[edit] Marsh Hotel

Non-notable hotel –– Lid^(Talk) 10:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. 42 Google hits when searching the name with Van Wert - can't see it being an encyclopedic topic on a wide scale. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep -- appears to be a historic hotel associated with George Marsh. Per this article on downtown Van Wert, the hotel was a control station for the Lincoln Highway. The owner, George H. Marsh, apparently was the founder of a foundation that operates an orphanage (now a treatment center) in town, which is now on the National Register of Historic Places. If nothing else, a merge to Van Wert, Ohio might be appropriate. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 15:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I think this was nominated since the article was weak. I have cleaned it up some and it now has a high quality reference for part of the material provided by Elkman. It still needs work. Vegaswikian 06:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Van Wert - does not look notable enough to warrant an article of its own, unless buildings that have survived for a century in Ohio are notable per se. Peterkingiron 17:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• Merge per Peterkingiron. Besides the notability issue, it doesn't look like there's enough to say for the hotel to need an independent article. EALacey 20:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I added some information about the hotel serving as a station for an interurban railroad. --Eastmain 20:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per changes. Historic notable hotel. --Oakshade 15:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
