Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Platinum Suites


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. Some possible sources were found, perhaps some time should be given to expand the article with those sources and revisit AfD some time later. At this point, the article nearly qualifies for CSD A7, as its only content is essentially "It's a hotel, it has 24 rooms on 6 floors, and 3 restaurants. It's near the airport." Adding content about why this hotel is notable would likely prevent it from being taken to AfD again in the future. -Scottywong | confess _ 15:32, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Platinum Suites

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Previously deleted article by speedy G11 (unambiguously promotional) on March 1, recreated March 12 (log: ). Re-speedy declined on March 12 because the admin believed it to be overly promotional but salvageable. Significant improvement work has been done on it, seemingly as much as is possible, and it's still overly promotional, although that's not the reason for deletion. It's simply not notable, and fails WP:GNG. The only reliable coverage available (already referenced in the article) are these two:. Neither is about the company itself, but rather about its current expansion and development plans. Although I advocate deletion, I would be open to redirecting this to the parent company's article...if it existed. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 20:41, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see how this is notable, it is just another hotel. So delete based on WP:NOTABILITY and sound a little like self-promotion WP:PROMOTION  Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 23:13, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's still spam, and it's a recently built hotel that has a bit of minor coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 13:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete: This is just another hotel with no notability. Even in Bangladeshi media, the hotel does not have any special significance. --Ragib (talk) 21:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Not so sure. The organization was covered in significant detail by The Daily Star, probably the most reputed newspaper in Bangladesh - one specific article on the organization describing it in considerable detail, a spotlight on the subject, another particular article on announcement of it, one article on Boutique hotel in Bangladesh using Platinum Suite as a major example, another describing it as one of the major hotels in Dhaka, one article covering a restaurant of the hotel in considerable detail, as well as other particular stories like this and this or pictures like this make it quite agreeable to WP:CORPDEPTH. Other newspapers (like Financial Express) has more. It still will need a thorough rewrite. Aditya (talk • contribs) 07:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. All sourcing is either directly promotional or derived from PR material. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk)`
 * Still, it looks good for notability guidelines and traditions (say like, Category:Motels in the United States... yes, it's just another hotel that gets significant mainstream coverage). It requires a total rewrite, but that's not a reason to delete. Aditya (talk • contribs) 17:00, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It does not appear that all sourcing is "directly promotional"; some read as reviews. Also, did you search for any other sources, or is this just a critique of sources currently in the article and/or this discussion? Northamerica1000(talk) 10:11, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:15, 29 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisting comment. Aditya has presented multiple sources that he/she believes establishes this hotel's notability. Some discussion/rebuttal of those sources would be helpful. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Leaning Keep - Per these sources, which do not appear to be derived from press releases, the topic appears to meet WP:GNG. They are all written by newspaper staff reporters:
 * Bangladesh Monitor: Platinum Terrace-open sky garden restaurant with a distinction
 * The Daily Star: Sterling Service
 * The Daily Star: Sheltech opens Tk 25cr hotel in Jan
 * These are culled just from references currently in the article. Concerns about promotional tone in the article can be easily corrected by copy editing. Northamerica1000(talk) 01:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
