 * Delete. Small private housing enclave on a local community college campus. --Closeapple (talk) 02:41, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

This is not a dormitory, this is the only housing at the college. Therefore, it is an important component of the college and deserves to be merged with the ICC website. You cannot consider something non-notable or insignificant if you have no reference point. This is not a community college but a junior college - and yes, there is a difference. As the only housing at the institution, this is an important reference source for anyone interested in the college. --Nalask (talk) 23:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Nalask's claims above are somewhat contrary to reality:
 * This AfD isn't about whether Woodview can be in the ICC article; it's already mentioned in the ICC article, though it could be removed because it has no reliable sources in the ICC article.
 * Woodview is the only housing "at" the college because, if I recall correctly, the Public Community College Act does not allow community colleges to have campus housing, but ICC did some very careful legal maneuvering such that Woodview isn't technically a component of ICC at all. That being said: Being the "only" housing is not relevant anyway; whether student housing is grouped under one name or ten does not affect notability.  Apartments near a school are not unusual, to put it mildly.
 * As for the claim that Wikipedia editors "cannot consider something" (whatever that means): such a topic, which people "have no reference point" to judge, would fail WP:Notability by definition anyway.
 * Yes, there may be a difference between a junior college and a community college: but Illinois Central College (Illinois Community College District 514) is obviously a public community college, just like all the others under the Public Community College Act (110 ILCS 805); I'm not even sure what that has to do with the Woodview Commons article though.
 * I have no idea what is meant by an apartment building being an "important reference source"; that's what the library (300 feet away) is for. --Closeapple (talk) 19:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
