University of California, Irvine student housing

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a two-parter. First, with an exception covered in part 2, below, there's no sign of notability of the housing system of the University of California, Irvine, outside of publications by the University of California, Irvine, and statistical data and lists of available apartments from Irvine. There's no more independent notability here than there is for the housing systems of most schools. In addition, the vast majority of the information given isn't encyclopedic anyway. It belongs in the student handbook. Nobody outside the community is going to care which eateries are covered by the student meal plan or that "many Mesa residents find it a treat, worthy of their time, to walk to Pippins and Brandywine just to eat!"

Second, there used to be an article titled Middle Earth Housing about one housing complex at UCI that received some attention when its buildings were named for places in Tolkien's works. An AFD was created for that article. The outcome was the merger of that article into this one. That was unfortunate because if any aspect of UCI housing is notable, it's specifically the Middle Earth housing. If anything other than deleted, this article should be rid of just about everything not related to Middle Earth housing and then moved to Middle Earth Housing; or else this article should be deleted and that article restored and updated.

 * Merge section about Middle Earth Housing into University of California, Irvine. The rest is non-notable, poorly sourced, and reads like OR. Owen&times; &#9742;  18:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per above, but obviously delete the rest. It feels like WP:ADVERTISEMENT mixed with WP:OR. It's a huge issue when it comes to college students who want to spread pretty helpful information online, but are unaware of the policies that govern Wikipedia.

 * Merge Its an advertisement right now. Lorstaking (talk) 09:54, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
