 * Delete. Definitely non-notable. NPOV issues in this article as well. Ajf773 (talk) 19:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I believe that this article meets the criteria for establishing notability. Together with the awards, I'm leaning towards a Weak Keep which would become Keep if one more reference can be found. -- HighKing ++ 21:04, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It is just a passing reference, and the award isnt notable either, they hold competition for like once a month. Its like during diwali, monsoon, Ramzaan, summer and so on. Then there are too many categories as well. Not a big deal if such awards are won. — usernamekiran (talk)  21:48, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmmm ... I disagree that it is only a passing reference - the article talks about a book launch for the "Times Good Food Guide" which this Hotel features in, written by an independent third party, and is therefore considered a good source and a good reference for establishing notability. Also, consider that the Hotel is mentioned in high a number of book and tourist guides - some of which do not meet the criteria for establishing notability, but a lot of others do. -- HighKing ++ 12:32, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * erm... It is their job to keep mentioning hotels. There are hundreds of hotels mentioned in this way, doesnt mean all of them are notable and should have a standalone article in an encyclopaedia. On a different note, are you in Ireland right now? — usernamekiran (talk)  12:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If you can frame your objection with reference to a policy or guideline, I'll be better able to respond. The way it is currently phrased, it is simply your opinion. For example, are (some of) the books (shown in the search result above) in some way "sponsored" by the companies mentioned? Are lonely planet guides and books of that ilk not regarded as reliable secondary sources for some reasons? And yes, based in Ireland. -- HighKing ++ 15:37, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * yes, it is sort my personal opinion, but it is also the essence of wikipedia guidelines. I am not sure how to point at some particular guidelines. And no, I didnt mean it that way, i didnt mean it was paid review. My point was, it is what they do, write about hotels. So obviously, they will include many hotels. It does not necessarily make the hotels notable. Also, there are a few different hotels by the same name, like this one. The mentioned address is differen from our hotel of Medina circle, Charminar (aka Old City). Maybe we can create a new article like "Hotels in Hyderabad", and redirect this to there. There are a few other hotels with article on wikipedia, which are stubs and might get deleted because of the notability issue. It would be a good idea to consolidate all of them in one article. I am a hibernophile. :-D — usernamekiran (talk)   17:29, 29 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Wikipedia is not a travel brochure. I don't see encyclopedic relevance here; such material can be just as successfully housed on the hotel's web site. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:44, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
