Non-notable college campus building. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:05, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research about a non-notable building. If this belongs on Wikipedia, then I'm creating an article about my garage next. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * But I've always been fascinated by your garage. That must mean it's notable. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 00:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't think we're going to find the coverage necessary to show notability here. If there's interest, perhaps a redirect to Michigan State University? UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 00:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails verifiability. (ETA) Fails notability. I question the basic accuracy of the article, since I do not believe that all chemistry classes are taught there in a building that old. See which shows "the Chemistry Building", opened in 2007, which replaced a 1950's building. It seems either a careless and poorly written article if not a hoax, in claiming that a small building from the 19th century is still where all chemistry courses are taught.

 * Comment: This building was demolished in 1955: . Rmhermen (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment So the article could be edited to remove the incorrect assertion that all chemistry classes are "still taught today" in the demolished building. Now are there multiple independent and reliable sources with significant coverage of the 1869 building with its additions? Ideally these would include reliable sources more independent than just publications by the university. I do not see it listed at National Historic Chemical Landmarks like some other laboratories. Does the demolished building even have a distinctive and identifying name? Edison (talk) 03:26, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article, feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:34, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
