[edit] Dartmouth Dining Service
Doesn't seem notable. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:59, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Bits of universities are not inherently notable in their own rights. Notability has to be established. For some, it can be. For the "1st best college food service in the country", it might be. For the sixth best, it has not been. There is nothing of worth here to Merge into Dartmouth College. Delete. Uncle G 13:55, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)
- Delete. The dining services of universities aren't encyclopedia material. What's next: Harvard Buildings and Grounds Department? But this is probably someone having a bit of fun at Wikipedia's expense, or else "disrupting Wikipedia to make a point". --BM 14:36, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base. Possible bad-faith prank. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:42, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Don't tell me the Great Dartmouth Invasion of '04 has returned! That clogged up VfD for a week. -R. fiend 20:07, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Easy, easy. We never got a complete list but there is pretty good evidence that we got about several good articles for every VfD-worthy article. We didn't notice the articles from Dartmouth students that weren't Dartmouth vanity. I suspect this article of being trolling by someone who remembers the Dartmouth episode.

- Really? Yeah, I guess I didn't notice the keepers, just the Dartmouth College Skeet-shooting and Indian Arm-wrestling Society and the like. So were the good article not Dartmouth related then? -R. fiend 03:47, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
