The result was delete. Verifiable != notable. As a side note, I went through the University of Bristol halls a while back, and the ones that failed to have any assertions of notability outside being a building with rooms where students live all got deleted and redirected to the university.

[edit] Gannochy House

Gannochy House (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Also nominated is John Burnet Hall. Per precedents, University halls of residence are not usually considered notable (as a default), and these do not seem to be any exception. In fact, these are poor stubs with feeble, if any, assertion of notability. So I beg to move: Delete per WP:NN. Ohconfucius 05:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - unremarkable student dorms. MER-C 09:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Why doesn't the someone just merge all these St Andrews' University halls articles and save us the trouble of deleting perfectly verifiable information.--Doc^g 19:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - could create one good article from all the information in the several scattered articles we have on halls at the University of St Andrews. Suggest Halls of Residence of the University of St Andrews M0RHI | Talk to me 00:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Halls of residence have been organised into the category University of St Andrews halls of residence. This seems to be the normal approach for posting halls of residences for British Universities on Wikipedia (for example: University of Bristol Halls of Residence, University of Manchester halls of residence, University of Reading halls of residence, etc.) --John345er 01:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment While a category would indeed be useful for large universities such as Manchester, with a student body six times larger than St Andrews, one well sectioned article would be preferable, and cumulative notability could be gleaned, at least to me, than six to ten stubs with limited notability. Of course things could still be linked with anchors to each heading. M0RHI | Talk to me 03:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: please don't confuse notability of the subject with organisational structure within Wikipedia. This hall is a pretty bog standard hall which few outside the University will have heard of or would ever want to find out about. Unless anyone can find reliable sources attesting to its importance, it should be deleted. Putting several non-notable subjects together into one merged article does not make the article encyclopaedically, nor the multiple subjects any more notable. Ohconfucius 03:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Merge per above. —ShadowHalo 22:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no indication, or even hint, of notability. Merging will create one large article instead of many smaller, but that is still going to be non notable. Nuttah68 16:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable residence halls. No sources, so nothing verified to merge. Eluchil404 07:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
