Non-notable study/technology-resource space in a college library. This is a massive page with no virtually no encyclopediac content at all (WP:UNDUE). Extensive list of software and student study-space configurations? The minutiae of the building/design process? List of major donors? The major claims of notability appear to be how often it's used by students and how many or how modern its resources, all self-sourced, all "nothing special about this compared to every other school's similar-sounding thing". Seems more like a compendium of the project's own website than a WP article. DMacks (talk) 05:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

We are new to Wikipedia and will update our entry after reviewing the comments and suggestions above. We will get in touch in a few days with questions and requests for clarification. Pennwic (talk) 13:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I just took a crack at editing/rewriting the article, taking into account DMacks's highly relevant criticisms.  The original article certainly went well past what a WP is generally expected to be, but a Google Scholar search shows that its notability extends beyond that of a simple study space.  (see http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Weigle+Information+Commons%22 for details) It absolutely needs additional edits, but it is much improved, and in its current state makes much less sense as a candidate for deletion.

 * Merge Why do we need a separate article on just part of the campus library system? This is something that belongs within the Van Pelt Library article.  Nyttend (talk) 12:31, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
