The Shelby Hotel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is about a former hotel, now operated as a bar and grill. Citations in article are a dead link to a genealogy page, a Facebook page, and the hotel's own website. Google search for ("shelby hotel" nebraska) turns up nothing indicative of notability. The article states that the hotel is in the process of nomination to the National Register of Historic Places; an NRHP listing would confer notability. The statement was inserted in December 2011, so an NRHP nomination should've had time to progress. However, Google searches for ("shelby hotel" nebraska historic) and for ("shelby hotel" nebraska "national register") turn up nothing; searching the Nebraska State Historical Society website for ("shelby hotel") also yields nothing. Absent evidence of notability, this article should be deleted or, if an NRHP nomination is still in the works, userfied until an NRHP nominating form or other source attesting notability becomes available.

 * Delete If the co-ordinates are correct, then Google streetview suggests a fairly undistinguished building with a newly built ground floor entrance. It may be significant that the article actually has almost nothing to say about the building as such, and the claim to notability is an association with a notable individual, and a weak one at that since it is not asserted that there is any connection with the reasons for his notability. Notability is not inherited in that way. --AJHingston (talk) 08:49, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't find any reliable sources discussing the hotel, and the article doesn't say much to convey notability. The nomination forms for recent (mid-September) Nebraska NRHP listings were all written earlier this year, so if a nomination for this property was in the works in December 2011 it was probably either rejected or never got submitted. (No prejudice to recreation if we're missing something and the hotel actually does end up on the NRHP.) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 23:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
