I nearly laughed aloud after I read through this article, after noting that an "advert" tag had been placed on it. Apparently, the person who placed the tag missed the oh-so-flattering (sarcasm) paragraphs about how the condominium developers went to jail and the building was managed by the FDIC for nearly a decade. What a great advert!! LOL. PLease read the whole article before placing a 'designation' atop it. (People seem overly designation happy these days.)
This exemplifies one of the main problems with Wikipedia: sourced and cited 'positive' information -- for example, that Presidents stayed at the Kimball; or that WBZ, the nation's first radio station, was headquartered at the Kimball -- are facts that are sourced and cited. They are not adverts; merely historical information that could be perceived positively.
It is also a fact that this building became part of a very troubled condominium development during the 1980s. Fact, which could perceived negatively.
Adverts contain exaggerations or falsehoods. Facts, however, are not adverts. If an article is written with sourced facts that happen to be positive, that does not an "advert" make. 76.119.66.131 ( talk)
I suggest that this one person do a bit of research on this well-known building before recommending wholesale deletion of the article. Indeed, why not improve it? Wholesale deletion of a building that is on the National Registry? On the building that housed the United States' first-ever commercial radio station? On the building that became the Sheraton companies headquarters for a time?
Surely, there are better articles to recommend for deletion than this. This was Springfield's most famous hotel for nearly 70 years. Apparently, you're not from New England..?
Also, based on what do you deem this article to be an advert? There are facts, both positive and negative, reported regarding the building. Is there not enough criticism for you..? It's an historic hotel -- what criticism do you want? The troubled condominium development was mentioned and briefly expounded upon... Personally, I do not understand your fixation with this article. 76.119.66.131 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:52, 19 September 2011 (UTC).
Personally, I suggest that if the same critic continues to find the tone of this article advert-like, that he/she changes it to his/her liking rather than ask for the wholesale deletion of an article on a well-known, landmark hotel. The latter option seems immoderate considering that the former is an option. 76.119.66.131 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC).
