The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This hotel is not notable and fails WP:NBUILD. It is not notable just because someone was arrested there. Wikiwriter700 (talk) 23:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. I agree with nom.  HighKing++ 10:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Lean keep. I just try to search some information about the building and I found–other than a bunch of reviews–these interesting articles:

 * I think someone who might have access to the old news, like Washington Post articles or anything there (D.C.) that related to this subject can help to expand it. There are some interesting stories there. Samuelsp15 (talk) 12:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Here are some other sources that might can be considered to support the building's notability, besides that arrest of the D.C. Mayor.

 * I think that the unique thing about this hotel–beside that arrest–is its impact on the surrounding community, especially about the hotel's influence on the gentrification of its neighbourhood. I am also looking forward to expand the article (at least a little bit) if this discussion resulted in keep. Samuelsp15 (talk) 15:00, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * After reconsidering this for a while, I decided that this article can be deleted. The reason is the subject received a lack of sufficient coverage as per sources above, which only gave a few statements about the hotel (for at least now, 2020), except for those two academic papers (which unfortunately cited some unreliable primary sources), a press release from the PR Newswire (which gave some coverage about the hotel, but this still needs better source(s) to support the claim), and a coverage by JohnnyJet.com that reported the renovation of the hotel (good coverage, but may need additional reliable source(s) to clarify this if possible). This article may be recreated by providing more information–other than the arrest of the D.C. mayor–that received significant coverage from reliable sources, which can support the notability of the building (hotel). Any merge or redirect are also recommended. Samuelsp15 (talk) 15:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete . I think a whole bunch of the hotels in Westin Hotels & Resorts along with this one should be merged into one. A re-direct is cheap. It can always be made later. Graywalls (talk) 07:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
