[edit] Hurlbut Hall

nn dormitory Prefer to Merge to List of Harvard Freshmen Dormitories or Delete --Aranda56 06:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• If anyone could group all those Hall pages i am nominating for deletion into one group I really going to apprciate that TY --Aranda56 06:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  • With respect to grouping all together, I would point out that there are many differences between the articles because there are many differences between the buildings. Although all are now used to house freshmen at Harvard College, some have significance as historic structures or for their architecture, some are located on Harvard Yard (which has some significance in itself) and a couple are rather bland. I have expanded several of the stubs already. See Weld Hall, Grays Hall and Hollis Hall. They can be expanded further, as can some of the others. I think they should each be viewed on their own merits. -- DS1953 20:07, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• If you want to merge them, then go ahead. You don't need to clog up VFD. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:35, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge this and all the others into a single page. - SimonP 15:49, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. These are notable as examples of early American archetecture. Let's see if the stubs grow. I would not be opposed to a merge and redirect to a list of freshman dorms, however. Sdedeo 19:52, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete or merge does not warrant own article. --TimPope 20:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep- more notable than high schools; Harvard dorms are inherently notable. (and no, I am not advocating either keeping or deleting schools...) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 00:21, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Ficelloguy. — Phil Welch 00:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unimportant to non-Harvard students or lovers, merge into another article. -- Kjkolb 05:04, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into a Harvard housing article unless more evidence of individual significance is provided. I disagree with "Harvard dorms are inherently notable." Barno 15:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • These are not simply dorms. Most buildings in the Yard serve many purposes. For example, Massachusetts Hall, the oldest building at Harvard and the second oldest academic building in the U.S., houses the office of the President of the University, but also houses freshmen on its upper floors. People really need to take a look at all of the articles because they are all different. -- DS1953 19:24, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. -- DS1953 06:33, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
