Mondo Condo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This appears to be a WP:COAT article kicking around since 2006, to promote the concerns of a group of disgruntled union members who call themselves the Members for Democracy and refer to the financial misfortune or misdealings of this nondescript Travelodge "a financial scandal that has been called "the Enron of Canada." -- both wildly inflated, it seems to me. I can't find any WP:RS. Their website points to a series of articles in the Toronto Star, but I can't determine what they may have been in fact about. The article's name is grossly biased as well, as the place is actually called -- by anyone not in the in-universe world of the Members of Democracy -- the Travelodge Yorkdale Hotel. I can't find any WP:RS indicating notability for that either. Am I missing something? If kept, I'd suggest the article must be renamed.

 * I see here that a great deal of material was removed by an editor last summer on the basis that it was "potential libelous." I can't tell if it's libelous or not, but what I do see is a convoluted attempt to piece together legal and business records to attempt some sort of attack. And again, it does not seem to come together as something that would make this Travelodge notable by our definition of the term. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Seems to be a poorly sourced attack page (not that there should ever be a well-sourced attack page).  freshacconci  talk talk  17:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article, in its various edits over the years, seems to have been written either for the benefit of people who already know the story of this building, or for those who are willing to devote the time to read the external links that explain the story of this building. Apparently the idea of actually describing in this Wikipedia article the alleged scandal associated with this building does not appear to have been a priority. (See WP:AUDIENCE.) In any event, it appears that the proper title for this article would be Westmount Condominiums. I would not object to this article being re-created under an appropriate title, with context, and using independent reliable sources, as opposed to using only sources associated with the "Members for Democracy" group. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
