Notability

I believe this is notable because it was a major nightclub in Sydney, Australia, during WW2, run by the American Red Cross. It was a part of the Australian-American effort to raise morale for African American troops in Australia. The fact that it doesn't yet have an article on Wikipedia is indicative of the fact that Australia is a Wikipedian backwater if not a billabong. Australians dominate the WW2 article, but they do not edit their own country's war effort articles as much. There are abundant reliable sources, including a book published in the USA which I have not yet put my hands on. Give me and other editors a chance to fix this article using the sources available. If we fail, then delete it, but give us a chance to make this orphan have many fathers. Jack Upland (talk) 04:14, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elder H. Russell of the American Red Cross managed the Club, but I can't find anything about him online.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:40, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Merge to Durham Hall, Surry Hills. Sorry, I didn't realise there was already an article on the Sydney building which mentions the club.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:24, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged the information to that article, this article can be a redirect. I suggest the redirect page be renamed the [[Booker T. Washington Service Club (Sydney).--Jack Upland (talk) 00:49, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
