Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New York Marriott Marquis
A notable building by a John Portman|notable architect, who invented, or at least popularized the atrium style hotel.  Portman had been trying for years to build one in New York after building similar (but better) hotels around the country, many of which became Renaissance Center|iconic structures.  Portman and his particular style are underappreciated these days, and vulnerable to . One problem with New York is that a building that would be a landmark in any other city is just another 50-story building in New York.  The nominator may not like the building - I don't either - but it is certainly notable.  I'll look through my library/big stack of books for refs - they all seem to be on the bottom of the pile
