Talk:DoubleTree

Tags
Ok yet another tag with no explaination behind it. I almost want to go through and simply remove all tags that are placed with absolutely no reason given... but that would be presumptious. explicate please. Syzergy 03:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to request a disambiguation here
The original useage was as a part of a wagon or other horse or mule-drawn wagon (or plow or whatever) wherein the doubletree was the piece closest to the wagon (etc.) on the tongue, with singletrees attached to the doubletree, and then the animals attached by way of the traces of the harnesses to the singletrees. This setup not only made horse-powered travel possible for the opening of the American West (important enough for consideration I should think) but is still in use wherever teams of horses are used either for pleasure, exhibition, or commerce. Wikipedia has several photo references under "wagon" and "horse harness" and others. While it is a somewhat obsolete technology, it is hardly extinct, and it seems unfortunate to let someone enter it as merely an ad for a hotel chain.

 * As of now, there are no mentions of the hitch so there is probably no need for a dab hatnote yet. In any case, this is likely to be a dictdef and on wictionary. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio
Most of the text from the "Brands" section is copied almost word for word from here. I've removed most of the info for now, but I believe that it could be worked back in while respecting the copyright. --Confiteordeo (talk) 08:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

This is certainly very advertisement-like as its headline says. It is sickly sweet and oozes the corporate line without contradiction. As I came to this link via an article on abuse of 'working' women, it would seem to me that the advertising 'gloss' is overdone here and therefore fails to be truthful and honest. But nothing I can do about it as I don't inhabit places like this! ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Comhar (talk • contribs) 10:24, 21 March 2012

Move?
I think this issue should be revisited. Hilton has rebranded several of its brands with auxiliary wording since the move decision was made. Two of Hilton's other brands, Homewood Suites (by Hilton) and Home2 Suites (by Hilton) already appear with the "by Hilton" wording on Wikipedia. Seems to me that there should be a consistent naming convention, so if we want to keep DoubleTree as the page name, then someone should update Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites accordingly.

 * move to official trademarked name of brand Funandtrvl (talk) 23:09, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Official names aren't always the best title for articles, and I have doubts that this is really a WP:COMMONNAME. See also MOS:TM. --BDD (talk) 23:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)0
 * Ditto. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:52, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I doubt that the hotel chain's guests say "I'm staying at The DoubleTree by Hilton". 168.12.253.66 (talk) 13:22, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose: The suggested title is cumbersome and not the WP:COMMONNAME. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:15, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Suspected copyvio
This dates from February 2006. The likely source is http://doubletree.hilton.com/, but archive.org does not appear to have archived that url. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:12, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you explain the issue? This article appears to have had several major rewrites since then and looks totally different? Vegaswikian (talk) 20:31, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Double Tree Property in Seattle, Washington
I thought there was a DoubleTree hotel in Seattle Washington, i.e. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Seattle Airport, 18740 International Bolevard (Seattle, Washington), however, this hotel does not appear on the "Notable properties" list. I am reticent about putting it on, as I know so little about this hotel chain. However, perhaps it exclusion is worth re-examining by someone who is more familiar with the topic, and consideration put to including it on the list.SMargan (talk) 09:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I decided to make the entry in the end, even though I know so little about this hotel chain, as it was supported by a reasonable 'inline citation' and I needed to reference this hotel in another Wikipedia article ("Crypticon") that I have been working on (as it is an event hosted in the convention centre of that hotel). Consider all this when reviewing this addition and whether it was made in error and needs deletion, or whether it is a valuable addition and therefore should be retained in this "DoubleTree" Wikipedia article.SMargan (talk) 11:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
