Non-notable university dormitory. Also nominated:

Keep Shelton Hall, West Campus and 575 Commonwealth Avenue. Neutral on the other two. Shelton Hall was one of the first Sheraton Hotels and has had a lot of coverage. [1][2][3] (likely much more). The death of iconic playwright Eugene O'Neill there adds to its notability. Found ample coverage on West Campus too, which by the way isn't just a university dormitory, but a whole portion of Boston University. [4][5]--Oakshade (talk) 04:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC) NOTE: Added Keep 575 Commonwealth Avenue based on Hirolovesswords improvements. --Oakshade (talk) 04:33, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 575 Commonwealth Avenue and West Campus per their significant and extensive history and coverage. Merge/Redirect Myles Annex, Shelton Hall (Boston University), and Towers (Boston University) to Boston University Housing System They are not that long in length, don't seem to have much coverage outside the school, and can be condensed and added to the main housing article. Note that all five of the articles being nominated have a lot of unsourced, unverifiable, or opinionated information that definitely should be removed (i.e. "Claflin Hall is adjacent to the dining hall, but students must walk to retrieve their mailbox contents and to print in the Resnet computer labs, located in Rich Hall," Myles Annex being referred as "The Mannex," and "The ninth floor [of Shelton Hall] consists of a study lounge that provides an impressive view of Boston and the Charles River as well as Fenway Park/Students like the building for its quiet atmosphere") The Legendary Ranger (talk) 20:49, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
