The result of the debate was UNCLEAR. I'm going to merge it, then put the disambig in place. dbenbenn | talk 23:07, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dobson Hall

Some college dorm. Article fails to establish notability beyond being one of the countless places college students live for a few years. Since it was only built in the 60's, seems unlikely to have some (presently unmentioned) encyclopedic backstory/history. Niteowlneils 02:46, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge/Redirect Truman State University. --ZayZayEM 02:52, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Caution before redirecting - there are a number of similar college halls in the US of the same name, and a hall in Bolton in the UK. Is this clearly the most famous building of this name (which I'm really not convinced it is), or just the first one to come up in a google search? Average Earthman 03:42, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Disambig. I have slapped together a disambiguation page to address Average Earthman's concerns. It's on the article's talk page—what do people think? (Feel free to add your own Dobson Halls.) --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 21:36, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, dorms aren't notable. --Idont Havaname 00:19, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • It is useful to document the ordinary details of ordinary life. Authors of fiction, for example, can capture the proper feel of a fictional setting by basing it on ordinary facts about a real place.
