Just deleted two bars entered into the system recently that had no discernable connection to books - no events listed, and their websites indicated an emphasis at both locations on sports.

<feigned relief>(Oh, good, you mean way non-book locations. I thought this was about things like museum shops and the like, that do often sell books.)</feigned relief>

You know, I have no idea how I'm supposed to take that sarcasm. :p

Sorry if my topic title was vague, but how does one handle such a delicate subject without pointing a finger directly at a particular user?

(It was only by accident I noticed the second bar, anyway.)

EDIT:

FYI, I noticed a "Sunny's" listed in the system. Though this is also a bar, it has a regular reading series.

(But I did change the name and add the web URL while I was at the entry.)

I don't see a book connection with this venue (festival of one day?), but I don't want to erase someone's work without making sure I'm not missing a connection. Opinions, anyone?

I was debating about that too.

Take 5 appears to be an actual venue in Budapest, where film is being shown. But it looks as though this has been entered as an advertisement for the event, rather than as an actual LT local venue.

The more I look at this, the more I'm inclined to think that it should be deleted, particularly because the events at the venue don't seem to be book-related, but music-related.

Delete it. Delete both events at the same location, because neither is book-related.
