Talk:The Glasshouse, Gateshead

message: For the  to stay on the article, there should be some actionable comments on the talkpage describing what makes this article appear to be an advertisement. There is no such discussion so I think the tag should be taken down. DVD 18:24, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot would be lost if the article were speedily deleted, ie. coords, categories, images, some information. It just looks to me like it could use some unsourced passages deleted. Some of them are already marked as unsourced. I'm not really seeing the advertisement aspect though, I wish you could point out instances of that here so they could be deleted or rewritten.

replies: text: P.S. You need to complete the AfD steps listed on the template if you want to start that process. DVD 19:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Wow... I understand the advert-objections, but AFD?  What kind of absurd solution is that?  The building alone is notable.  I mean look at it.  You don't like the advertisements, then delete those sections.  Heck, pare it down only the first paragraph (with a gallery) and let it grow back from there.  People are going to want to know what this building is.  Where's the AFD discussion so that I can vote?  DavidRF (talk) 21:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me, also, that the AfD process has not been completed properly. I do not really understand all this AfD stuff but I thought this was the nominator's responsibility and I see no further edits after those here. Otherwise it looks a bit "drive-by" to just tag the article. I would not wish to cause trouble but I am quite tempted, if the process is not completed very soon, to simply remove the tag - if it's not nominated properly then what is there to discuss - and where? Finally, I must add that I find it an extremely questionable nomination, well, totally groundless to be honest. Objections to the content may require attention, sure, but deletion is an unbelievable, wildly inappropriate proposal. It's a major concert venue in a major conurbation, and it must stay.

replies: text: I just took down the AfD template. I suggested AfD when I removed the speedy proposal, expecting it to easily pass and see some improvement while there but it really is the nominator's responsibility to complete the nomination. I'm tempted to remove the  which suggests . I'd prefer to have no template but maybe  would apply. What does everyone here think? Can anyone point to specific statements that make it sound like an advertisement? DVD 01:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of it does read as if it was copied out of a brochure.  The Origins sections focuses a lot on the building's designers and patrons.  Is that common?  The architects are usually mentioned, but there's a lot of detail there I did not expect.  The opening concert was a few years ago now, so that could be trimmed down... no need to sell the free admission over gala concert.  The next paragraph just needs to get rid of some peacock phrasing... "intimate venue", "possibly the world's only", "Even the", "open to the public", "visitors can see".  Just needs rephrasing in my opinion to make it less flowery.  My personal writing style might be too dry, but in my opinion I wouldn't worry about being too dry here with those pictures and the impressive list of appearing artists.  Facts speak better than prose here.  My two cents. DavidRF (talk) 01:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: DavidRF, it sounds like you are a perfect candidate to rewrite the article. I thought about it myself, but I am unprepared. DVD 06:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've had a little go. This qualifies me to agree that DavidRF is definitely the right man for the job! :)  DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 08:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh and well done for de-nomming it - hope it works out well now. DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 08:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it looks fine now.  :-)DavidRF (talk) 17:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Advert tag

message: The title to this page should be "Sage Gateshead" not "The Sage Gateshead" as the name of the venue is "Sage Gateshead" without a "The". "The" in this page title is an unnecessary addition, "Sage Gateshead" is a more concise and accurate title. I'd like to start a discussion on this. AF Henrie (talk) 10:36, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
