Owens Park[edit]

No significance apparent; it's just student accomodation. Mel Etitis (Talk) 20:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The tower is a local landmark, for sure, since it dominates the skyline. Starting point for the Chemical Brothers is also relevant. I'd like to see it expanded with the history, etc. The BOP is well-known among students, but not sure if that make it notable enough. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 20:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above and because it seems verifiable, prune anything that isn't. --W.marsh 21:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The tower was notable for many years for being the only high-rise building in the area, and being forty or so years old it has seen many students pass through it. The article itself is not good and does not cover its architecture or history. Nevertheless the building is notable. Keep, and improve with notable facts. In common with most school, college and university articles, it is rather geared towards events known only to current or recent students. Oosoom ^Talk to me 21:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the tower is a landmark and the hall is perhaps the best known in Manchester. The Chemical Brothers link also makes it notable. The article is fairly poor, though. --David Edgar 10:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep somewhat of a landmark that is visible for several miles in South Manchester. Is a representative hallmark of the sixties expansion of the UK HE sector. Although not ther largest hall of residence at UoM its reputation is a defining part of generations of students who have studied at UoM and UMIST. Pit-yacker 20:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant visible landmark in south Manchester. Probably the best known of the Manchester University and UMIST halls of residence. The article could do with some serious work, though. Fingerpuppet 21:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and agree with pretty much everything said above. ---- Eric 00:04, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
