Old College, University of Notre Dame

lack of notability; lack of independent sources; not encyclopaedic article; marketing material Crusader2011 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I fixed up the nomination; I'd say redirect to List of residence halls at the University of Notre Dame (as I did with several others a while back) - I can't find any independent sources either. The possible notability seems to hinge on the fact that it's the oldest building at Notre Dame (which is why I didn't redirect it with the others), but now that I do a search for it I don't think it's adequate.

 * Change to Keep and improve - the National Register of Historic Places is good enough, but the article really needs some WP:RSes. 6 an 6 sh 6 22:08, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect (Template:R to list entry) seems to be the most sensible thing. —Ringbang (talk) 00:48, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep It is a landmark of one of the most important uninversities in the US. It was the first building built and was built in 1842. Having almost 200 years, it is an historical building and also a seminary, so an institution by its own and not only part of the UNivesrity of Notre DameEccekevin (talk) 18:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. As the first and oldest building, I expect there exists additional documentation off-line about this.  It seems individually notable.  It was not only a dormitory, it was the original building of the university, with other functions.  Now it is a seminary and I don't think that is the same as a "dormitory".  I do think this should continue to be linked separately from the navigation template of significant Notre Dame buildings, and not kludged into a list of the dorms only. -- do  ncr  am  20:35, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - historically significant building and, as also a seminary, it has a role separate from the University. Sure it needs expansion and better sourcing but that, rather than deletion, is the way to go. The Whispering Wind (talk) 04:07, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I have found the documentation from 1973 that proves that Old College, together with many other building of Notre Dame, is on the National Register of Historic Places. https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/1c9d1/N/University_of_Notre_Dame_Campus_Main_and_South_Quadrangles_St._Joseph_CO_Nom.pdf It is building #1 on the list. This proves its significance on a national level. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eccekevin (talk • contribs) 22:28, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
