HEI Hospitality

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

The original nomination for speedy deletion was turned down as "not quite" - see history for precise wording. Nonetheless this is a blatant advert. The references are to its own website (one link is valid, I agree) and to some form of "list my hotel" club that is not reliable as a source. Sufficient time has elapsed form the originator's talk page response stating that much press is available, but it is not forthcoming as a reference.

 * Keep - it is a little bit spammy. However, we should have an article on this company. They operate 30 hotels under five-star brand names. - Richard Cavell (talk) 09:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not notable enough, and the issue boxes at the top make up 60% of the whole article. TopGearFreak   Talk  13:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - “…the nation's fastest growing private owner/operators of hotel real estate” as outlined in the first Google News cite from a independent - verifiable - creditable 3rd party source, as shown here . In addition to several dozen other references as noted by the above link.  Believe it satisfies our requirements for inclusion under Notability for companies.  Thanks.

 * If your link wasn't to a reprint of the company's press release (see full text here), I'd almost share in your enthusiasm. 160.39.213.152 (talk) 02:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe there were 52 other articles shown in that link - None of them were to your liking? ShoesssS Talk 02:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Eight of the first 10 hits are reprints of press releases. The other two (full text ), are from an actual trade publication. But those are just bulletins of transaction descriptions submitted to the publication by various companies (sort of like wedding announcements). No good. OK, how about you check the next 10 hits. DGG can take numbers 21-30, and hey before you know it maybe we'll find something. 160.39.213.152 (talk) 02:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A major company with major hotels, and adequate sourcing to show notability.DGG (talk) 05:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Which of the two non-independent sources currently in the article do you consider adequate? 160.39.213.152 (talk) 02:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Another case of something notable masquerading as a shitty article.  If kept, probably needs renaming to HEI Hotels & Resorts.  Vegaswikian (talk) 06:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
