Teknologkollegiet[edit]

Non-notable student dormitory. Sgroupace (talk) 03:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete outside of being designed by a notable architect, I see very little to convince me that this dormitory is particularly notable. Master&Expert (Talk) 03:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per being a near-orphan article, and a non-noteable dormitory. I still think you could mention it in another article, like that of the architect, but besides that, chuck it. K50 Dude ROCKS! 03:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it or at least give the article time to expand. It provides useful information for students going for scholarship, and there similar articles concerning other dormitories in Wikipedia, such as: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantoft_Studentboliger http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resid%C3%A8ncia_d%27Estudiants_de_Fantoft http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9sidence_universitaire_de_Fantoft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomektadla1 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:USEFUL, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Punkmorten (talk) 10:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I see nothing particularly worthy. Punkmorten (talk) 10:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as per inherent notability of school and university buildings. It seems there is a growing consensus to include WP articles on individual dormitories as seen by the hundreds of articles in (Category:University and college dormitories in the United States), (Category:Halls of residence in the United Kingdom), (Category:University and college residential buildings), etc. This is not a one-off type of article which fails WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Although this article should be excised of the fluff and absurd trivia like "phraseology", the page should be kept. — CactusWriter | ^needles 12:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I've whittled down the article to remove the obvious chaff and fluff to see if can stand on its own. If not, I would suggest merging into the Aarhus University page which can always be expanded to include a list of residence halls. — CactusWriter | ^needles 13:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as there is NO inherent notability of school and university buildings User:CactusWriter's outrageous statement cannot be allowed to stand. This unremarkable dorm is just that. No sources attest to its notability whatsoever. 66.57.190.166 (talk) 22:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - Actually, it was hardly an outrageous statement. The active proposed Wikipedia guideline for notability of buildings includes reference to inherent notability specifically for schools and universities. And the largely populated WP categories for university buildings appears to support a consensus for that guideline. — CactusWriter | ^needles 23:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Designed by a notable architect, and article is based on a reliable source. There is no reason to delete this except overzealous application of notability guidelines.--ragesoss (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable architect Power.corrupts (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being designed by a notable architect doesn't confer automatic notability, and being one of 22 halls of residence of a university certainly doesn't provide "inherent notability". Phil Bridger (talk) 21:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
