Vegas Wedding Chapel

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm not persuaded up-front that this is the spam the speedy tag was claiming. An AfD investigation would be warranted given the finishing (unreferenced) sentences. (PS. I've had about nine degrees of trouble trying to make this nom work, so would the first kind soul to see it check that everything is standing upright?) -Splash - tk 22:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Check Everything looks ok, it's listed properly everywhere it needs to be. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 22:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete no assertion of notability, no evidence of independent sources, fails WP:CORP. Guy (Help!) 23:28, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as written. Only assertion of notability (Hilton wedding) is unsourced. Currently only promotional. &mdash; User: (talk) 17:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The only assertion of notability is incidental and unreferenced. Unless references can be found (unfortunately Googling is a little frustrating with a name like this) that indicate something worth saying the article should go. -- Siobhan Hansa 22:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Las Vegas is full of wedding chapels (God knows why), so what makes this one special? --Calton | Talk 11:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. I never heard of it, but now it has some references.  It won a local best of and has been covered in several national magazines.  So the votes above about the event not being referenced should be reconsidered since the Hilton event was clearly covered by multiple sources.  Vegaswikian 23:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Daniel Bryant  00:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC) (Note: Relisting to clarify the latest keep !vote, as on its' own would probably force a no-consensus close.)


 * Delete. Even the best of Vegas wedding chapels is not wiki-worthy in my opinion.  semper fictilis 03:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree with Vegaswikian --St.daniel 13:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; violates WP:CORP --Mhking 14:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I fail to see how it fails WP:CORP. I imagine a long list of celebrity weddings could be obtained for this company. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 16:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; the fact that a Hilton got hitched at this chapel doesn't really make it notable to me. The references are minimal, and the "best of" win appears to be a reader's choice opt-in poll. Tony Fox (arf!) 04:51, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Doesn't even come close to WP:N--as per Tony above, sources do not notability make. Esp. tabloid sources. The crux is this: this place did not exist before Paris Hilton. It will not exist after Paris Hilton. And if every venue in which the celebs du nanosecond did their "I sortas" were WP:N, the center would not hold. If someone REALLY thinks this is worth keeping, then it should be shortened to the footnote in Paris's life that it is, or, better still, be treated as per the guidelines for !WP:N schools:
 * "Wikipedia:Notability (schools) recommends that individual articles on schools where there are no non-trivial published works from sources other than the school itself be merged into articles on the towns or regions where schools are located, or into articles on the school districts, education authorities, or other umbrella school organizations as appropriate."
 * And be merged into Las Vegas. >.> I need a drink. ;) Wysdom 05:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you can get drinks here. A merge into Las Vegas, Nevada would not be advisable since that article is rather large.  Maybe a Rename to Wedding chapels in Las Vegas to allow for many of these to be listed might be a good way to build consensus.  There are numerous wedding chapels in town so putting them in one article would avoid the need to discuss each one.  The single article would also allow for a history of wedding chapels to develop which is a notable topic. Vegaswikian 19:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the other deletes. Acalamari 18:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per TTT. Lemonsawdust 23:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I Googled "vegas wedding chapel" +celebrity -paris -hilton... a ton of stuff about a Las Vegas wedding chapel, lots of travel promotions, etc... but no lists of celebs who've hitched at this particular one. I mean, I only went through the first three pages of hits before my eyes crossed and I keeled over, but...
 * Well, for what it's worth, if someone can find a reliable source (preferably sources) that cites this establishment as having hosted the weddings of other (named) notables, I'd change my vote... with the provision that the substantiating info is added, sourced, and the article overall Wikified.
