UIUC Residence Halls

Do we really need an article on residence halls at university? Furthermore, this article reads like a student guide written by students as a prank. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:12, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I removed a bunch of vandalism that got added in earlier today. Mz7 (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - We have no real reason to describe individual houses, as they have nothing notable about them. Seems more fitting for a pamphlet then an article. WelpThatWorked (talk) 22:20, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect per WP:BEFORE to University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign as a useful redirect to a section with relevant content. Just Chilling (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge. At least one of the residence hall complexes is a historic building. And at least a list of residence halls would be reasonable addition to the main article about the university, as it is a description of the university, which is notable. --Bsherr (talk) 03:00, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect per and sysop-protect the redirect as we've established the Halls themselves aren't notable enough to warrant their own page and 's diff suggests that it's going to be a target for vandalism anyway.    SITH   (talk)   12:29, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:25, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect the sourced material to Campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (not just University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign). I'm not sure the housing by itself has WP:SIGCOV &mdash; though after 100 years, it certainly could have and perhaps we just don't have it in the article yet.  But I'm sure that Campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign must have attracted enough research that, if WP:SIGCOV isn't yet proven in the article, its just our own fault.  (That full-campus article has an obnoxious proportion of WP:OR however.)  On the subject of article protection: This is one of the older articles on Wikipedia, and doesn't seem to have been redirected before; so even if it's non-notable, it's not so obviously non-notable that we need immediate protection from undoing a redirect, let alone sysop-only protection. --Closeapple (talk) 00:53, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * : You did say to tell you if this came up for AfD. It's only been 11 years, right? --Closeapple (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect  as specified by Sloseapple.  DGG ( talk ) 06:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * redirect to Campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Lacks the coverage for its own article, but it looks like there's a good redirect target. Sandals1 (talk) 18:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * redirect resident hall itself does not consider notable. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 11:09, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
