Cabin in Go Home Bay

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a private residential home, not properly referenced as passing Wikipedia's notability criteria for buildings. The strongest notability claim here is that the architect won an award from the provincial architecture trade organization, referenced only to the organization's own self-published content rather than any evidence that it's an award whose presentation receives WP:GNG-worthy media coverage for the purposes of being able to make its winners notable for winning it. Otherwise, the article amounts to "house that exists", and the footnotes aren't establishing that it's been a subject of significant GNG-worthy coverage in real media: out of twelve footnotes, just one represents a genuinely reliable source writing about the house in an analytical fashion, while the article is otherwise "referenced" to a mix of blogs, the architect's own self-penned writing, directory entries and primary sources that tangentially support the existence of Go Home Bay, green roofs, stack ventilation, thermal mass, solar shading, sustainable technology evaluation and The Group of Seven without verifying anything whatsoever about this house's specific relationship to those things. And even the one legitimate source doesn't actually establish that "Cabin in Go Home Bay" is actually the house's name -- it just describes the house as a cabin located at Go Home Bay, not as a building with the proper name "Cabin in Go Home Bay". This just isn't how you establish an individual residential home as notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 20:47, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per above nom. Yet another fake notable habitation as found by . Again, this has red flags of non-notability, such as undue weight to the developer and builder rather than why it's notable. It also would fail my standards for hotels. This appears to be a run of the mill Air B and B type of place. Bearian (talk) 14:27, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
