I suggest deletion of "exclusive" in the first line. See comment at Category talk: Traditional gentlemen's clubs. 45ossington 16:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"the most exclusive gentlemen's club in the US"?

The entry reads "The Brook is generally regarded as the most exclusive gentlemen's club in the United States", but it cites no support for this claim. And upon what objective criteria could they make it? The Brook is neither the oldest gentlemen's club in the US (indeed, it's one of the younger ones), nor is its clubhouse in the most exclusive location, nor is its proposal process the most rigorous, nor are its members the most illustrious, nor does it enjoy reciprocal privileges with the most exclusive clubs in other cities. To cite just one example of a club more deserving of that title: the Pacific-Union Club in San Francisco is decades older, has its clubhouse in a more exclusive location, has more prominent members, has reciprocity with the best clubs worldwide, and requires no fewer than 14 existing member to propose a new candidate. While I'm not proposing the P-U Club for the title of "the most exclusive gentlemen's club in the United States", I describe it to suggest that this claim for The Brook is subjective, untenable and should be removed from the entry.

Well, I gave it seven weeks, but no one came forward with any source(s) or evidence to support the claim, so I removed it. Bricology (talk) 23:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
