Discount Hotels
Rather random article... nothing especially notable about the concept, just the musings of the creator. Doesn't really fit in as an encyclopædia article. Eurosong 01:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC) The preceeding unsigned comment was left by user Jluc at 14:50 on 30 January 2006.
 * Abstain. Yes, it's rather random, but I see no reason to delete this. With a little cleanup, and the removal of the external links, it could become a nice article. Tagged. SYCTHOS talk  02:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete This seems to be a reasonable article, but its more an advice column than an encyclopedia entry. --Bugturd | Talk 02:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Cleanup &mdash; Rather pooly written but subject seems interesting and is good information on the "behind the scenes" business model of these types of companies. &mdash;akghetto talk 02:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Not encyclopedic.--ragesoss 02:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Consumer advice rather than an encyclopedia article. Capitalistroadster 02:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a descriptive article (there's nothing tangible to describe), but rather a personal analysis of an indeterminate phenomenon.  More specific information could be useful as part of the individual companies' articles.  As is, the page would fit well at Everything2. Superm401 - Talk 02:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep the article has merit and is informative. I would definitely keep it as revised.  Links seem approriate for referential purposes, but needs to be monitored for potential spamming abuse.
 * Comment - The article may be informative, but it smacks of original research. This article does not reference another known and published source, but rather serves as consumer advice in its own right. Whether the advice is good or bad, it is not suitable to be considered as an article for an eyclopædia. Eurosong 16:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not for original research WP:NOR.Obina 23:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Question from Author don't the link references serve as prima facia evidence of verifiable content, since the veracity of the statements can be confirmed from the content of the link referals. I also added authoritative links from experts to help address the concerns raised by Eurosong. Thanks
 * Delete as per no original research. --Ter e nce Ong (恭喜发财) 05:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Smerge to a subsection of Hotel, which doesn't currently include any information at all about rates. -Colin Kimbrell 19:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, appears to be original research. Stifle 23:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep/Smerge/Cleanup I don't think the article should be deleted. I think that it could be cleaned up/smerged.  As it is I don't think it is stand alone article but I think it is legitimate subject matter with outside references.  Hdstubbs 03:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any reason why this article should be deleted. There are tons of direct links to other commercial links all over the site. At least this one has information attached to it. I think it can be merged with "Hotels".  lkolukisa 07:16, 1 February 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lkolukisa (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a travel guide and is not a place for original research.  —Cleared as filed. 13:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
