Lumumba Hall

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

While a University is notable, an individual hall of residence within a University is not normally notable. No claim of separate notability is made and no independent references are given which would prove notablity. Basic details about the hall should be included in the University's article but there is no need for it to have its own article. Prod tag was mangled by the author. Not sure if it was his intention to contest the Prod or if he did it by accident. No reason to assume it was malicious. Sending it to AfD to be on the safe side.

 * Merge what can be used in the article on the university, ditch the rest and delete the article. No need to redirect this page. -Yupik (talk) 01:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete--I'm in agreement with Yupik. Drmies (talk) 04:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge There is enough notability for the residence hall for it to be included in the school's article. It needs to be sourced better though. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree that individual halls are not normally notable but this one is. It clearly has had a significant role to play in political unrest. In addition to the sources in the article, more material can be added from AllAfrica.com (which requires registration); see here, and sources such as these:, , , , , , .
