[edit] Armstrong Hall (Georgia Tech)

Armstrong Hall (Georgia Tech) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A three-story student dorm building with two kitchens. Encyclopedic notability not established. Notability tags have been removed several times, but the article still does not mention sources independent from the university. I commend the author for digging out an amusing historical anecdote involving the building, but raining bras and panties from a house does not necessarily make it notable. And besides, it seems that the source has been summarized inaccurately, as it does not say that the broom incident took place at precisely this dorm, and the television crew (just one is mentioned) is not said to have filmed there.

  • Delete. Agree with the nominator. There are several references in the article, but certainly not enough to demonstrate either historical or architectural significance of the building, which, as I understand it, was built in 1969. Does not pass WP:N, in my opinion. Nsk92 (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing notable about this building--similar to thousands that can be seen on any number of college campuses. Qworty (talk) 22:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge to Georgia Tech Freshman Experience or a new article Georgia Tech Freshman Experience Halls of Residence. The precedent is University of Exeter Halls of Residence. There is no point whatever in deleting just this hall when there is a whole bunch of other identical halls - by all means add the other halls to the AfD or, as is my preference, to create an omnibus article but lets deal then all together.

  • Keep or merge, it's a building with some history at an important school and we ought to have at least a bit of info about it somewhere. Everyking (talk) 03:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with nom. Nothing to establish independent notability here. Eusebeus (talk) 04:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete not even worth a redirect, as explained at the AfD for its companion hall. Except for those of architectural distinction ,it would take something very unusual indeed for a residence hall at a university to be notable, & nothing but the routine is asserted here.

  • Delete for lack of architectural or lasting historical importance. Biruitorul Talk 17:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think Georgia Tech is a great school, I love its math program... but dorms don't merit their own articles -- and are rarely notable enough to be mentioned in main articles (except on maps). CRGreathouse (t | c) 17:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
