[edit] Damenlou Hotel

Damenlou Hotel (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Procedural nom to list separately the various hotels bundled together in an earlier nomination. Rationale for deletion remains insufficient notability and of no encyclopedic value (see WP:NOT#TRAVEL). Pascal.Tesson 19:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete view - this is a small hotel with no notability demonstrated in the article; much of the article being a promo for the hotel. Needs multiple independent reliable sources to be kept. Bridgeplayer 21:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable hotel. Keb25 09:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This hotel is notable due to its location, its name, and its birthplace of a local dish, all of which are obvious in the article (although the later seems a tad over-writtern). Size is not the only determinant of notability.--Huaiwei 13:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - none of these claims can be relied upon, at present, since the article is wholly unsourced and fails WP:V. Where are the multiple, reliable sources attesting to its notability? The dish may be notable but the creation of a single dish hardly makes a hotel notable particularly since there is no sourced link to the dish's creation. Bridgeplayer 22:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment - affirming the nomination, I have cleaned up the article and have removed copyvio material lifted directly from the website and affirming it fails WP:V --Russavia 22:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article needs just a clean-up. —Sengkang 15:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable, birthplace of a popular dish. --Vsion 02:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and admonish nominator in the interests of fighting systemic bias. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 12:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, possibly rename to focus more on the restaurant than the hotel. Kappa 07:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually I think this is an RS, so the hotel is notable all by itself, although the restaurant is more so. [1] Kappa 07:45, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
      • Actually I think this is an RS.... Nope. --Calton | Talk 23:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable due to birthplace of dish, & connection to famous restaurant. Could do with expansion, but notable enough. --Belovedfreak 14:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No relevant sources establishing notability. Agathoclea 20:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Travel guidebooks aren't reliable sources, and there's not even really an attempt to assert notability. {[WP:NOT|WP is not a travel guide or hotel listings service]]. --Calton | Talk 23:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep -- for the nth time, needs cleaning up does not equal delete. ever heard of locus standi? Chensiyuan 03:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
