[edit] Alaskan Hotel and Bar

Alaskan Hotel and Bar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I removed a CSD template after a quick Google search, thinking that the hotel in the article was actually the hotel at this site, which would probably be notable for being the first hotel in Juneau, on the National Register, etc. As far as I can tell, it isn't. Other than being 100 years old, I can find no evidence of notability other than mention in an obituary. Smashville 16:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I can't find any evidence that this hotel meets the notability guideline; the article doesn't include any sources, and my google search didn't turn up anything but the travel-directory listings that any hotel would be expected to have. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Sadly, does not appear to pass WP:N and WP:V No more bongos 17:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - as per not satisfactory in complying with notability and sourcing criteria. Rudget _{Contributions} 17:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This stub of an article is more about the town than about the hotel. Plus, someone may want to start an article about that other hotel in Juneau. --Blanchardb 18:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I added two sources... this place was featured on the Food Network, and has a reasonable ammount of news coverage over the years [1] --W.marsh 19:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • On closer inspection, I may have been writing about the other one. Are we sure they're different places? Anything on the NRHP is notable. --W.marsh 19:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
    • My judgment was based on the pictures in the article...they don't look like the same building...the one in the article has flat windows while the one on the website has bay windows. But...might they be affiliated? --Smashville^BONK! 19:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Actually, there is so little in the article, that I don't think anyone would object to you putting a notable subject by the same name... --Smashville^BONK! 19:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
        • That's what I was thinking... just refocus the article on the one that's on the NRHP, has the media coverage, etc. --W.marsh 20:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Per above, I have rewritten. If the other hotel by this name, in Cordova, is notable... then feel free to undo my edits. --W.marsh 20:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

• Per W.marsh's revamp/redo and the fact that the delete votes no longer reference the article in question, I am withdrawing the nom. Please close. --Smashville^BONK! 20:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
