The Lift at Juniper Street

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

Contested prod and speedy G11. Spammy article about a parking garage under construction in Philadelphia. Some of the promotional material has been removed, however most of the remaining material belongs in Multi-storey car park#Automated parking without mention of this particular structure. Delete.

Comment While this is indeed spammy-- I almost want to drive to Philadelphia just so I can park my car there-- and while I don't think that this particular parking garage is notable (though it may be if it's introducing a European innovation to North America)-- it appears that we do not have an article about automated parking. I can see all sorts of possibilities of converting this article over to something encyclopedic by shifting the focus from the company to the type of product.

Delete. Or persuade me that this run-of-the-mill garage is something special. I see another one of these "lifts" being built across the square... it's just a grey box. East of Borschov 19:51, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Some info needs to be in a yet-to-be-created article on automated parking. Most of this is advertising that needs to go away. Carrite (talk) 22:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In fact I think even in its present, somewhat despammed, version it is close to speedy deletion. (The original version was totally blatant spam. It was created by an editor all of whose editing has been spam for the business which built this.) No independent sources for this business are given. (Some of the sources do not mention The Lift at Juniper Street, and others are not independent.) The idea of merging into an article which doesn't exist makes little sense. Anyone who thinks we should have such an article is free to create one, and then merge material from this article, but as long as there isn't one we can't merge this into it. If such an article is created then we can reconsider the question. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:28, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
