I do not believe this establishment is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion. One mention in the local rag and a puff piece in USA Today about Boyd Gaming building a riverboat do not add up to significant coverage in secondary sources.

Keep. Obviously a stub, but also obviously meets Notability guidelines. Tons of coverage, including 1, 2, 3, 4 articles in the past week alone. 2005 (talk) 02:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Three of those four articles are about Boyd Gaming, not Blue Chip. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 20:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain more thoroughly how it is notable, 2005? Rin tin tin 1996 (talk) 02:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:ORG. An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. The four articles above, plus the two in the article now are far more than enough. Speedy keep if there ever was one. This isn't a subjective criteria. It lots of notable coverage, whether anybody thinks it is just a "random" business or not. 2005 (talk) 02:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. How is what appears to be a random hotel notable? Rin tin tin 1996 (talk) 02:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Looks like its notability is that it is being sued for non-payment of state taxes, which is not mentioned in the article - but is that WP:NOTNEWS? -- Boing! said Zebedee 04:05, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has enough press coverage to pass WP:Notable, which is what we are discussing -- not if we like this place, casinos in general, or even capitalism itself. Kitfoxxe (talk) 04:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are enough reliable sources out there to meet general notability requirements. Give someone a chance to expand the article. Hazir (talk) 19:20, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article's been around since May. Still, always happy to see someone improve an article.

Luckily, there's no deadline to improve an article. "Hasn't been improved even though the article has been around since May" isn't a valid deletion argument. Rray (talk) 22:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Plenty of reliable sources available to meet requirements. Needing expansion/improvement does not equal needing deletion. Rray (talk) 19:34, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Three out of the four sources cited here are about Boyd Gaming, not the Blue Chip. There's plenty of notability for an article about Boyd Gaming.Elen of the Roads (talk) 20:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All of the articles I looked at (I clicked on all of the links provided by 2005 above and read each article) were about the Blue Chip casino. Rray (talk) 22:13, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
