- Delete. Based on a spot check of the articles listed here (and why these cities are singled out is anybody's guess), this information is too trivial to include within city articles, I can't fathom why we need a list built around this particular
statistic. The lack of consistent definitions (from the article:
By "city" this may or may not mean metro area, depending on the source. Additionally, the definition of a "hotel" may vary, some sources only include corporate-owned hotels, however the information is consistent within at least one source
) makes it impossible to view these as comparable values, even if it was decided that this metric is important enough to build an article around. Antepenultimate ( talk) 21:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC) - Delete - there are thousands of cities in the world so where is the cut off point? This list has several inconsistencies within itself and is totally unverifiable. Surely different sources will give different figures as it is essentially just an estimated figure anyway? This fails WP:LISTCRUFT on points #1, #4, #6, #8, #11 among others. Also see WP:SALAT. If that's not enough to delete this then I also think that maintenance will be an issue; with new hotels being built everyday, the figures would need to be maintained regularly to account for this.

- Delete list mixing apples and oranges (hotels + short-term flats + hostels, or not) in city limits or the whole island - If Bali gets whole island treatment, I would venture to guess that Britain or Honshu (and perhaps Taiwan or Oahu or Long Island) has more hotel rooms - and why wouldn't we divide NYC into its various islands, and well...not comparative nor useful.

- Agreed. Delete per WP:NOTSTATS as well as WP:NOTESAL, too, I daresay. There are a number of accepted parameters by which to group and rank cities but # of hotel rooms is not a notable metric. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 19:23, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
