This article does not seem to meet the notability criteria and has few sources. Am sure MIT is notable but a corridor at MIT? Shoud we have an article about every educational institutes' longest corridor? Stupidstudent (talk) 03:27, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep WP:IDONTLIKEIT isn't a sufficient reason to delete. If other institutions' corridors have also received significant coverage by reliable third-party sources, then yes, they should have articles like the infinite corridor. 674 book mentions, 145 scholarly mentions, and popular press coverage in Wired, Buffalo News, Kansas and Dallas, as well as the Boston Globe obviously. Also featured in a book title. Madcoverboy (talk) 03:51, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Shoud we have an article about every educational institutes' longest corridor? Most universities' longest corridors probably lack significant coverage. This one doesn't. Notability doesn't come packaged in neat categories. 160.39.212.104 (talk) 13:12, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Enough reliable sources to establish notability. Derild4921☼ 17:47, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - There is enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Not every university corridor does, so I'm not sure what the nom is suggesting except maybe a slippery slope. --Oakshade (talk) 05:12, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
