- Comment - does being Ireland's tallest hotel make it notable by default? Sources I found
- [1] - coverage of sale
- [2] - more coverage of sale in local paper
- [3] - murder that took place there
- [4] - news story about new suite in local paper
- [5] - brief mention in national newspaper
- Not sure that any of that counts as WP:SIGCOV Spiderone 09:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep. (Or redirect). There does, per Spiderone above, seem to be at least a moderate amount of coverage of a type which falls within the bounds of the WP:NBUILDING criteria. (IE: "notable as a result of [..] architectural importance". Where there are otherwise several reliable sources confirming the subject's status as Ireland's tallest hotel. And among the tallest buildings in the state overall.) If there is consensus that we don't need a standalone title to cover the few paras that might convey this information, then a merge/redirect to Dalata Hotel Group#Hotels might be more appropriate. Over outright deletion. (I otherwise don't see that this is as a cut and dried as the nomination suggests. The sources are perhaps not overwhelming. But they're not underwhelming or nonexistent either...) Guliolopez ( talk) 10:33, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep - I'm looking at keeping this article as per my sources above. Okay, it's not going to win an award for most notable hotel of all time but there's enough there Spiderone 11:39, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep WP:Run-of-the-mill is an essay and "Essays have no official status, and do not speak for the Wikipedia community". Andrew🐉( talk) 11:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as per the sources provided by Spiderone. - Hatchens ( talk) 12:06, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NEXIST. This used to be the tallest hotel in Ireland. Received plenty of coverage. WP:SNOWBALL also applies! gidonb ( talk) 14:44, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I understand why the article was nominated - it's not great and arguably violates WP:PROMO. Spiderone's sources aren't great either, but they're just about good enough to show that we can write a neutral encyclopaedia article on the building. I'd like another one or two more good sources myself, though - if notability is a sliding scale of greys, this one could go either way if no other sources exist, which I doubt.
