Requested change: Update for ULI award

Based on instructions from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Request_edit

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at D. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

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. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

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]
