Stony Island Hall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article which makes no claim to notability and does not present multiple, independent, non-trivial sources TM
 * 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)

 * Merge non notable residence hall, merge any usable content to University of Chicago.—Sandahl  (♀)  23:33, 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) 01:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, Racepacket, this is not a vote. What is your rationale for keeping the article? How does it pass the established norms of WP:GNG?--TM 01:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * References to demonstrate notability? Edison (talk) 21:06, 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. (Same comment I've left on the others). Shadowjams (talk) 21:13, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * CommentHaving a standalone article about the housing /dorms at a particular university is the thing to do if a section of student housing would make the article on the university too long. That will be the case for some schools but not all. Edison (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of campus residences are not notable. I agree that WP:Universities needs to come up with a suitable policy, but until that happens, we need to judge these articles by the standards all other articles are judged by, namely WP:GNG.--TM 19:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. No claim to notability, let alone evidence of it. (And I deplore the suggestion that a WikiProject try to devise its own notability criteria. That's un-necessary instruction creep: WP:GNG is a perfectly adequate test). -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:00, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This relatively new dorm is one of the least distinguished or noteworthy of all the UofC's residence halls. Speciate (talk) 04:57, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
