  • Comment: Per WP:NBUILD the subject may be notable as a listed item. However, as noted there, it requires WP:SIGCOV in independent sources to demonstrate notability. (Not enough has been added since the previous declinature to overcome the issue.) Eagleash (talk) 13:22, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
"in the United States, places listed on the National Register of Historic Places will inherently meet this standard, as inclusion on that list requires third-party, published documentation of a place's importance, and all NRHP listings, with detailed information on the listed place, are published. Thus, any place listed on the register will inherently have enough sources to meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines." FloridaArmy (talk) 17:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Fails WP:GNG - lacks significant coverage (not mentions in passing) in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Blogsites (such as Wordpress) are not acceptable or reliable sources. Dan arndt (talk) 03:22, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

The Gothic Building is a historic building in Akron, Ohio.[2] It was designed by prominent Akron architect Frank O. Weary and built in 1902.[3] Weary also designed a Carnegie Library (Akron Public Library), county courthouses, and school buildings in Akron and other areas of Ohio, as well as significant buildings in other states. The Colonial Theatre was attached to the Gothic Building.[4] The Gothic Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5][6]

Tax credits for the redevelopment of historic buildings have been used to redevelop it and other historic buildings in downtown Akron by Tony Troppe.[7]
