Welcome to the Wikipedia Holiday Travel Guide, where you can choose a fine resort...oh, wait, Wikipedia is not a holiday travel guide! This slice of tourist spam needs to be tossed out. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete...Wikipedia is not a travel guide. RockManQ (talk) 01:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Article reads like an advertisement for a non-notable resort --Megaboz (talk) 03:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep probably more recognisable to golfers than resortgoers in general, but La Cala is certainly notable. It's by far the biggest in both Costa del Sol and Spain itself, and hosts a number of notable events. Try a Google News search for "La Cala" +golf, there's certainly no shortage of reliable sources, and that's without even resorting to any of the number of magazines that cover golf exclusively.

  • Delete Per what RockManQ said.--Res2216firestar 21:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep Walt Disney World Resort, for example is purely a holiday destination and that is on here I can not see the need to pick on La Cala Resort, certainly the largest of it's kind in Spain. Ecoleetage can not have double standards. There are hotels, airports, Islands, Cruise Ships etc here that have not had a speedy delete tag placed on them, I can not see the need to single this article out. As for notability what are you judging this on. It is purely in the eye of the beholder.--Theoneintraining (talk) 22:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not recognised as a valid argument for keeping an article. And please focus on content and not contributors -- I don't possess "double standards" and I am not the subject of this discussion. Thank you. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In this case I really have to question whether you Googled the subject before listing. Even a cursory glance at the results shows notability well past the point of inclusion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please assume good faith before questioning how someone determines notability -- I never put articles up for deletion without first checking via Google. The search I did focused on the "La Cala Resort" name (I did not include "golf") and what came up was overwhelmingly either a bunch of press releases or coverage where the resort was mentioned only in passing. You can confirm this via [1] and [2]. Thank you. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
