Proposed deletion of The Leading Hotels of the World

I have removed the prod tag you placed on The Leading Hotels of the World. Under Wikipedia policy, an article that has been kept following a deletion discussion – as this one has – cannot be deleted under the deletion process you have tried to use. The only way such an article can be deleted is to open another deletion discussion, and even then the article will only be deleted if consensus is in favor of deletion. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:03, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

IvyLeague - our processes are sometimes arcane to follow. Following your request at deletion review (DRV), the article has been relisted for deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Leading Hotels of the World (2nd nomination). This is since the previous discussion was 4 years ago, and the discussion needs to be more on whether or not it merits inclusion according to our policies, not revisiting whether the close of the old deletion discussion years ago was procedurally correct or not. S Marshall has done all of this for you; it's up to you if you want to chime in there with your view (one which I fully respect, though as you will see there don't completely agree with in this instance.)

Wikipedia is a respected source of facts and events. In October 2008 this article contained details concerning a marketing controversy - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Leading_Hotels_of_the_World&oldid=242426912 (2 October 2008) and in 2009 it contained facts relating to Trademark proceedings and subsequent court rulings - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Leading_Hotels_of_the_World&oldid=296544849 (15 June 2009). The court rulings relating to this company are interesting, in particular the WIPO decision of 2002 http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2002/d2002-0241.html. These facts should not be omitted when writing about this organization. If this organization were listed in any other encyclopedia, details about events in this organization's history would be included. Removing negative facts to present only the pretty side of the company's history is misleading, inaccurate and uses Wikipedia as a marketing tool. Keep the article, but ensure that it is factual and accurate. Ivyleague100 (talk) 18:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
