This ain't just any hotel. |

The article was tagged as a copyrite violation of http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynehuzzey/2335203134/ The text is very similar. Looking at http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynehuzzey/2335203134 it says that it was uploaded 15 Mar 2008. Going back through the page history to a version of this article prior to that date http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Copley_Plaza&oldid=190125766 (9 Feb 2008) it is an exact duplicate of that page. I think the flickr page copied this article not the other way around. A new name 2008 ( talk) 12:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
I think it is notable, and it seems quite prestigious a hotel. This search should give articles focussed on the hotel, it returns 200 hits: [1] and this search gives nearly 6000 hits at least mentioning it: [2]. Fences& Windows 00:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: This is a case of WP:NOGOODOPTIONS because everyone favors moving the page, while there's a split between "Copley Plaza" and "Fairmont Copley Plaza". However, the majority of editors, citing sources that use the "Fairmont" name, consider that using the current official name is preferable (and the short name may be confusing) so I'm going to call it that way. A follow up move could be filed for "Copley Plaza" or "The Copley Plaza" if desired. ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 23:39, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
