Storage condo

Technically contested PROD; another editor restored it, but the user had actually contested it. So I figured I'd be a good sport and bring it here.

The PROD reasoning was "Unreferenced, fails WP:NEO and appears to simply be a sales term for a specific type of self storage". This hasn't changed. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 22:25, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to self storage. It's just one of many ways to purchase storage space, but isn't separately notable. --Dhartung | Talk 05:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are a few thousands of hits on google[1][2] and several dozen reliably sourced news articles[3][4], most of which report that storage condos are being on the assumption the reader knows, built rather than describing what a storage condo is. It's not a neologism for something else - it is what the word suggests, a condominium-ized storage location with the set-up of condos: individual ownership, owner associations, deeds, common areas, etc. That differs from most self-storage, which is merely rented, and from simply buying a storage building, which is a stand-alone property that is not a condominium. As hinted at in the condominium article (Condominium#Non-residential condominiums, to which I just linked this article), condominiums that are not for housing have distinct issues that come up and are not simply a different flavor of residential condominiums. As a sourced notable phenomenon that is distinct from the subject of any other article I suggest we simply improve this one by sourcing and expanding it adequately.
