The result was delete. I am only deleting the article originally listed in the AfD as there is consensus that it does not meet criteria for lists on Wikipedia. There seems to be a consensus that List of hotels in Lagos is a better-quality article, so for now, I'm leaving that one alone, with WP:NPASR in effect.

List of hotels in Port Harcourt

Doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability with barely any list entries having their own articles (whose notability is also questionable). WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:NOTDIR Ajf773 ( talk) 07:01, 16 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons:

• Comment. List of hotels in Lagos seems to be an appropriate navigational list since it has multiple bluelinked hotels with their own articles that suggest individual notability. At most, these could be merged back into List of hotels in Nigeria, but not deleted. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 22:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I am considering nominating that article for deletion as well, pending the outcome of these two articles AfD's. Ajf773 ( talk) 21:34, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment. @ Ajf773: List of hotels in Lagos should be left out of this AFD discussion because all entries without articles have been removed from the list. It is now at par with other "hotels in city" related lists. Eruditescholar ( talk) 10:03, 17 November 2016 (UTC) reply

We are discussing notability for lists here. Explain to us how it passes WP:LISTN. Ajf773 ( talk) 10:19, 17 November 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:LIST. Almost all of these would be red links. This is not a major tourist destination, nor would any business people stay in Port Harcourt, except for local interests or those in extraction industries. Just because Lagos is a major city for hotels does not infer that so is Port Harcourt. We are not a web host for the Nigerian hospitality industry. If necessary, redirect to Nigerian hotel advertising scam. Bearian ( talk) 20:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment @ Bearian: Your view of seeing this article as a scam is ridiculous. WP:GOODFAITH should apply here. — Oluwa2Chainz »» ( talk to me) 07:11, 19 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Good faith applies if a good faith effort has been made. I don't see any effort to find significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. I just see walls of text. I've travelled to 20 countries, and stayed in dozens of hotels and hostels around the world. I'm on record for editing hundreds of articles about subjects and places the global south; just see my user pages. I can't assume good faith when I see a list that is such a mess and is littered with red links, about a city that is justifiably notorious for its Nigerian prince scams and street crime. Please, give me three good reasons to change my mind. To clarify, for the record, I would keep the list of hotels in Lagos. Bearian ( talk) 18:02, 19 November 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:NOTDIR. Charles ( talk) 10:42, 19 November 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete List of hotels in Port Harcourt per Bearian and Charlesdrakew.-- Rpclod ( talk) 21:37, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I have no opinion regarding List of hotels in Lagos and agree that should be a separate AfD.-- Rpclod ( talk) 18:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete Port Harcourt - per nom; the Lagos one probably needs to be done in a separate AfD to avoid confusion; they're two very different articles in terms of quality and notability claims Spiderone 19:49, 28 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • What's the confusion? Both articles are similar in nature and nominated for the exact same reasons. Ajf773 ( talk) 23:21, 28 November 2016 (UTC) reply

It could be argued as being navigational. I would personally say weak delete for Lagos as it's not inherently notable and I can't find any evidence of LISTN or GNG. It is, however, different to the Harcourt list because the Harcourt list only has one notable hotel whereas Lagos at least just lists notable hotels. Spiderone 19:07, 29 November 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment This should be done on two different templates as persons might want to vote keep for one and delete for the other Mahveotm ( talk) 18:48, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Two templates are not required. These two were bundled into one AFD because they are both similar in purpose and nominated for the exact same reasons. Ajf773 ( talk) 17:53, 4 December 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep I vote to keep the article about Lagos and delete or improve tremendously the article about Port Harcourt. Mahveotm ( talk) 18:49, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply
