 * Delete Run-of-the mill hotel, lacking any real notability beyond the local level.TH1980 (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - no indication of historic significance Spiderone  10:31, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This probably almost meets WP:GNG already, but I can't quite tell: a couple of the KBTX links are broken, I can't access The Eagle since that website is geoblocked. However, this was the first major hotel capable of handling conventions built in College Station, and while the archives I have access to don't cover the construction of the 17-storey high rise, the hotel received significant coverage during its construction: , noting how the building alone was the reason for a spike in building permit revenue  along with coverage of its sale out of bankruptcy court:  And its construction was even important enough to be blurbed about far away from College Station: . That's just the construction alone, an implosion tends to generate GNG-calibre coverage as well and so I think this is an easy pass. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:04, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom,, and WP:MILL. This was a 17-story chain hotel in a college town. Coverage was local. How is that notable in any way? Bearian (talk) 21:57, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, let's see - the building passes WP:GNG, was the first hotel in town which allowed the town to start hosting conferences, it was the tallest structure in town that wasn't a radio tower (according to Emporis) and it was imploded, which generated a bit of news coverage. I know everyone's saying WP:MILL here, but just being locally notable isn't a reason for deletion - I've finished a couple articles on hotels recently where the only major coverage was local, but the buildings are still important enough to warrant an article. I think this hotel also clearly qualifies - I think everyone is assuming that it's some no-name branded hotel by the side of the road, but it's not.

 * Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources provided by SportingFlyer. There is enough material about the hotel and building's history to pass Notability. Cunard (talk) 10:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep I found the article and topic interesting and well-supported by sources. I am with SportingFlyer on enough notability, and simply think the article adds value to the encyclopedia.--Concertmusic (talk) 20:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
