History of the Astor House Hotel (Shanghai) 1858-1900

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is completely redundant to Astor House Hotel (Shanghai), which itself is already mostly redundant. The amount of excessive detail and trivia borders on the ridiculous for that main article, and there is nothing worth saving here. This isn't a walled garden, but it's a garden alright--see Articles for deletion/List of guests and residents of the Astor House Hotel (Shanghai), concerning a 40k splitoff from the main article, and our current "History" article is simply copied from that main article (in comparison, see this version from the day before the creation of the "History" article.

 * Either keep or merge to Astor House Hotel (Shanghai). I find it hard to believe that an artile on the botel needs to be distinct from one on  its history.  I am slightly surprised that the article exists, but we have many on British buildings; so why not?  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
