InterContinental Hong Kong

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

In violation of WP:NOT, with no assertion of why it is notable. Russavia 18:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - A major luxury hotel in an internationally important economic city is in itself an assertion of notability. Having the largest ballroom in Hong Kong adds to the notability.  --Oakshade 21:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment find me one reference about the ballroom and I'll believe you.Garrie 21:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Being a 5 star hotel is not an inclusion criteria. Meeting WP:N or WP:CORP are inclusion criteria and this article in it's current form does neither.Garrie 21:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Ga. Vegaswikian 22:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * keep, nontrivial independent coverage here and here . Not to mention 100's of google new hits. Thanks the the spam nomination and spam delete votes without lifting a finger to actually check for notability. Kappa 08:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The sources you have provided are travel guides. Do these in all reality make an entity notable? --Russavia 13:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. Kappa 17:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Most certainly not. Just about every hotel on the planet is covered in multiple travel guides. It is in fact what we consider to be trivial coverage and in no way does it establish any sort of notability. These hotel reviews have no value when comes the time to construct a thorough article. Travel guides, contrary to scholarly work, have no responsibility for objectivity nor are they particularly reliable when it comes to information that doesn't relate to the price of a dbl room.

 * The Economist thinks "The InterContinental is without doubt the best place to stay in Kowloon" and The Independent thinks it's one of the "Five Best Shopping Hotels in the world". Your assertion that "just about every hotel in the world" gets this kind of coverage is nonsensical. Kappa 01:23, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per my above comment: no indication that there is sufficient significant third-party coverage to build a proper encyclopedic article. Pascal.Tesson 19:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
