(is this where I talk??)I don't know what is up but this is a real building complex and was a large part of Spokane's history and is of relevence to Spokane's future. As a cab driver from 1990 to 2004 I was around The Ridpath on a daily basis. will try to edit to appease whoever is upset.
- Do you have sources about the hotel itself? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Really? Without even looking past the sources in the article, this building clearly meets GNG. [1][2][3][4] are all substantial, independent coverage. Saying these articles are only "about" the proposed redevelopment is misleading; there is plenty of coverage of the hotel's history as well as the current situation and the redevelopment plans. Keep in mind that per WP:GNG "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Camerafiend (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Significant coverage is also more then just getting articles in the local newspaper. And the article still fails WP:GNG, as fails to make clear why the hotel is notable. It is not exceptionally big, nor high, nor old. And the whole section about the redevelopment, is plain WP:CRYSTAL. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per Camerafiend and the sources available demonstrating very significant coverage. Agree the nom's comments are misleading.--Oakshade (talk) 15:47, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Aha, the classic trick. If you don't have proper arguments, just attack the messenger. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Strong Keep per available sources that quite easily establish notability. ~dee(talk?) 13:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
