The Read House Hotel, Chattanooga, TN[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article on this "historic" hotel appears to lack evidence of realworld notability in terms of being supported by multiple, reliable, independent sources that cover it in non-trivial manner. Current article appears to be a promotional piece for the hotel, probably written by someone who works there but has not self-identified as having a COI.

Keep: I cannot believe the nominator originally put this up for speedy deletion. A regular prod would have been completely fine, but it was apparent from the first edit that the creator was a making a claim for notability, which it indeed seems to meet.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:50, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ETA: Its on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Hamilton County, Tennessee, I added an infobox with link.[1]. After AFD is closed let's move to something like The Read House.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:12, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have added a handful of {{cite book}}s, and there's plenty more. Subject meets WP:GEOFEAT. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 01:50, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
