Pikes Hotel, Ibiza

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is another in a series of non-notable hotel articles from the same editor. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Orquidea,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Es_Viva,_Ibiza, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Fenicia_Prestige,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hostal_Yebisah,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu for other recent examples. As with those, I am unable to find significant reliable source coverage to establish notability. Appears to fail WP:GNG. Only references I can find are already included about the murder of Tony Pike and those are not directly about the hotel. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:47, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Pike’s Hotel it is very notable for its place in history of Hedonism on the island i.e. Freddie Mercury’s legendry Party and the filming of a Wham Video there! There are plenty of references to this hotel in the two books referenced

The White Island, The Colourful History of the Original Fantasy Island, Ibiza and Not Part of the Package:A year in Ibiza. Both these book go into detail about the subject matter. What relevance has the deletion of the above listed hotels have to this one you will have to ask that editor. stavros1 ♣ 16:15, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not inherited. Freddy Mercury and Wham are notable. The hotel they rented for a party / video is not. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 19:41, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only claim to notability is that there was a music video filmed there, which is "inherited notability" at best. A large part of the article is about the murder of the hotel's owner in another country. No claim of independent notability. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 19:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable hotel Plenty of reliable sources.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:58, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Dr. Blofeld: Which of those listings turning up in google search have you found to have more than passing mentions of the hotel that would amount to significant reliable source coverage? The bulk of them are just tour books that list dozens of non-notable hotels. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:23, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mainstream travel guides are accepted as reliable sources for hotel articles on wikipedia. When you've written articles like Hotel Ritz Paris like I have, I'm well versed in how to research hotel articles. Aside from the many travel books these all constitute as reliable sources a lot of which contains significant coverage of the hotel:♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:55, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sources that Blofeld have dug up, added to the ones in the article, show that this is clearly a notable hotel. The sources give a complete account of the hotel origins, construction and history, and it is backdrop to a lot of star-struck gossip. The article could use an overhaul, but that is a separate issue.

Keep What a hell hole. And probably past its prime. Looks are intriguing. But under WP:GNG and WP:Notable, its well documented WP:RS treatment establishes its notability, at least historically. This is not transitory, and does not diminish with fashion or trends. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:43, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I get a horrible vibe from the place too, heaven knows what went on there over the years, pretty sure the original finca owners would be horrified. The thought of Grace Jones screaming during sex with Pike, her lover of three months is enough to make anybody shudder! But it is unquestionably notable.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:21, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article doesn't fail Wikipedia:GNG, the article has many independent referencesDemax (talk) 13:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
