Howe Hall

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. University residence built in the 1960's. Article makes no claim to notability and offers no reliable sources to back up the no claims. Nuttah68 18:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The largest residence hall of a university with 15,000 students is indeed notable. Nardman1 19:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, though I don't agree that all large residence halls are inherently notable – Qxz 21:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This isn't notable.  If it were, then would all buildings on all college campuses be notable?  It does not seem to me that that is the case. -SocratesJedi | Talk 23:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no obvious notability. Big university or not, it's just a dorm. --Dhartung | Talk 23:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with the university article. If it were architecturally significant, or if some historic event happened there, it would merit its own article. Noroton 01:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/delete with Dalhousie University article. I tried looking up news articles that mention Howe Hall, finding approximately 20 articles from the Halifax Daily News.  However, these articles tend to be trivial mentions like police looking for a flasher seen outside Howe Hall.  Nothing notable enough that this residence needs an article beyond mention in the main university article. --Aude (talk) 16:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
