Brumby Hall
A college dorm at the University of Georgia, yet another place to warehouse students. That's it. Was Prod'ed, but tag removed with the comment, "Since this is one of the largest dorms on the UGA campus, I imagine it will be expanded as it plays an important role on campus." I prefer actual notability to imagined futures, myself. Calton | Talk 04:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, nn, WP is not a crystal ball etc. Tychocat 05:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per Tychocat. Sheesh.  It's a farkin' dorm.  Every college has them.  They do nothing but house students.  Ravenswing 08:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedent at Articles for deletion/Prince George’s Park Residences (2nd nomination). Kimchi.sg 10:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Isn't it about time someone put together WP:DORM or WP:BUILDING criteria?  Unless a dorm is the largest in the nation, oldest in the nation, the site of some nationally well known newsworthy/historical event, or of some sort of historical architectural interest, dorms really are not suitible for individual articles.  I think in the last year or so I've only seen 1 dorm article be kept.--Isotope23 16:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Studentcruft. -- GWO
 * Keep - as per my original comment - lots of folks want to delete dorms, but there are two categories for them (Category:University and college dormitories and Category:Residence halls) with lots of stubs and lots of dorms that do nothing but hold students.--Roswell native 22:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, excellent. List of future AfD candidates!  Thank you! Ravenswing 21:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * As long as the dorm haters are consistent, more power to 'em. Out of curiosity, why do dorms elicit such energetic/joyful deletion? For comparison, there are tons of articles about roads/hwys/etc. - same concept applies in my mind (i.e. just a piece of insignificant asphalt) but those seem to grow unabated.--Roswell native 22:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * lots of stubs and lots of dorms that do nothing but hold students. Boy, talk about making your oppositional case.
 * "dorm haters", huh? Yep, you got us, the Cabal of Haters of Dorms, dedicated to wiping out the evil that are dorms from the face of Wikipedia, waking up each day and plotting new tactics in our War on Dorms. Myself, I've vowed eternal vengeance on dorms ever since that day that dorm shot my dog. Look at them! Laughing at us with their bad architecture, cramped living condidtions, and inedible food! They shall not win, they shall not triumph, not so long as any member of the Cabal of Haters of Dorms draws breath, this I vow!
 * short version: Lighten up, Francis. --Calton | Talk 01:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * comment Regardless of my vilification as a "dorm hater" and regardless of my actual emotional attachment (or lack thereof) to dorms, it still remains nn, WP is not crystal ball, etc.  Tychocat 02:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
