[edit] St. George Hotel

This article is of a NN hostel, probably WP:CORP vio. Moreover it reads more like a travel guide (move to Wikitravel?). P199 04:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Withdraw proposed deletion - recent serious rewrite made it a (somewhat) informative article. -- P199 13:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - actually seems more like a university dorm than hostel. The building might be slightly interesting (Beatles stayed there) but and an article about drunk students, very not notable. --MarsRover 05:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. NN dorm. Writer might request a userfy, to which I would not object. Note to closing admin: do not forget to delete the redirect created by the page move. youngamerican (talk) 12:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per recent cleanup showing notability. youngamerican (talk) 12:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn. --Terence Ong 14:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - Needs to be tidied considerably, of course, but should not be deleted. It is notable as the second-largest hostel for Victoria University. Drunken activity isn't important, but the basic facts should be presented for reference. 130.195.86.36 22:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't sound notable to me. Press coverage? Otherwise delete. Fagstein 01:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep One of Wellington's most prominent buildings (I'd put it in the top 10, or at the very least the top 20). Long history as the hotel of choice for visiting dignitaries. I've expanded and edited the article to underline the notability a bit more. Should possibly be moved to Hotel St. George, Wellington, though. (I'm also adding this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/New Zealand). Grutness...wha? 07:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• weak keep. It was significant in its heyday, not so much now however. --Midnighttonight 08:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
