UPR Law School Building

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There doesn't seem to be significant third party coverage of this building (even in Spanish sources listed). It seems like current creation has COI issues as well. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:02, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to University of Puerto Rico School of Law as that could easily accommodate the building. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 13:42, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not a bad outcome however, I would want someone to be thoughtful in the merge given the COI issues I see present in the building article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:58, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * COI tag can still be applied unless someone's scrubbed the merge to keep it COI-free. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment "Merge" is the obvious wp:ATD-compliant treatment now for semi-notable/marginal buildings at universities. We are obligated to consider/search for alternatives to deletion, and one or more exist or could easily be created here.  The merge options include the law school article already suggested, and a List of University of Puerto Rico buildings (currently a redlink) or similar list-article which could be started right now.  Such lists exist for many, many universities now, helping to head off creation of separate new articles and serving as merge targets for the lesser quality existinng articles.  An AFD can be closed with specification that the list-article should be created, i.e. with the decision being to merge to list-article.  See Category:Lists of university and college buildings.
 * Actually, "Keep" could be an option too; I haven't really searched for sources myself. --Doncram (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I revisited this, was willing to go ahead and start a list-article on UPR buildings, perhaps by moving this one.  But then, what would I edit down from this article, which is full of decent content, well sourced, and additional reading sources.  Actually the sources in the article, although I cannot access and read them all myself, appear to demonstrate wp:GNG is met.  For example, "Gustavo Moré,ed, “Expansión de la Escuela de Derecho de la UPR” en Archivos de Arquitectura Antillana (Santo Domingo: Editora Corripio, enero 2002) año 7, núm.13, 88-8". --Doncram (talk) 22:24, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 06:09, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Unless the building has been used for different departments over the years, then it should still be connected to the law school. Look at Boalt Hall for example. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:59, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge. I don't seem much that would make this building notable. Much of the text strikes me as promotional and unencyclopedic written to praise the architect and/or building. I would merge the factual info.MB 17:59, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
