The result was   merge to Keele University. It seems everyone agrees that the content is not notable enough for a separate article; however, as there is no consensus to delete, I'm recommending that this article be merged and redirected to the University article.

Keele University Halls of Residence

Not notable. Please see discussion at the article's talk page. Bongomatic (talk) 07:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete per talk page discussion.--EchetusXe (talk) 12:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. None of these buildings are notable residences, or of significant architectural merit. I would probably support the merger or deletion of many other members of Category:Halls of residence in the United Kingdom for the same reason. An example of student halls which are notable would be Clifton Hill House (listed building, notable architect, notable former residents, TV filming location etc.). — mholland (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete that none of the buildings is individually notable is totally irrelevant. This is an articles about the collective residence halls. We need an argument about whether they are as a group significant. As for that, I think there is no encyclopedic information here, and a simple list of them should go somewhere else in the articles about the university. If anyone wants to know the details, the university has a website, with a map. And I agree with Mholland about the unsuitability of many of the other articles in the category.

 * Merge into Keele University. All university articles cover their student accommodation. The question is whether the material merits a standalone page or whether it can be incorporated into the main page without overbalancing it. Here, the content can be easily merged.

 * Merge into Keele University. Halls of residence are not notable without a very good reason. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep into Keele University. As per discussion on talk page. Coastalsteve984 (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge I remeber hearing that Keele uni had the highest suicide rate in the UK, as it's residences were so isolated and boring. But even that isn't enough to make them notable :-).Yobmod (talk) 15:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  treelo  radda  02:02, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. No evidence of notability, either as individual buildings or as a collective residence halls that I can see here. DGG is correct that this sort of info belongs on a university website, not in an encyclopedia. Nsk92 (talk) 03:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of these buildings are worthwhile in their own right. Operating (talk) 21:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I got deja vu seeing this, and not because it's a relist of a recent AFD. Wasn't this nominated about a year ago? If so, there should be a link to the previous AFD. No opinion either way, I'm just sayin'. 23skidoo (talk) 06:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't think so as this page was created in August 2008. Bongomatic (talk) 12:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I remember something too. Maybe it was another university? Stephen Turner (Talk) 05:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't mean anything as the article could have been deleted and recreated. 23skidoo (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Keele University - this is usually the best solution for buildings etc of minor notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Keele University. There is no reason why we shouldn't point readers to the correct place to find information on the res halls. What's currently here appears unref'd so redirect, if there's sources, then a merge would be fine as well. Double Blue  (Talk) 04:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
