Scholarship hall

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The concept of scholarship halls, and particularly the University of Kansas's application of the concept, seems to lack stand-alone notability. While facilities of this concept may warrant a paragraph or two in Dormitory or University of Kansas, it certainly fails notability for a stand-alone article.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:

 * Delete but encourage creation of a proper article. The concept is notable. on what basis do you say otherwise? I think there is probably a good deal to be found in the professional literature, but I am not personally interested in working on this topic.  However, the present article is altogether as impossible as most other college residence hall articles -- it is basically spam with almost no p[ossibly encyclopedic content, and comes very near to a G11 speedy. There is nothing in the present article suitable for reuse. (and ditto for the particular halls)  DGG (talk) 23:57, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that the concept lacks complete notability - just stand-alone notability. I encourage a discussion of it - just not as a stand-alone article.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:09, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Scholarship hall and merge in Pearson Scholarship Hall and Stephenson Scholarship Hall. The concept is both notable and controversial (exemption of scholarship hall kitchens from the KDHE inspections) - see here, here, and here for example. There are plenty of sources available to back up notability. We don't delete because of ad content or lack of sources in the page; we tag for cleanup and expand.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  IRK! Leave me a note or two 16:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Of the 3 news accounts given, the first two are really trivial and the third of probable local interest only. I don't think it can reasonably be expanded, especially since the first step to improvement would be deleting almost all the existing content. I doubt very much Scholarship Hall kitchens are exempt as distinct from university kitchens, but I suppose further sources are possible--the ref should be used for a more general article on UKansas residence halls--there is no reason to think these anything special.

 * Merge scholarship hall/Delete others: The concept of a 'scholarship hall' is too narrow to merit its own article, but the content is probably worth mentioning at University of Kansas and possibly elsewhere. The individual halls are entirely nonnotable and should be deleted without further comment. CRGreathouse (t | c) 17:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Scholarship hall and merge in Pearson Scholarship Hall and Stephenson Scholarship Hall.  A notable article with interesting content can be made for the overall concept, and any advertish content can be edited, sources can be added, these articles can become a suitable combination article with a little merging and cleanup.
