Forbeswood Heights

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Describes a condominium building with restaurants and other commercial establishments on the ground floor. The page was PRODed by User:Tim Song with the concern, "No evidence of notability." PROD was contested by User:ThaddeusB who notes, "Appears to be a notable building (see: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Forbeswood+Heights%22&btnG=Search&um=1&ned=us&hl=en&scoring=a) - article could possibly be merged with city page, but shouldn't be deleted." Of the 23 articles suggested by Google News, however, most appear to be reviews of those ground floor restaurants that mention the building in passing as a location. Three other articles mention the building in passing as examples of recent construction in Fort Bonifacio. None of the articles I read offer non-trivial discussion of the building. (I did not read all 23, as some require pay per view or registration.) Cnilep (talk) 21:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as original prodder. I must have missed it in my watchlist or I'd have AfD'd it by now. I did check Gnews before prodding - though I suppose I probably should have made it clearer in my prodding rationale. Thanks to Cnilep for catching this and confirming my conclusions.

 * Struck delete !vote for now pending further review of the sources provided. Tim Song (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: The sources strike me as a bit press-release-y, especially since they seem to have come from the same publication. If so, they are not usable for WP:N purposes. I remain undecided for now. Tim Song (talk) 17:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose we can smerge the material, even though I still think that the sources are press-release-y.Tim Song (talk) 08:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Lacks verifiable sources asserting that this condo is notable especially since there are tons of other condos in the area which are larger, taller, or constructed earlier. --seav (talk) 15:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge - the building appears to have local notability, as its construction was covered here, here, and here. As noted in the nom, the restaurant in has been covered in several sources.  It also has received numerous mentions in coverage about the local area and undoubtedly has coverage in local sources (which aren't available online as far as I know).  As such, I feel it should be merged into the city's page.
 * An alternative solution would be to create an article for its parent company - Megaworld - which is most certainly notable (over 1000 news stories), despite not yet having a page, and move the material there. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Urban property developer Megaworld Corp. is set to open by June next year a three-level, on-site grand showroom for its six-tower Forbeswood Heights Luxury Garden Residences at the Bonifacio Global City. The showroom, once completed, will have a studio model unit and marketing offices on the third floor, a main showroom with scale models on the second floor and retail shops and a posh reception area at the ground level. The main showroom will also highlight scale models and renderings of Forbes Town Center, a five-hectare mixed-use development of about 16 towers Forbeswood Heights as the first project offering.

Forbeswood Heights, a six-tower residential development of Megaworld Corporation and Bonifacio West Development Corp. in Bonifacio Global City, is 5% complete. Excavation work has been completed while foundation work is ongoing for the Agoho and Cambridge towers, slated for completion by the fourth quarter of 2006. Structural, plumbing, electrical and mechanical works have begun while elevator and architectural works are under way. Forbeswood Heights offers studios to one-bedroom suites overlooking a 5,500-square meter central park.
