Eaton Hall (Tufts University)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another building on another university. Almost solely primary sources. No indication that this particular university structure passes WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:31, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think references provided are quite enough to establish a notability. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:59, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Also, I'd call it quite frivolous nomination for article, existing from 2006. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:00, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, actually the "article" has been a redirect for the past 7 years. But thanks for the misrepresentation. And I'm not sure which of the trivial mentions or primary sources you think equates to notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:45, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable with citations given. Smartyllama (talk) 14:13, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Well written and referenced. As always, room for expansion. But that goes for any article here. Why the piece was nominated for Afd I can understand. The building is not one of the Great Pyramids or the Tower of London, or even here State side Independence Hall. On the other hand, what the nominator may be overlooking is the importance of the building, and to the surrounding area, of Tufts University. I am sure we all agree that Tufts University is a notable entity. As such, it has its own article here. This piece Eaton Hall (Tufts University) could be easily incorporated and redirected to the Tufts page with no questions asked. However, that would contribute to expanding the Tufts University article beyond what is reasonable. As our guidelines state; “…When creating new content about a notable topic, editors should consider how best to help readers understand it. Sometimes, understanding is best achieved by presenting the material on a dedicated standalone page”. And I think that is what happened here. A standalone page that best serves the main article Tufts University. Thanks for listening. ShoesssS ^Talk 19:07, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because it's well-sourced, written, and (in my view) notable. But the nomination is completely valid and thanks for doing it. --Lockley (talk) 06:33, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
