  • Delete non-notable hotel group Mayalld (talk) 15:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - As per this, Thon Hotels is one of the largest hotel chains in Norway. Other searches in google revealed the same thing. Definitely notable -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 16:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep oddly enough I wrote the article on this chain's owner after someone claimed Wikipedia's English-bias would never allow an article on a guy whose claim to importance was being the richest man in Norway. It's stuck around. At any rate, this chain seems notable as a part of Thon's wealth and because it's the third-largest hotel chain in Norway. Might not seem like a claim of importance, but think of the bias issue... would we delete an article on Best Western because it was "only" #3 in America? --W.marsh 17:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. The article needs work, but I counted 54 properties in three countries, and that's plenty notable for me, regardless of who owns the chain. PKT (talk) 18:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs some work, but subject appears notable enough. --DAJF (talk) 00:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above, seems to be a fairly large chain with locations in Norway and two other countries. Article should be tagged for references. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The notion that this is a non-notable hotel group is just plain absurd. RFerreira 08:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
