Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Middle Earth Housing


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to University of California, Irvine student housing. The rough consensus here is that the content of the article is well-sourced and should not be deleted completely from the encyclopedia, but it may fit better as part of a broader article about UC Irvine and its campus. I chose the student housing article because it was raised without objection in the discussion by Reywas92 and seems the most relevant. Mz7 (talk) 00:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Middle Earth Housing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable collection of college dorms at UC Irvine. The coverage all seems to be in blogs or is routine coverage like would be expected of dorms - local news information of how many students live in it, construction of buildings, etc. Hog Farm (talk) 18:23, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - This is a lot more coverage than dorms at a big college like this normally get. The nominator definitely mischaracterizes the nature of some of the references. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  18:32, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have edited and watchlisted the article (I think I have a neutral enough point of view on the subject for that), but as a UC Irvine employee I'm going to recuse myself from this discussion. I hope my presence does not pressure anyone not to express their full opinion, whatever it might be. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:25, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Our coverage of UC Irvine's campus seems a bit of a mess overall. The article on UC Irvine itself has a "Campus" section that points to a "main article" while being long enough to qualify as an article already. The point of linking to "main" articles is so that we don't do that ... though in this case the "main" article has been tagged for being under-sourced and advertisement-like since April 2016. I don't see much reason to delete Middle Earth Housing, since the content and the sources are unobjectionable and there are in principle merge targets, but those potential merge targets need work themselves.

 * Speedy merge Absolutely no reason this cannot be discussed at University of California, Irvine student housing (or Campus of the University of California, Irvine since that page is full of OR and overly detailed cruft). Reywas92Talk 22:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. It's a large college campus housing complex. Bearian (talk) 00:39, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Housing complexes do not typically meet GNG and are best covered in the main university or campus article unless there is enough content to split into its own article. –dlthewave ☎ 12:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
