Annual event of local interest. Article is an unreferenced, out-of-date list that makes no claim to notability. Madg2011 (talk) 00:06, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The event is notable, and the article does appear to be referenced. It does need to be updated though. It's a bit difficult though, as so many buildings participate and change every year. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:06, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Earl Andrew. The article is referenced. The event is as notable as the events described on Wikipedia's other "Doors Open ..." pages, and the act of making a Wikipedia page for something is in itself a de facto claim to that thing's notability. --Rob Kelk 19:42, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, agree with above that nominator was naughty to state "Article is an unreferenced..." as it clearly wasn't, the references that were/are listed in the article do not, however, appear to be independent, being from participating organisations/Ottawa sources, what is needed is some regional/national sources, i was unable to find any with a superquick gsearch, hopefully other editors will be able to find some.

  • Keep -per WP:GNG. Per refs. BabbaQ (talk) 22:12, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep lots more open sources available at gNews [1] for page improvement. Doors Open Days are a thing; we have pages for a number of cities. Available sourcing to meet WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:33, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
