Notability of Athenaeum at Caltech[edit]

A tag has been placed on Athenaeum at Caltech requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. WordSurd (talk) 20:00, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, the Athenaeum isn't notable architecturally. It is, however, used in the filming of many movies, which is why I came looking today. It is also believed that many important "back of the envelope" calculations or inventions were done there. I believe that there are enough reasons to make it notable, though I don't know all of them. Maybe others know more. Gah4 (talk) 09:40, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Caltech's Faculty Club

residence of famous visitors

well known and admired architecture



An insignificant restaurant on the Caltech campus. The architecture is alright, the interior decorations include largely copies of the heraldic of Oxbridge (UK) colleges. Most visitors are trustees, senior undergrads and some grad student birthday celebrations.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.80.83.51 (talk) 22:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To the text: "well known architecture" would have to be referenced. It is not a "primary gathering place" and the link to actual restaurant website is not a proof of this. While I was at Caltech, it never was a gathering place, let alone a primary one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.80.83.51 (talk) 22:49, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
