Merge

@Otr500: I hope you don't mind, I've reverted your merge by adding a few more sources. Seems there's info to add about the building's construction, interior and exterior design, hotel management, other historical claims, etc. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:45, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@Another Believer: I don't mind. There are some, especially those getting paid, that think all subjects warrant a standalone article. It is good advertisement. There are also some that think, "sometimes, a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article". Expanding a parent article from start is sometimes considered less appealing (let's make Wikipedia bigger with one million stubs or start-class articles) than creating a new article. The main subject (Canopy by Hilton) is Hilton's twelfth brand with approximately thirty properties under development". Hilton reportedly has 6,215 properties and I can assure anyone I can find industry-related sources (Business Insider, Travel Weekly, Hospitality Net, etc...) to create a stub or start-class article on most, if not all, the locations.
Except for advertising, that runs the world, there is no actual good reason this location cannot be covered under the parent article. I do suppose that as Wikipedia ages we need to start as many articles as we can to show it is still growing. I also suppose that if an editor can get paid for creating a big portion of these "6,215 properties" that is not a bad thing as long as others support it. It can be noted that The 50,000 Challenge does include "Improve/create any article", and expanding would qualify as "improving".
I don't think this article is a discrete subject (#3) to warrant stand-alone status. If the parent article was too large I could see a split but that is not the case.
I will objectively look around and may suggest a formal merge to see if the general consensus has changed because possibly there can be a separate entry for every concept. If that is the case I may join certain editors (but as a volunteer) and jump on the bandwagon. Alright, probably not. Have a nice day, -- Otr500 (talk) 11:05, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Wasn't paid to write the article, so that's not an issue, but seems someone else has nominated the article for deletion so we'll see what happens! Thanks, ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
