RIU Hotels

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I would consider prodding this or tagging it A1, but I'd probably get told it wouldn't fit or have the prod removed. As such, it's about a hotel chain, with no proof of notability, and as the article stands, it's just a list on where the hotels are located. Kwsn (Ni!) 03:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This article makes a mention of the RIU Hotels, stating how they have a particularly bad reputation in Jamaica. That's the only Google News Hit, but it seems like they have enough locations to be notable. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 03:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. According to a recent press release from a business partner "Today, RIU Hotels & Resorts has grown into Spain's second largest hotel chain enjoying international prestige with 45,000 beds in 110 hotels in 18 countries, 18,000 employees, and 2.1 million clients per year." Regardless of the quality of that source, a simple Google search proves that the company certainly has hotels in resort areas all over the world and is unquestionably "notable" by its size and presence.  However, the article definitely doesn't need to list every hotel in the chain and needs a major haircut. -- DS1953 talk  04:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I added some information and another source and deleted the list of hotels. For a view of the original article when the AfD began, see this version. -- DS1953 talk 04:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
