The result was keep. Closing this as keep due to consensus amongst the participants. I feel that a third re-list would not generate further discussion. (non-admin closure) st170e^talk 01:06, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No proof this hotel is notable. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:23, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I added two three references regarding its history as well as the regional and economic importance. These sources were easily available and I hope the nominator will follow WP:BEFORE next time. I would expect that an article on a "major entertainment complex" in a Western country that lacked inline citations would be expanded, not nominated for deletion. We should be aware of Wikipedia's systematic bias.--TM 18:28, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep LexisNexis search reveals a few hits but NewsBank which has more African content has over 600 hits (when "golf" is excluded, there are 200). Took me a while to get through all of those, and the vast majority are marginal mentions, but notability is clear: for example, this is where the current king's coronation was announced to the press, it was a key integrated resort during Apartheid (as opposed to the notorious 'ain't gonna play Sun City' about its cousin hotel), and this is the hotel where international organizations and conferences meet at when they are in the country. Keep. AbstractIllusions (talk) 22:00, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
