Atherton Hall (Penn State)

Non notable building; the site of one tragic accident, which didn't create much of a stir off campus. Survived a previous AFD without much discussion. Brianyoumans 21:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per others to List of Penn State residence halls would actually be appropriate after looking at it more. Nashville Monkey 02:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to ~~Schreyer Honors College~~List of Penn State residence halls. The elevator death did generate much press coverage (just like the recent one at Ohio State), but that does not really make the building notable. --- RockMFR 23:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think that if the article is going to be merged, List of Penn State residence halls is the right destination. --Brianyoumans 07:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Brianyoumans. SkierRMH,08:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect per others above. DrKiernan 15:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Residence halls are not per se notable. If we can't delete I'll settle for a Merge, though I don't care much for the merged article either. WMMartin 19:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If residence halls aren't notable, then why does Notre Dame have a seperate article for every single one of theirs? Atherton is the administrative home of a notable honors program, one of the better ones of schools of its calibre. If it's not kept then I support a merge of at least some of its content to Schreyer Honors College. --Mithunc 07:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I took a quick look at the Notre Dame dorm articles; while it seems excessive, they have done a good job of establishing notability of some sort for each of them, mostly by compiling lists of alumni who have lived in each of the dorms. Several of them also have architectural interest. I might go through the articles and try to AFD some of them, but I think it is going to be hard to get rid of them, unless they are copyvios of material from Notre Dame's site (which may well be the case.) --Brianyoumans 15:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
