[edit] L'Hôtel

Not notable enough for an encyclopedia, even though Oscar Wilde stayed there. Arniep 20:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

• As far as I can tell, the hotel may well be notable, and I think it is wrong to assert otherwise without good arguments. A hotel of that age in a city like Paris is quite likely, for instance, to figure in film or literature. But the article doesn't explain any notability the hotel may have, beyond the fact that Oscar Wilde lived there his last days (it actually seems that he even died at the hotel[1], but "lived his last days" probably works better in marketing). This is not a bad start, but the article doesn't currently say anything that isn't already in the article on Wilde. Weak delete. u p p l a n d 10:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Changing to keep. That Oscar Wilde quote pushes it over the threshold. Let's have whatever Borges wrote about it in there as well. u p p l a n d 19:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, multiple external coverage, passes WP:CORP. Has other famous alumni like Mistinguett and Jorge Luis Borges. Kappa 18:01, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
