John XXIII College (ANU)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article on a non-notable residence hall. It's been around for a couple of years, long enough to collect some reliable sources, but it's got none--and here's why: there are no sources. Drmies (talk) 02:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Australian National University. Woogee (talk) 03:01, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That seems like a good solution--I should have thought of that. If you're feeling bold, please go ahead. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 03:29, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Woogee. Can't help but feel this SHOULD be notable - speaking as a Canberran, it's a pretty iconic part of our most iconic university - but that might just be because I had friends living there during the late 90s.  Despite thorough searches in the Canberra Times and ACT historical sites I'm unable to find significant coverage for it.  - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Australian National University. Could always be expanded upon and branched out back into its own independent article at a later date, if enough source coverage in secondary sources is found such that WP:NOTE could be adequately satisfied. -- Cirt (talk) 13:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Australian National University, with the rider that the other ANU college pages receive the same treatment. Fenner Hall, for example, is hardly any more noteworthy than John XXIII. 203.173.11.227 (talk) 06:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, let's discuss that separately. Fenner Hall I'm reasonably sure I could save, if it came to AfD. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:30, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, but if the article gets deleted and then reinstated without the content relating to sexual harrassment (which is, I suspect, the true reason for the suggested deletion), I will take it upon myself to re-insert the offending passage. Truth will out! 130.56.71.50 (talk) 03:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Feel free. But the problem you'd be facing is that (a) it's a passing event of no lasting significance and thereby fails WP:EVENT and WP:NOT, and (b) you'd have a hard time convincing me that your primary source, the student newspaper Woroni, is a reliable source with a reputation of journalistic integrity.  If you'd like to discuss those matters further I'm happy to elaborate on the article's talk page or on my talk page. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think a 'culture of sexual harassment' is an item of real interest. The specific article in Woroni cites its sources clearly, and the events cited have not been denied by the College. I invite you to post your impressions of Woroni on the talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.220.52 (talk) 12:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

This article should not be deleted. None of the other articles about ANU colleges are being deleted. So this one should not be. Its just extremist deletion policies again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.56.71.50 (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment. If you feel the other ANU residential colleges don't meet our notability policies you are welcome to bring them to articles for deletion. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
