The article is about a non-notable hotel in Norway. (The article's title is actually spellt wrong - it should read Refsnes - with an extra "s".) I can't find any sources that support the notability of the hotel or the building itself. Online hits are almost all either advertising for the hotel or trivial (blogs, etc).

Comment - hmmm, not sure about notability of hotels, but there's an entry for the hotel here (with the alt. spelling of Refsnes Gods which actually seems to be the more common) which calls it "the most elegant resort in the environs of Oslo", and it also appears that the hotel is sometimes used for international conferences. (see google books link here. So assuming hotels are notable if they get mentioned in travel guides, I guess this one might be notable. Gatoclass (talk) 03:36, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Changing my !vote to Keep. Given that the hotel dates to 1767, I think it would be notable just as an historic building alone. Gatoclass (talk) 04:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per User: Gatoclass. Frommer's, presumably a reliable source, says that it is "the most elegant resort in the environs of Oslo." That by itself should satisfy any notability concerns. --Pink Bull 00:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I moved the article to the more appropriate name, per the above discussion. --Pink Bull 00:39, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In addition to its historic values, it's a notable private art gallery. Three of its Munch holdings were stolen in 2005. Both are now noted in the article and cited to independent sources. Novickas (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
