[edit] YHA Wastwater

YHA Wastwater (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/YHA Saltburn, this article has no assertion of notability. —Psychonaut 14:13, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. No notability to be found from the 54 unique Google hits either. Prolog 09:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Weak Keep It is a youth hostel and as such, as much a commercial venture as any Travelodge and we can't have an article each for them, however I would support renaming as an article about the building itself, Wasdale Hall, which, while relatively young for an UK building (built in 1829) is achitecturally distinctive with a striking combination of Neo-Gothic and Neo-Tudor styles...IF someone can show notability for either the history of the building or it's architectural attributes, or, ideally, both. --Zeraeph 16:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Changing my vote because I think I just found a little notability [1]. Whether it is notable ENOUGH is really for the fans of YHA Wastwater (which, being "Wasdale Hall" is presumeably the "Wasdale Youth Hostel" referred to, in the case of the missing French Girl?) to research, not only on Google, but also in the local library and the archives of local papers. Be aware, that without more evidence and details of notability I could change my vote back just as quickly. --Zeraeph 17:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's a Youth Hostel. The fact that a victim stayed there the night before she died doesn't convey notabilty onto the hostel. AndyJones 21:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Any remark of interest can be included on Wast Water page. Youth Hostels in remote areas usually warrant a mention, which is a practice I'm comfortable with, as with remote inns or (non-notable) places of worship--ARAJ 11:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keepThis article is entirely valid. 1) The wikipedian above has stated that it should not be included as it is as much a commercial venture as a Travelodge.

This is not true, it is a registered charity. 2)The hostel (and building in its own right) are both of considerable significance and as such demand a page entry of their own. 158.180.64.10 16:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Fine, so put some of the information on the significance of the hostel and building into the article before this closes as "delete". Otherwise I will soon have to change my own vote back to "delete", because ARAJ is making a lot of sense to me. --Zeraeph 16:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
