This article on an abandoned building in Eloy, Arizona appears to fail WP:NBUILDING. The building does not appear to have formal recognition of any cultural importance on the level that would justify its article. It also does not appear to pass WP:SIGCOV. I'd propose that the article be deleted. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 06:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I've looked for RS. The Pinal County Historical Society & Museum has nothing on it. – S. Rich (talk) 19:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@NemesisAT: – Sorry, no change in my !vote. Unless we get beyond news from 2019 and find some real historical interest in the property it remains non-notable per WP standards. – S. Rich (talk) 02:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above. It is a dusty, unused building. Fails WP:N. Ode+Joy (talk) 21:32, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've added additional references and an image to the article, now passes WP:GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but the material you added about no equipment inside, discussions of demolition, etc. seems to bring it further into the a WP:Junk territory. Ode+Joy (talk) 10:40, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to re-read that essay you cited. Unlike you, I have actually worked to improve this article. If you think the sources I've added are misleading or questionable, state why instead of linking a seemingly irrelevant essay. NemesisAT (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think user MB just answered that below. I really don't know why time should be spent on this building which may be torn down before we finish this discussion. There is much else to do. I must move on. Ode+Joy (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Local interest only. A couple of articles about the city discussing whether or not to tear it down. Not much turned up about it for the prior 70 years since it opened. Does not pass WP:GNG. MB 00:26, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
