[edit] Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns

Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

In violation of WP:NOT#TRAVEL, with no referenced assertions of why it is notable aside from winning an employment award. Russavia 19:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - article establishes notability. Luke! 02:12, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

It does?!? You mean because it "received an award for Best Tourism Education and Training Provider at the 2006 Tropical North Queensland Tourism Awards"? With all due respect, that award is completely meaningless. The article does not establish any sort of notability.

That is your point of view only. Best employer awards are considered to be notable and well respected distinctions in some industries. Your point of view could be said of other industry-specific awards bestowed on other industry organizations. Luke! 06:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Industry awards can be relevant, but this seems a very local one. DGG (talk) 18:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Google News [1] and Google News Archives [2] gets plenty of results. An APEC Trade Ministers Meeting was held there recently. Capitalistroadster 02:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

You should not look at the number of hits but their quality. There is little of substance in any of these articles. How does holding a routine APEC meeting (note: meeting, not summit) make the hotel a topic of interest for an encyclopedia? Holding business meetings is what business hotels do.

• Delete A simple line in the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts will do. Wikipedia is not a travel guide and it isn't the Yellow pages. Pascal.Tesson 03:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
