Muriel Lester Cooperative House

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No notable house that lacks any quality to be on encyclopedia. Another remnant of pre-notability period. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to section on this house in Inter-Cooperative Council at the University of Michigan, which could be expanded slightly. Outright "Keep" would also be a perfectly decent outcome.  We should seek wp:ATD alternatives to deletion, to avoid losing credit to contributors, etc., for when separate article is more obviously justified by more sources being available.   Would-be AFD nominators should take note, should consider making merger proposals rather than starting AFDs.  Unless running up some kind of deletion score is their goal.
 * What the heck is meant by "pre-notability period"? Seems like something derogatory is meant, out of some kind of recentism bias?  But any topic once notable, is always notable. --Doncram (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete a house with 15 residents hardly rates an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:50, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * But why not merge to the list-article which already mentions it. It is mention-worthy...because it is mentioned.  We are supposed to find wp:ATD alternatives to deletion where possible, as here. --Doncram (talk) 06:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete there is no encyclopedic information to be merged. That the house serves vegan meals and that the basement is used for food storage is drivel that does not belong here. While Inter-Cooperative Council at the University of Michigan seems like a notable subject, most of the information on individual houses don't belong in that article - WP is not a directory of all information. At most a redirect. MB 02:33, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
