Notability edit
@Melcous: The Seven Arts Building meets WP:NBUILDING guidelines because of the following significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources:
- Kent Seavey's Carmel A History in Architecture page 76-77
- Alissandra Dramov's Historic Buildings of Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea pages 62, 73-74
- Alissandra Dramov's Past & Present Carmel-by-the-Sea pages 58, 78
- Lisa Crawford Watson's Legendary Locals of Carmel-by-the-Sea pages 80, 90
Please remember "sources vary in quality and depth of coverage." per WP:GNG. There is no requirement for the volume of information. The above multiple sources demonstrate historic and architectural importance. This is a building that I would like to add to my top notable buildings to keep.

- Whether you'd like to add this article to your personal "top buildings to keep" list has no bearing on notability; you have no entitlement to keep any articles and Wikipedia notability guidelines apply fairly to all articles. Also, please see WP:ARCADIA, where this publisher has been discussed by the broader community. As alluded to by your comment above, articles you have created are filled with it, yet it is essentially an indiscriminate source which carries almost no weight, and counts little towards notability, if at all. Please find better sources. Left guide (talk) 21:37, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- The WP:ARCADIA link was moved into an archive (Archive 321). The truth is that Wikipedia has an entire article about Arcadia Publishing. There is no mention in this article that it is an unreliable source. It is not listed on WP:RSP. In addition, the name "Arcadia Publishing" is used in 12,863 Wikipedia results.
- Arcadia is an independent publisher who contacts local editors to write photo essays on local and regional history about their communities, sports, campuses, work, transportation, etc. Also, many editors including myself have used Arcadia books as references for their articles; see Special:Whatlinkshere/Arcadia_Publishing.
