[edit] Badock Hall

It's a dorm. There are no sources, and no indication of significance. It's already mentioned in University_of_Bristol, which I think is an appropriate level of detail. Thus, I suggest deletion rather than merging, since the relevant info already exists elsewhere. Friday (talk) 14:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, individual Uni halls are surely not worth their own articles. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 15:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless something notable can be said about this individual dorm. Note that there has been previous discussion of a Bristol University dorm at University Hall (Bristol). — Rebelguys2 ^talk 20:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• DON'T delete - surely it should be expanded to contain more information for potential applicants to the hall? Each hall of residence is different so should contain its own article. Benbristol 13.06 18th April, '06

• We're not trying to replace housing brochures. Each blade of grass in my yard is different too, but there's nothing encyclopedic to be said about them individually. Wikipedia is not a phone book, so just because something has an address doesn't automatically get it included. If you want to know what happens when dorm articles get expanded, check out the mess at Odell Residence Hall, Lewis & Clark College. Friday (talk) 13:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Obviously your example is a ludicrous one and one that must be edited/abridged, etc. But I don't see that each hall of residence has to have its articles deleted. It isn't just 'something with an address' - I still vote for expansion. Benbristol 16.12 19th April, '06 (GMT)
• I'm at this Uni, and so I'm not goint to notvote on the issue at hand. However, I'd suggest that if you want it to stay 'deleted' that you make it into a redirect back to the Uni article. Otherwise, it will spring back into life before long. If there are multiple Badock Halls in the world, we can deal with the disambiguation when we find them. -Splash^talk 14:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• I would generally tend to agree. The main reason this is on Afd is the redirect I did previously was already reverted. This doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention from experienced editors, so I thought Afd might help. Also, I'm hoping to propagate the general opinion that simply being a building isn't enough to warrant an encyclopedia article, among people who participate in Afd.
