New Hall (St Andrews)

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

absoluely nothing notable about these halls outside of St Andrews Uni. Delete this one, just like the others: Gannochy House, John Burnet Hall, St Salvator's Hall, University Hall (University of St Andrews). Ohconfucius 07:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete. When it was first built there was some controversy about the principle of charging higher fees for higher standard accommocation within the University (I was on the Students' Representative Council executive at the time) but this would hardly make it notable --Captdoc 22:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I spent a drunken year of my life in John Burnet Hall. I can't possibly think of a reason why it would deserve an article and the same applies to New Hall. User:EricDuffy should probably take a look at WP:COI and WP:AUTO before Wikilinking to his user page from within articles he's written about himself. -- Islay Solomon  |  talk  15:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Are any of these buildings of special architectural merit? --Eastmain 16:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Well New Hall is (or at least was) pretty luxurious by British student accommodation standards (double beds, satellite TV etc.) but I don't think there's anything architecturally significant about it and it's only been there since 1993. I've really no idea if any of the other buildings are of any particular significance beyond age and former royal inhabitants. Hamilton Hall is probably the most recognisable building (if only because of an appearance in Chariots of Fire) and that's no longer a university building anyway.  --  Islay Solomon  |  talk  21:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete individual residence halls tend not to be notable.-- danntm T C 20:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no more notable than the others. Nuttah68 17:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
