Merge
As a result of Articles for deletion/List of Massachusetts Institute of Technology undergraduate dormitories I have merged the majority of content into this article. I removed somewhere over 10,000 bytes of absolute crap at the original article before moving (see here) but in my opinion its still way overdetailed in parts. Pinging some AfD participants, if anyone wants to trim any more go right ahead. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 03:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please remember that the outcome of the AfD was to have a slimmed down merged article, not to replicate the lengthy sprawl of the original list. Please be selective in the information you are adding, this article shouldn't be a detailed history of every single building, it is an overview of Housing at MIT, which happens to include a brief list of buildings. I spent 6 hours yesterday removing excess content. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 21:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Understood. I agree that this article should be concise, and the original list needed a lot of editing. I've also been trying to clean up and organize a bit of stuff on this article. BXu99 (talk) 22:46, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Photos needed
At present, the exterior photos in the article are devoid of any people, which is appropriate for an architectural focus on the building themselves. However, it would also be helpful to have some pictures of building interiors, and also some students involved in everyday activities or special events. The absence of any photos of people in the sections on dorm culture, design goals, and dining options is especially uncanny. Also, the descriptions of disbanded dorms lack any photos to illustrate some of the activities described. Somebody must have snapshots they could contribute to the article.
