuendo, not suitable for the article. Yet.  I've removed it. =//= Johnny Squeaky 22:31, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  NYC location labor dispute 

message: But the Health Dept apparently did close the club for health code violations, receiving a "C" grade. Source: http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/21/jay-z-40-40-club-health-code/ http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/21/jay-z-40-40-club-health-code/ Though it's been said the club is closed for renovations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.35.137 (talk) 21:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Health Code Violations 

message: An editor has been attempting to remove sourced material from the article as being too trivial and too distant in time to be important, but I do not think a law suit by the club's employees and a finding of financial irregularities is insignificant.  It should remain in the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of sourced material 

message: Preliminary
@BMK and @JS. Both of you are edit-warring. 
JS is removing sourced material (RS and V of which may be questionable). 
BMK is adding unsourced material.
So how do you want to go about achieving consensus ??

replies: text: I think the issue is deeper than just sourced / unsourced material. Both the sections on the minor (and long ago) labor dispute and the section on the closed Vegas location go far beyond fact and well into editorial territory. Wikipedia is not a soap box. =//= Johnny Squeaky 04:56, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Also, "consensus" is not always possible when the input comes from a small number of views. Here's the thing: I don't question a labor dispute or that perhaps the Las Vegas closed after a poor showing of business. But there is such a thing as "proper weight", and "undue weight". I don't object to mentioning a labor dispute (in fact I am a long time labor union member), but I think the objectiveness of the article suffers when a section is both out of proportion and clearly POV. I think that the article as it now stands is fine, and if there is to be mention of the labor dispute, it should be no more than one small to medium paragraph, as it simply isn't a huge part of the discussion of this club to anyone other than those intimately involved in labor relations... The concept I keep coming back to is "undue weight". =//= Johnny Squeaky 01:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
