The result of the debate was speedily deleted as a hoax. When the article is supported only by blatant sockpuppets, and states that an eatery is connected to the Umbrella Corporation, it isn't a hard choice. Scimitar parley 22:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Are articles about otherwise non-notable dining halls in colleges really needed? Wikipedia is not a list of every single piece of information in the world --W.marsh 21:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. Quicksandish τκ 21:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This phrase has been in use for over a decade and is still in use by at least 3000 people. Much more interesting than many of the articles on people nobody remembers or even heard of except the writer.--Toba 21:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If the dining hall is notable then so's my living room. CambridgeBayWeather 21:38, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Daka has touched the hearts of many, and the stomachs of many more. To suggest that Daka is a "non-notable" dining hall is ridiculous. For the chocolate-chip cookies alone, Daka will be forever remembered by those who dine there. Until it can be proven that Daka does not have the greatest cookies in the world, it deserves mention in Wikipedia. --Norfty 21:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Thousands are familiar with this, I think that is reason enough to keep it --KazenoKoe 21:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep 1. encyclopedia, cyclopedia, encyclopaedia, cyclopaedia -- (a reference work (often in several volumes) containing articles on various topics (often arranged in alphabetical order) dealing with the entire range of human knowledge or with some particular specialty) --Toba 21:45 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep As a current student of WPI, I would like to say the DAKA makes by far, the best chocolate-chip cookies ever. Also, it would be a great help to incoming students if they could read about the dining hall as described by current students, and most will be living on campus, and eating at the dining hall. As to the comment about your living room being notable, I've never heard anything about your house, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who have heard about WPI. I vote to save this page. --KurtWivagg 21:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment All of these people commenting to keep are, not surprisingly, accounts created after I nominated this for deletion, and even identify themselves as students of WPI (freshmen I'm guessing -- sorry couldn't resist) and are obviously biased and just joking around anyway. Per policy that should be taken into consideration. --W.marsh 21:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
