The Norbreck Castle Hotel[edit]

Not clear cut for speedy, and author would likely contest a prod. Listed here as it seems article was created in good faith. (I abstain from the discussion.) Ian¹³ /t 13:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. The article reads like an advertisement but the hotel itself seems notable enough for an entry. Article does need reworking as per MOS. Justin talk 13:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete reads like an advert and I don't really see what makes it notable enough for niclusion. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added some references. This is the hotel where the Liberal Democrats were founded from the amalgamation of two other parties. --Eastmain (talk) 15:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the references and changes made by Eastmain, I feel this is sufficiently demonstrates notability in a verifiable fashion. RFerreira (talk) 19:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems notable enough, but shouldn't the article be titled Norbreck Castle Hotel? The history section seems to be completely unverifiable from the references provided. Jll (talk) 12:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not convinced about notability. Does the fact that it was the venue for talks that led to the formation of the Liberal Democrats make it notable? It is certainly does not seem to be mentioned on the Liberal Democrats article or feature in their party history websites. Apart from that we have a large, rather unattractive looking hotel in a town with many large unattractive looking hotels. Does this make it notable? Remove the history section (which is unreferenced, and reads as if it was lifted straight from the hotel's brochure) and you are basically left with little but an entry from an hotel directory, which, wikipedia is not. Keep If this is anything to go by it is a notably awful hotel WhaleyTim (talk) 12:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - I have just tidied it up a little. I think Jll is right about Rename. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am the unaccompanied creator of this page, and I agree I need help wording this page as its my first addition to Wikipedia, I agree that this page first translated like a advertisement but with the help of several of you guys you helped convert it to the standard you guys see fit. I have substantiation paperwork that the legend of this hotel is real because I work at the castle and have access to the original documentation. Which is stored in our safe and dates back to 1942, leading to this present day. I have old photos as well which I will upload when I have the backing for this page. -- --Norbreckcastle (talk) 08:16, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
