Damenlou Hotel

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nom to list separately the various hotels bundled together in an earlier nomination. Rationale for deletion remains insufficient notability and of no encyclopedic value (see WP:NOT). Pascal.Tesson 19:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete view - this is a small hotel with no notability demonstrated in the article; much of the article being a promo for the hotel. Needs multiple independent reliable sources to be kept. Bridgeplayer 21:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable hotel. Keb25 09:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This hotel is notable due to its location, its name, and its birthplace of a local dish, all of which are obvious in the article (although the later seems a tad over-writtern). Size is not the only determinant of notability.--Huaiwei 13:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - none of these claims can be relied upon, at present, since the article is wholly unsourced and fails WP:V. Where are the multiple, reliable sources attesting to its notability? The dish may be notable but the creation of a single dish hardly makes a hotel notable particularly since there is no sourced link to the dish's creation. Bridgeplayer 22:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - affirming the nomination, I have cleaned up the article and have removed copyvio material lifted directly from the website and affirming it fails WP:V --Russavia 22:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, article needs just a clean-up. &mdash;Sengkang 15:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable, birthplace of a popular dish. --Vsion 02:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and admonish nominator in the interests of fighting systemic bias. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 12:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly rename to focus more on the restaurant than the hotel. Kappa 07:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I think this is an RS, so the hotel is notable all by itself, although the restaurant is more so. Kappa 07:45, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I think this is an RS.... Nope. --Calton | Talk 23:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable due to birthplace of dish, & connection to famous restaurant. Could do with expansion, but notable enough. -- Beloved freak  14:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No relevant sources establishing notability. Agathoclea 20:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Travel guidebooks aren't reliable sources, and there's not even really an attempt to assert notability. {[WP:NOT|WP is not a travel guide or hotel listings service]]. --Calton | Talk 23:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep -- for the nth time, needs cleaning up does not equal delete. ever heard of locus standi? Chensiyuan 03:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
