The article does not establish notability (and I would argue it's not notable), but anyway the Equinox Complex appears to be defunct: the article Swissôtel The Stamford does not link to it, the external link is an archive, and the corporate website [1] doesn't mention it.

- Which is why I am kind of done with this site and stopped contributing years ago. It is annoying trying to establish notability to people who live halfway around the planet who just could not be bothered to do a simple Google search and plaster "non notable" to anything they know nothing about. Never mind that it is a famous outlet in Singapore well known for its location and that classic photograph of downtown Singapore where most people take from its windows. I did not know that wikipedia deletes articles of establishments when they close (just did 2 years ago soon after massive bad press over a food poisoning case), so go right ahead if under-developed articles like this offends you.Huaiwei (talk) 21:29, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose not non-notable. Equinox had a massive food poisoning case where 51 diners cam down with gastroenteritis symptoms. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/equinox-swissotel-food-poisoning-hygiene-status-downgraded-10202902 like what Huaiwei says, this article is just underdeveloped. A possible page move to "SKAI (restaurant)" might be in order instead with the content restructured appropriately, as the location is taken over by a new brand, but with most of the furnishing, layout intact, and a tweak to the menu. https://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/food/getting-a-high-at-skai https://rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com/2019/02/21/skai-singapore/. robertsky (talk) 23:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The only thing it seems notable for is a food poisoning out break. Which I have zero problem with. Except that keeping the article just for that goes against Wikipedia's single news worthy event rule. Making every restaurant that had news coverage of a food poisoning incident worthy of an article on that alone would be a ridiculous standard and might encourage places to do shady crap to get Wikipedia articles. I'd be fine with there being a mention of the company in the article for SKAI (restaurant), but that doesn't warrant keeping the article now just so it might, but probably won't be, merged later. Also, the article is clearly promotional in tone and without the promotional content there wouldn't really be much of an article. Except maybe "people got sick from eating there." --Adamant1 (talk) 21:28, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
