• Delete This college dormitory isn't more notable than any other dorm. Darkspots 20:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, precedent demands that dormitories have some notability separate from the institution, e.g. historic structure designation. --Dhartung | Talk 21:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Now if it was "Dot Comstock" Hall, that would have been a good pun, but it's a dorm on a branch campus of the University of (read the article if you actually care). Mandsford 23:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
• The building isn't all that notable within the University of Minnesota Minneapolis East Bank campus. It isn't notable architecturally, and it isn't notable for any significant events that happened there. Coffman Memorial Union is notable for its function and its use of the Moderne style, while the nearby Weisman Art Museum is notable for being a Frank Gehry-designed building that really caused a stir among Twin Cities architecture critics. Northrop Mall, Northrop Auditorium, and University of Minnesota Old Campus Historic District are also notable buildings on the campus. The residence halls aren't. (Neither is Jackson Hall, either.) I'll stop being long-winded and put in a delete opinion. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 02:34, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The closest that it gets to notability is being commandeered for a while by the armed forces, but I imagine that this happened to plenty of otherwise non-notable buildings in the U.S. (as it did in Britain). Adrian M. H. 20:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Although the building might not have had a major historical event occur it in the entry itself appears to be beneficial to those who would inquire about it. Remember that Wikipedia is not meant to be limited in ways such as size that other paper-based encyclopedias might be. It does no harm in keeping it. Notability is opinion-based; Dick Clark for example is just and man that had a TV show in the past to some. There isn't any need to delete that entry.--128.101.166.6 18:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
