Hotel Kandahar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOTGUIDE. Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Included references are in my view WP:ROUTINE common hotel listings with no assertion of notability. I found some additional WP:RS but none with significant coverage to establish notability. I tagged the article to allow for proper sources to be found, but the author removed them and asked me to take the issue to AfD instead Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:30, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a notable skiing resort, and Hotel Kandahar is the top listed hotel in the town, and it also came up in a list of hotels in Andorra which seemed notable when compiling the list, plus somebody thought it notable enough to photograph. It would be good to find more on it, but even as it is there is at least a mention and some basic coverage in reliable sources. I'd imagine that there would be significant coverage of it in Andorran newspapers and probably magazines featuring skiiing in Andorra which can't be accessed online. If nothing else can be found on it then a merge into a List of hotels in Andorra with a good summary for each might be the way to go. Personally though, I think having articles like this makes us that more valuable as a resource and should be nurtured as much as possible.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:45, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello, the WP:RS with the brief mention you added in Spanish is also the only one I could find in my WP:BEFORE, If no additional sources with significant coverage are found to justify inclusion, I would vote as you suggest to merge it into a List of hotels in Andorra if this article is created and if it meets WP:GNG.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge: Visitors to the town are likely to search for information on the hotel. There seem to be enough independent sources to justify a stand-alone article. I would also have no problem with a redirect to a section in a list of hotels in Andorra, with that section holding the information. I think technically this AfD should close as keep, then the merge be done afterwards if agreed that the topic is worthy of WP coverage, but is not substantial enough to deserve a full article.

 * All hotels are mentioned in travel guides and most have passing mentions. For this hotel to meet WP:GNG and have it's own independent article, we need to find significant coverage from reliable secondary sources that treat the subject extensively.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge, possibly to El Pas de la Casa, article on the ski resort, though I can't tell if the hotel is part of the resort entity or not. Or, better, merge to a List of hotels in Andorra, though currently that is a red-link.  There is a list of Andorra hotels within big List of hotels, specifically at List of hotels: Countries A, but the apparent formatting practice in that list-system is not to provide detailed coverage.  So a separate proper list of Andorra hotels, allowing for more coverage about each, is needed, i guess.  I see other examples of split-out lists, e.g. link from List of hotels: Countries B to List of hotels in Bangladesh, although that is not a great list-article.  All items in a list should be sort of notable, too, but need not meet Wikipedia notability standard.  Hmm, started one at Draft:List of hotels in Andorra.  Help develop this and/or move it to mainspace, anyone?  I can't move it myself due to an editing restriction.  I think it is already okay as a minimal article. -- do  ncr  am  23:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: There is Draft:List of hotels in Andorra, submitted to AFC. Anyone but me could move that to mainspace and then this AFD could be concluded with Merge.  Or this AFD couldl be concluded with "Merge soon, when possible". -- do  ncr  am  05:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: List of hotels in Andorra now in mainspace. Per Northamerica's comment, this AFD could now be closed with Merge to that. -- do  ncr  am  19:36, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
