Breckinridge Hall

Article which makes no claim to notability and does not present multiple, independent, non-trivial sources. I removed a significant amount of "content" because it was total original research. It had absolutely no sources and should not be included/restored even if kept. TM 13:58, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is about a dormitory at the University of Chicago. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect Merge to the article about the university. No independent and reliable sources are presented with significant coverage to satisfy notability. Edison (talk) 15:59, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:N and WP:IINFO. PROD removed without improvement or comment. Some student dormitories are notable, but so many are not that they feature at #4 in the List of bad article ideas. This is not one of the notable ones. I'm not sure it was advisable to remove so much of the text before AfDing, but the full version can be seen here and does not add anything but gossipy trivia.

Delete or redirect to University of Chicago, non notable residence hall same as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stony Island Hall.—Sandahl (♀) 23:59, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is one of many, many articles about college residence halls which User:Namiba has tried to PROD, redirect or AfD. I respectfully request that he seek consensus at WikiProject Universities before proceeding unilaterally. Racepacket (talk) 03:07, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the article. The building dates back to 1916 and served as a YWCA-type residence for working, single women until it was purchased by the University of Chicago in 1968. The building has references in books independent of the University. This is definitely a keeper. Racepacket (talk) 13:17, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw per new independent, non-trivial sources. Good job Racepacket. If only all of the articles you have commented to keep actually had sources like this one.--TM 13:22, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
