University of Leeds accommodation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Effectively an OR list of hotels and/or other accommodation near the University of Leeds which has no business anywhere near Wikipedia. Laun chba  ller  18:41, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, though I'd support refocusing to just university-owned dormitories or to covering all university buildings individually notable ones already listed on University of Leeds and also non-notable ones, with a section on residences. I've noticed a number of recent AFDs on university buildings articles or lists, but it has generally been accepted that a list of university buildings is acceptable, and is appropriately separate from the main university article.  For example, Articles for deletion/List of residence halls at the University of Notre Dame, closed as "Keep" recently.  About including mere "hotels" not owned by the university, I rather agree those should be cut, if some formal association is not documented, but that is a criteria for inclusion that should be discussed at the Talk page, not at AFD.  Some of the listed residences are individually notable and have their own articles, so a list of them is clearly fine.  Also, lists complement categories. -- do  ncr  am  03:13, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per above and rename to List of residences at the University of Leeds or some such. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If we're going to set precedents then it should be renamed to List of residence halls at the University of Leeds.-- Laun  chba  ller  11:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, British universities actually use "halls of residence", not "residence halls" (see Category:Halls of residence in the United Kingdom), but the reason for my suggestion is that these aren't just halls of residence, which is why over half of them don't have "hall" in their title. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, but rename to University of Leeds halls of residence. I would hope that the article will in due course become more than a mere list.  I confirm that "halls of residence" is the usual UK term.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:39, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing new to add, obvious keep. Szzuk (talk) 20:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
