Shot Tower Inn

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I had prodded this, and after the prod expired (but before the article was deleted) an IP came along, copied the article's content to Shot Tower (Dubuque), and redirected this page there. Since we don't combine two unrelated topics in the same article merely because of a similarity in name, I have deleted the "merged" text in Shot Tower (Dubuque) and am bringing this here as a contested prod.

This article appears to fail WP:COMPANY for lack of substantive treatment in reliable sources. There are a few Google Books hits in travel guides, but these are simple directory-type listings. Many of the 26 Google News hits are behind paywalls, but none seem to constitute significant coverage that could be used to write an article; the ones that are fully visible are, again, of the travel-guide-listing sort. The Google Web hits seem to be mainly in customer-submitted-review sites and WP mirrors. Deor (talk) 14:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
