 * Your point being?--TM 14:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That the subject of the article was not clear from either the article title nor the nomination, and as such folks browsing the deletion discussions may not know whether this subject is of interest to them or not. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge the the UC article. No indication there are multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage needed to show notability for a standalone article. Edison (talk) 16:03, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added another reference to the article. There is independent coverage of this building.  I suggest that User:Namiba engage in a comprehensive discussion of university dorm articles at WikiProject Universities rather than PRODing and redirecting such articles without consensus.

 * Weak keep - It is mentioned in an architectural book, which seems independent. Coverage is still pretty minimal. PDCook (talk) 13:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No claim to notability, let alone evidence of it. If it get a mention in an architectural book, give it a mention in the article on the university. Anything else is undue prominence. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Overall, I think this one is notable enough. The architecture book cited in the article devotes a few paragraphs to this structure. There seems to be some more info in this book on Julius Rosenwald, and the AIA Guide to Chicago briefly highlights the building. In addition, this Chicago Tribune article seems to discuss the planning for the Burton-Judson Courts. It doesn't use that name to describe the halls, but all the other facts fit (Zantzinger et al are described as the architects; the structure was to be built between Ellis and Greenwood Avenues, south of the Midway; Julius Rosenwald was involved, etc).

 * Keep I think this one is a keeper, it might be the oldest UofC dorm, and it certainly has a lot of mentions in travel and architecture guides. Speciate (talk) 05:05, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Eli Sentman Eli Sentman doesn't meet Wikipedia's Notability Standard. That name should be removed from the list of people who have lived in the dorm. Speciate (talk) 09:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.143.64 (talk)
