Parkside student residence

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

Article about a university student residence, not properly referenced as passing Wikipedia's notability criteria for buildings. The notability claim here is essentially that the building exists, and the referencing is not cutting it in terms of getting it over WP:GNG -- it's referenced far, far too heavily to primary sources and blogs that aren't support for notability at all, such as transit schedules and directory entries and the self-published website of the neighbourhood residents' association and the student media of the university that operates the residence. And even after all of that is discounted, what's left for genuine GNG-worthy reliable and independent third party sourcing is still about half tangential verification that the company that redesigned this former hotel into a student residence also designed other buildings that have nothing whatsoever to do with this one. What's left for genuinely reliable source third party coverage about this building is just one magazine article and one newspaper column, which isn't enough coverage to get this over GNG all by itself if all the rest of the footnotes are primary or bloggy or irrelevant.

 * Delete per above. Also, this has red flags of non-notability, such as undue weight to the developer and builder rather than why it's notable. It also would fail my standards for hotels. Bearian (talk) 14:24, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
