List of Oklahoma State University buildings

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

there is already a listing of buildings in the article for Oklahoma State University. in addition, this page does not provide enough information; I have a feeling it might just be a list that was copied from somewhere. Scottmso (talk) 02:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete As mentioned above, this list already exists on the main article. Furthermore, it is not sufficiently notable in itself to constitute an article (or list) of its own. Wilhelm meis (talk) 03:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge Keep and combine with Oklahoma State University–Stillwater. We certainly don't need overlapping information in two places. This looks a more complete list than that in the main article including demolished buildings and buildings under construction, for example, and at least containing a small amount of sourcing. There are two ways forward. The first, is to merge this list into the main article. The second, and my preference, would be to move the list of buildings out of the main article and into here to make the main page less cluttered. Which solution is adopted is a matter for the talk page. TerriersFan (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Listcruft, possibly a copyvio. Shapiros10  contact me My work  22:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * how can it be copyvio? Abstracting the material from their extensive web information isn't copyvio; if they do provide a simple list there, there's no copyright in this sort of a list--and if anyone thinks there is, all it takes is to reorganize it.  DGG (talk) 14:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The nom said that he/she had a 'feeling it was copied from somewhere". Shapiros10  contact me My work  14:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if it was copied 'from somewhere' it is most probably not copyvio. This is a purely factual list of buildings categorised by type and factual material is not copyright. TerriersFan (talk) 01:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This list for most universities will be extensive enough that it requires a separate list--there will usually be two of three lines of information worth including for each. since we are usually deleting articles on most individual campus buildings, itr makes it reasonable to provide for them here. As O iderstand it, the proposed solution of Terriers Fan is a separate article (ie keep), not merge. DGG (talk) 13:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - an orphaned article with no useful content. While it should be possible to verify the existence of these buildings that would not make them notable. --T-rex 01:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete context-free, source-free list. Pure directory. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 22:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists (discriminate, encyclopedic, notable, unoriginal, and verifiable). WP:ITSCRUFT is not a valid reason for deletion.  Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 00:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge Oklahoma State University–Stillwater into it per TerriersFan. While it is a standalone list, I would like to see more here than simply a list of buildings' names (as opposed to, say, Buildings at Marshall University). B.Wind (talk) 00:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sure there's a link on the school's website that does a better job.  We can point to it as needed. - Richfife (talk) 03:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge content from Oklahoma State University–Stillwater per TerriersFan, that article is worsened by a third of it's length consisting of this bare list, what would be best of all would be a paragraph or two in there, with a "main article" link to List of Oklahoma State University buildings. --Stormie (talk) 04:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
