 * Keep. Said to be the fourth most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona, discussed in numerous academic and popular books.  Examples:  Article doesn't seem to be especially more promotional than many others about tourist attractions, and can be improved by the usual editorial process.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:43, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. I would have thought that, having taken part in so many deletion discussions, the nominator would be aware of WP:BEFORE by now. How many such timewasting nominations are required before action is taken to prevent them? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:13, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Did you even look at the article? The Banner talk 08:30, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. It has plenty of factual non-promotional content, so the promotional bits can simply be removed leaving an acceptable article on a clearly notable topic. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Then good luck with editing The Banner talk 18:09, 8 June 2016 (UTC) But my experience is that nobody will do anything.
 * I don't operate an edit-on demand service. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve as I'm happening to see this article, it seems to be an actual landmark and there's certainly enough to suggest improving may be best including with some familiar attention. SwisterTwister   talk  06:26, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep and copy edit. Quite notable per available sources about the topic. The one-word "advertising" rationale for deletion is ambiguous and subjective; the entire article does not read as an advertisement. A few sections could use some copy editing to address promotional tone, but WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. North America1000 20:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Strange, you never seem to find advertising. The Banner talk 20:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * While you spend time typing out WP:ADHOM statements that have nothing to do with the topic, I've been improving the article. North America1000 20:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You simply cannot be nominating articles like this for deletion on subjects that are obviously notable and exist on SIXTEEN other language wikipedias.  Tag it as advertising if you want, but there is no end date for the project.  It may not get fixed for 250 years, and that's ok, as long as its notable.

 * Keep, primarily per citations provided by Arxiloxos, the subject appears to meet guidelines for general notability. There issues with advertising and unsourced content may be dealt with through the normal editing process.  Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:04, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
