Keepseems quite notable per WP:NEXIST policy. Many reliable sources exist - yet they are not in the article. They await an ambitious editor. In any event our policy does not call for delete based on the nominator's reasoning. Looks like one that can easily be improved. Lightburst (talk) 15:28, 9 November 2019 (UTC) - Delete - not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to show it passes ]
- Thanks WP:NBUILD criteria. I also submitted to ARS so please check back soon to see if your opinion stands after a cleanup. Lightburst (talk) 16:12, 9 November 2019 (UTC)]
- Thanks
- Merge and redirect to Wikipedia:BEFORE would have been good, as there appears to other refs, and as one contributor mentioned likely enoough for GNG.Djflem (talk) 13:19, 10 November 2019 (UTC)]
- HEY Wikipedia:HEY, the article has been improved and should be re-reviewed.Djflem (talk) 12:53, 11 November 2019 (UTC)]
- I appreciate you trying to turn this into an article, but I'm still a strong delete, though I think at least some of this information can be up-merged to Dubai Marina. I ended up doing a full source review after a very bad experience with the first source as you'll see below, and there's not a single notability-granting source currently in the article:
- 1) Architect's website, apparently - I was directed to a browser-hijack webpage, so cannot confirm, but that's the reason why I ended up doing the full source review
- 2) Does not mention Marina Quays
- 3) I didn't see Marina Quays mentioned, but it's a scroll-thru-the-photos style article which I think we typically significantly downweight or exclude for notability purposes?
- 4) One mention of "Marina Quays," but it's not clear it's discussing the development
- 5) This is a real estate website
- 6) The "Sales and Leasing expert" mentioned the development's name and nothing
- 7&11) Emporis is a building database, not used for notability
- 8) Appears to be the official website of the Dubai Marina, Primary
- 9) Skyscraper Center is a building database
- 10) Flatreviews.com is an apartments aggregator
- I"m happy the article is improved, but it's still not yet notable, so I think an upmerge is the best way to go. SportingFlyer T·C 13:14, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: These are exactly the kind of references one could expect to find unless we are talking about an internationally known building like the Empire State building. Thanks for the hard work Djflem! NBUILD this area and Marina Quays has
social, economic importance
Additionally the architecture feature of the cantilevered building, extending 20m over the Dubai Marina waterway is notable. A merge is not a terrible idea, my only concern is that the Dubai Marina (target for merge) will likely be a bit long soon. Many of the notable topic headings have not been fleshed out or linked as of yet. Construction continues. Lightburst (talk) 15:47, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Merge Sources are pretty routine real estate content that don't appear to establish notability as any more than generic tall(ish) buildings people live in. They're luxury but can be covered in the main article with their lookalike neighbors. Reywas92Talk 20:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Merge The entire article could easily merge over to Dubai_Marina#Marina_Quays. Dream Focus 22:10, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Still Delete (or Merge) WP:GNG. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 00:05, 12 November 2019 (UTC)]
- Merge to Dubai Marina. There's not enough independent sources to shows why it should be notable singly. صدیق صبري (talk) 09:27, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment looks like we are headed for a merge and I will concur. Perhaps someone can put the merge in motion before a full delete. Lightburst (talk) 14:27, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
