University of Santo Tomas' parks and gardens

Delete This article has been tagged for ref cleanup for more than half a year. The issue was raised at the talk page of the article nearly as long ago, with no response. Since then, nothing has been done to improve the article in any significant way. As the article stands, there are two references for the entire article, both of which are to primary sources (a student newspaper at the university). There are a number of subjective, unsourced comments such as "built to encourage students to pray". The article was created and largely authored by User:Luiboowee who hasn't been on the project in half a year and is an alum of the university in question (see his userpage). The subject of the article simply isn't notable. Whatever content is notable (if any) should be pushed to University of Santo Tomas, and this article deleted. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge. While The Varsitarian isn't a primary source as there's editorial independence (LOL this is true), but this is an unneeded article that is better served somewhere else. I just don't know if it's OK to merge it back to the University of Santo Tomas article as that is already quite long. – H T  D  15:19, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to University of Santo Tomas. -- Whpq (talk) 19:19, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to University of Santo Tomas. My parents are both alumni of UST (they met there), but seriously, the gardens have absolutely no individual notability whatsoever. A mention in the main article should be enough. What's next, an article on a specific classroom? An article about the dean's office? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:21, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to University of Santo Tomas -- Lenticel ( talk ) 23:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to University of Santo Tomas While somebody has taken the time to find the history of the gardens there is nothing unique to them to justify a stand alone article. Nor are there any secondary references. Mariepr (talk) 22:21, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
