South Campus Residence Hall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article makes no claim to notability and does not provide multiple independent sources. TM 13:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to the UC article. No indication there are multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage needed to show notability for a standalone article. Edison (talk) 16:06, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - this is one of many, many articles about university housing which User:Namiba is attempting to delete by PROD, redirects and AfDs. I respectfully suggest that he work toward consensus at WikiProject Universities before proceeding unilaterally. Racepacket (talk) 01:46, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Would you please identify the independent references which satisfy notability for this and the other small residence halls in question? Regardless of the motivations of a nominator, I do not see these as more than directory listings, contrary to not a directory. A brief mention in the "student life" section of the article on the university is sufficient just to note that they exist. They seem no more notable per se than an equal number of small condo or apartment buildings. Notability is not inherited from the university such that each thing associated with it deserves its own stand alone article. Edison (talk) 21:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - Absent a bad faith nomination (and even then, only in cases of bans or egregious behavior) do we discount otherwise proper actions because of who did them. That's not a reason to Keep, just to be contrary. Shadowjams (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge this and any other relevant residence halls to University of Chicago housing. I believe this needs to be the default for all residence hall pages. It tremendously eases maintenance, gets rid of the stubby articles, helps monitor for vandalism (much easier to vandalize a particular hall if nobody else is looking), and allows editors to read about the housing character of a university collectively, as opposed to in a bunch of broken stubs about individual halls.

 * Delete. No claim to notability, let alone evidence of it. And object the notion that a WikiProject should be encouraged to seek some sort of consensus to ignore or bypass WP:GNG. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:06, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This new dorm is large, but I can't find anything encyclopedic about it on the internet. Delete for now, with no prejudice to recreation if decent sourcing is provided. Speciate (talk) 05:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
