This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it.

Information to be added under Awards section: The hotel was the recipient of the Urban Land Institute's 2017-2018 Global Awards for Excellence. According to the judges, the hotel won for "its stunning red facade that is filled with greenery. The tower stands out among Singapore's concrete, steel, and glass buildings".

Explanation of issue: Listing a previously unmentioned award for the building

Hi Edvarcl. This article already contains several accolades for Oasia and I'm concerned that adding more could be excessively promotional. Is there any strong reason for including this particular award in addition to the others? Best, Altamel (talk) 04:17, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Altamel: Thank you for your point. It makes complete sense if the awards are frivolous. In this case, I would venture the inclusion of this award is a fair representation of the notability of this hotel's design. It is also a factual statement with attributions. I would say non-inclusion might seem that other awards are worth more than the ULI recognition. Please let me know what you think. Edvarcl (talk) 06:43, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

notability

moved from article page to talkpage This building’s notability is established, in part, because it is the winner of the Best Tall Building in the World Award in 2018 by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a major award recognizing the most important buildings in the world.

Information to be added under Awards section: The hotel was the recipient of the Design of the Year 2018 award conferred by The President*s Design Award (P*DA), Singapore’s highest honour for designers and designs across all disciplines. It recognises the achievements of an extraordinary group of people making a difference to the lives of Singaporeans and the global community through excellent design. According to the jury, "we commend the architects for making a bold statement by reinventing the typology of mixed-use towers in the city and creating a biophilic environment, where nature and urban development can coexist harmoniously."

@Edvarcl: implemented the first part. The second part seems puffery/promotional to me. I would like to request of you that if possible, to create a Wikipedia page for The President*s Design Award (P*DA) since it is a national award. – robertsky (talk) 08:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information to be edited under design section:

Original: The intent of the design is for the fully-grown in building to look like a bouquet with a green stem

Suggested: The intent of the design is to mimic a bouquet with a green stem once the creepers on the building's facade are fully-grown

Explanation of issue: Improve readability.
