Samuel Morris Hall
non notable dorm, just 76 google hits, that must be a record. -Greg Asche (talk) 23:04, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

KeepFirst, Wikipedia can use any article it can get. Second, no one in Morris actually calls it by its full name. Most of us use "Sammy," "Sammy Morris," or just "Morris." In addition, each floor is mentioned far more often than the dorm as a whole. This article is worth keeping. Brokenfrog 01:30, 28 September 2005 (UTC)brokenfrog
 * Right, but just because it is important at that specific college doen't mean we need an encyclopedia article on it. However, that is your right to disagree. Please be sure to add your vote in bold before comments though. -Greg Asche (talk) 01:56, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess what I meant is that your figure of 76 hits is inaccurate, as no one would use the full name of the dorm except in official circumstances. People talking about it on their website aren't going to use that exact phrase.  Also, there doesn't seem to be anything in the deletion rules about how articles must be about a sufficently popular subject.  I don't think that this would qualify as a vanity page. 192.195.234.26 04:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)brokenfrog
 * Ahh, I see what you mean. I never said it was a vanity though. And I don't see how wikipedia can be expected to have articles on every dorm in every college in the world. -Greg Asche (talk) 20:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, as long as it isn't in a name conflict, I really don't think it can do anything but help the wiki be a more rich source of information. I mean, it doesn't use more than a few kilobytes of space, and it contributes useful information.  If a new student googles the dorm, he might just be able to find some good information on it here.  That makes it worth it to me.  192.195.234.26 04:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)brokenfrog

Somehow this AfD page never appeared on the daily list of AfDs, and AfD tag was removed from the article at some point. Relisting for more eyeballs. Pilatus 15:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * delete, notability not established by article --Isolani 17:03, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I know that it's not AfD criterion, but I loved this Gem: "they are known for being the best known of all the floors". If he can prove that the 3rd floor people have notibility comparable to say, Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key, or Sphinx senior society, then maybe we have an article. But otherwise, this dorm seems no more notable than the dorm I live in which happens to also house 6 distinct groups, the fraternities.--CastAStone 17:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * delete, please, per nominator. Gsd97jks 17:12, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nothing notable about the hall mentioned. Its third floor is far less notable than MIT's Burton House "Fine Fifth." Dpbsmith (talk) 19:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete dorms. Gamaliel 20:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete probably not encyclopedic.
