McConnell Hall

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

Delete nn dormitory building; with nothing to indicate notability - an anon basically deleted the article's contents but let's go through process. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the material present in the article demonstrates that there is nothing significant to say about it--just like almost all college dorms. If there are many more such articles around here, I think I going to have to change the tag on my page to "deletionist"DGG (talk) 22:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, entire article is WP:OR, doesn't assert notability or significant discussion in secondary sources, and is unsourced. Cirt (talk) 23:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge to McGill University or an article on all the residence halls of McGill University. No special notability is claimed for this particular dorm.--Fabrictramp (talk) 14:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 *  Merge to McGill University. TerriersFan (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn. CRGreathouse (t | c) 16:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to McGill University as per reasoning of Fabrictramp. Double Blue  (Talk) 20:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete on the grounds that there is also a McConnell Hall at Northern Arizona University, one at the College of Charleston, one for the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, one at the University of New Hampshire, one at Central Washington University, one at the University of Idaho, one at Smith College, one at Urbana University, one dining hall at Pitzer College, a closed one at the University of New Brunswick, one that used to be a dining hall at Acadia University, and one lecture hall at Meriter Hospital. And if anybody suggests a disambig page, why don't we just make Wikipedia a yellow pages and give up on the whole idea of an encyclopedia? Blast Ulna (talk) 08:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why isn't it useful for someone looking up information on McConnell Hall to get a list of articles? Most encyclopedias do have indices, by the way. Double Blue  (Talk) 15:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that is the job of Google, which is how I found all the McConnell Halls. My point is that their are tens of thousands of colleges worldwide, each of which has several dorm buildings. Every campus has parking lots, why don't we have redirects for every parking lot? Blast Ulna (talk) 17:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is manually organised in a logical fashion. Google is a search engine which looks for keywords. Ignoring the straw man parking lot and back to the point of debate: your argument is the article should be deleted since there are several McConnell Halls; my argument is the info belongs in the McGill article. Double Blue  (Talk) 17:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why should we have the redirect? College dorms are not remotely notable, unless there is something truly special about them. My Googling of the other McConnell Halls should be taken as evidence of just how many dorms there are, and of path to DIRECTORY=NOT that we should not be going down.

 * I don't believe a dab page violates WP:NOT. Double Blue  (Talk) 18:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
