The Churchill Hotel edit
- ... that the rooms in The Churchill Hotel feature modern elements, but also elements from when the hotel was built in 1906?

Hook reads like an advertisement. Article reads like an advertisement. No indication of article notability based on sourcing or the article text. Sourcing again to sites with commercial interests in getting you booked. Most of the article is sourced to the hotel itself. Why is this reliable for the 6,000 painting fact? --LauraHale (talk) 12:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
On the QPQ the review was very cursory, without stating what had been checked. Even if the article is great you should make the statements about the article newness, size, plagiarism, neutrality etc and say if the Hook is suitable. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Saying 'Good article!' is my way of simply saying 'good to go'. If required I will review another, but I had checked for all of them criteria you listed. ⇒TAP 12:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing that, I am looking for you to actually say that you checked! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:19, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that the The Churchill Hotel is a former apartment block built in 1906, before being renovated into a hotel?
⇒TAP 12:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I like alt1 better than the original Hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:19, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... " that the The Churchill Hotel contains the Chartwell Grill restaurant which is named after Winston Churchill's Chartwell Grill estate?"♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- alt2 is interesting and even better than alt1. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:19, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sourcing problems not addressed because I do not believe http://www.hotelscombined.co.uk/Hotel/The_Churchill_Hotel_Washington_DC.htm http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/district-of-columbia/washington-dc/review-44182.html http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/usa/washington-dc-r1976757/the-churchill-hotel-q1189460/ http://www.1stwashingtondchotels.com/hotels/Churchill.htm to be reliable. POV issues still exist in the article. Article does not make notability clear. What makes these sources reliable? If this article was at AfD, what reasons would be used to keep it? --LauraHale (talk) 13:21, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Alt2 does not appear to be reliably sourced. What makes the hotel booking site reliable? --LauraHale (talk)
- I've gone through and removed all the references and materials referenced to hotel booking sites as these appear unreliable. Removed some language that appeared NPOV problem. This leaves the article too short, with only two sources. --LauraHale (talk) 22:15, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have posted more references on the talk page, but it needs a writer to turn this into text that can count for a DYK. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Subsequent edits since Thine Antique Pen's nomination of this article, have reduced the article to two sentences.
