 * Undecided. Not certain if this is sufficiently notable for a standalone article. I suppose two lines could be added to a new subsection of University of Notre Dame: "All first-year students are not only guaranteed on-campus housing, but are required to reside on-campus for at least one semester. There are currently 29 residence halls: 15 men-only, 14 women-only." That could then link to this list, if it's kept. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, though consider move/rename to List of University of Notre Dame buildings (currently a redlink), more in parallel with other members of Category:Lists of university and college buildings in the United States. Some articles about separate possibly notable residence halls have been redirected to this list, losing material and references.  See this Sorin Hall article version, just before being redirected on December 13, which may possibly support the notability of that hall on its own.  (There was an AFD tag but it shows only a redlink, i don't see an AFD discussion).  In Notre Dame University section of the university article, there's a photo captioned "Historic Washington Hall on the Main Quadrangle, popularly termed the God Quad", and there's a New Buildings subsection.  I am sure that there are a number of individually notable NDU buildings, and having a list-article covering them all together instead of separate articles is a fine way to go. -- do  ncr  am  20:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. There exists navigation template  which links to a number of university structures having articles.  A list-article of them all, with a section on residence halls, would be fine.  See guideline wp:CLT about how category, list, and navigation templates are complementary. -- do  ncr  am  20:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - User:Eccekevin reverted several redirects from non-notable individual residence halls and removed the AfD tag. I've reverted everything back and given a warning. 6 an 6 sh 6 01:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR. This is a directory not an encyclopedia article.--Charles (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This is generally a justified breakotu page at a famous university of considerable size, and that's true here also. Most of the individual ones will not be notable, but this is the way to cover them. &#39;DGG (at NYPL)&#39; (talk) 20:18, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per doncram and DGG. Side note: I redirected several individual pages (including the one above that doncram points out) because of a lack of independent sources; an IP editor put up an AfD template on them without any rationale anywhere first. 6 an 6 sh 6 21:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
