Notability of individual hotels, and tables[edit]

Currently there is no support on the notability of individual hotels for listing here, as there are no sources used with scant exception and as most items are currently redlinks. Any hotel having a separate Wikipedia article should be listed, but beyond that there needs to be some standard of list-item notability. I suggest that sources should be allowed to be added for some period, then unsupported items should be removed to this Talk page.

Also in these edits I merged in one formerly separate hotel article, and I put the Canary Islands section into a table which can hold descriptions and footnotes. --do ncr am 23:15, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As Wikipedia is not a business directory, not a travel guide, not a promotional tool and not an index of indiscrimate information, entries in the list should ideally be restricted to the following:
- Entries with blue-linked articles. These must link to a unique article and not just a generic hotel chain article, an article that isn't a hotel at all or any redirect article.
- Entries with red-linked articles. The same can apply for redirected or unlinked entries. These must be added on the pretense that they are notable and worthy of an article (and not already written). They should be referenced with at least one independent secondary source. The official website for the hotel is not sufficient.
- Anything else should be treated as not notable and removed as it won't comply with one or more of the above policies.
- WP:Write the article first is the best practice to use for these stand alone lists.
- It is possible to review removed entries as the page history is still retained, just in case another editor wishes to create an article. Ajf773 (talk) 07:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
