The result was Delete. Consensus leans to Deletion - but I agree that there might be an article here, with some work. So, I'm going to userfy the current text to the author's userspace - maybe something good can come of it. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 13:48, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Article lists many buzzwords and attempts to cite Case Studies but lacks any content. The only External Link provided links to a NY State "Out of date" page. Aramova (talk) 21:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Airplaneman ^talk 21:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:29, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete without prejudice, no content and patent nonsense. This article consists of a list of case studies prefaced by this remarkable text:
  
  This article is related to:
  
  architecture urban planning dwelling home hearth dormitory homeostasis community shelter building post-industrial age nomadic culture co-operative condo family philosophy design aesthetics CIAM Athens....
  
  It goes on, too. The subject may be worthy of an article. This list might be worth moving to a userpage, as a list of topics to cover. But this is simply not an article yet. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:55, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
• Delete for now topic may be notable but article is unsalvagable as currently presented. Simonm223 (talk) 15:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
• In addition to being a topic of general interest, Housing theory is a course offered a CCNY/CUNY's School of Architecture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enniferj (talk • contribs)
• In response to the move to delete, I would like to mention that this is the first article/page I have attempted to create on Wikipedia and reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_demolish_the_house_while_it%27s_still_being_built. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.74.184.76 (talk • contribs)

• Keep. A Google search reveals that some universities do offer courses and lectures on housing theory (although most hits relate to a journal). The article is horribly written, but that is not a reason for deletion (WP:UGLY). The page's creator is also correct to cite WP:DEMOLISH. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 14:55, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - the article as it stands is completely devoid of any useful content. Not even the "case studies" or "references" are of any use because they don't actually identify specifics. If this were to be an article, it would require a complete rewrite. -- Whpq (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - It's totally unsalveagable, and I don't even know what it's talking about. There is potential for notability, but unless somebody can completely rewrite it in time, there's no reason why this might be kept, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
