It isn't notable enough for its own article. Maybe it can be merged to Boise Cascade. -- $Σ talk contribs$ 01:39, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sounds like an article written by the IP jumper currently warring on the Oakland, California article over crime statistics. If an admin see this, a CheckUser might be in line to see if this matches that MO. As it is, this is a coatrack article designed to sneak in an average shooting usually mentioned in passing in the police blotter and local newscasts under the cover of a "historical building" article, when it hardly seems the case at all (just another industrial building reused as apartments and businesses; Google Streetview images of the address show a building that is unexceptional for the era it was constructed in.).

Delete, claim of historical significance is not sourceable, no other evidence of notability. While I'm assuming good faith, I am inclined to agree with User:Mrschimpf in that this might be a coatrack article. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I could find no evidence that the building has been listed as historic by the city of Oakland or by any other designator. Failing such a designation, it's just another old building. I would oppose a merger to Boise Cascade; this was never a headquarters building, just a local branch, of which they must have had many. --MelanieN (talk) 15:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
