List of largest hotels in Europe

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to be original research. Links mostly reference the official hotel website. We already have List of largest hotels and I don't think the notability for a continental list is quite there. Ajf773 (talk) 09:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep At least for this list most of it wouldn't be on the main largest hotel list, which is limited to hotels with >3,000 rooms, and there's no real easy way to ascertain a hotel room count without the hotel group websites, as rooms can often be mothballed and be undercounted from municipal authorities and the like. Both use that sourcing and there's no issue as-is with either.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Articles by continent are not usually seen as violating WP:CROSSCAT.

 * WP:CROSSCAT is not the reason for deletion in this case. It's a case of both notability and original research. Ajf773 (talk) 09:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment - I think we need to find a consensus. Is it an arbitrary size that "large" is 3,000 or more rooms? Bearian (talk) 17:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete, agree with nom that NLIST is failed, as none of the sources in the article, nor any I could find in a search, make this grouping. The topic of "largest hotels" is too niche to get multiple articles, unlike e.g. largest cities. Mach61 (talk) 03:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources. The subject passes Notability, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." I will show below that "autobiographies" has been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources". Sources   The article notes: Of the total hotels in Europe, here are the top 5 largest. The list is based on the number of rooms. The Izmailovo Hotel in Russia (5,000 rooms) Barkhatnye Sezony Sportivny Kvartal in Russia (4,688 rooms)</li> <li>The Cosmos Hotel in Russia (1777 rooms)</li> <li>The Royal National Hotel in England (1630 rooms)</li> <li>The Gothia Towers in Sweden (1200 rooms)</li></ol> </li> <li> According to this page from the publisherInternet Archive, Hospitality Management is a Dutch trade magazine for the hotel industry that is published eight times a year. </li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow list of largest hotels in Europe to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
