This is an article about a business alliance between a number of small,questionably-notable hotel companies. The alliance itself has no substantive press coverage - plenty of passing mentions in articles about chefs, and lots and lots of press releases - but nothing that attests to its notability in its own right. The article itself is mostly written in management-speak and is overly promotional, but if that was all that was wrong, I'd be fixing it instead of nominating it for deletion. Delete as nominator.

• Delete although I wouldn't go so far as to call the participating hotels 'questionably-notable', promotions like loyalty programs and similar tend not to be article subjects and I don't see this as any exception. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: overtly promotional with negligible independent sources. Note as well that the author is the company's marketing director. – Athaenara ✉ 01:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Non-notable. All I could find at Gnews was a few press releases. Some of the hotel chains may be notable; the Alliance is not. --MelanieN (talk) 01:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
