Raymont Lodge[edit]

While it is called a "residential college" it does not appear to be a degree-granting school in the sense of the term, but rather a dorm/boarding place for several local unis. There's no evidence it's a notable dorm and since it isn't connected to one uni, no real merge target. There's no evidence of notability (a building is old, but does not appear to be listed as a registered building) and the activities and facilities it offers appear to be the same as any dorm type building.

  • Delete Agreed, it seems unremarkable and is kind of worded like an add Yamakiri TC § 08-25-2008 • 20:32:52 20:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - "Internet provided in each room"? "Limit of 1 Gigabyte per month"? "Excess charge $20"? This is an advertisement. Delete! --Lester 20:44, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a heritage listed building. That came number 5 on a google search. The nominator is incorrect. It is now a residential college for the two major universities in Brisbane and some other higher education institutions. The presence of advertising puff is not a reason for deletion. It is a reason to remove that material, which I have just done. I think that now all four delete comments above no longer apply. It needs more work, but I now feel sure that that is possible. --Bduke (talk) 00:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a national listed building. The way to deal with content such as that quoted by Lester is simply to remove it as Bduke has done, not to delete the whole article. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Afded version. There was no evidence it was heritage listed and for whatever reason this never turned up in a google search. It was a valid AfD at the time because there was no reason to believe it wasn't yet another article on a non-notable dorm. Not withdrawing becuse there are valid delete concerns but mine is now a keep based on the general consensus that heritage listed buildings are notable simply by their inclusion on Country X's list.
