[edit] Howe Hall

Howe Hall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. University residence built in the 1960's. Article makes no claim to notability and offers no reliable sources to back up the no claims. Nuttah68 18:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. The largest residence hall of a university with 15,000 students is indeed notable. Nardman1 19:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, though I don't agree that all large residence halls are inherently notable – Qxz 21:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This isn't notable. If it were, then would all buildings on all college campuses be notable? It does not seem to me that that is the case. -SocratesJedi | Talk 23:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no obvious notability. Big university or not, it's just a dorm. --Dhartung | Talk 23:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with the university article. If it were architecturally significant, or if some historic event happened there, it would merit its own article. Noroton 01:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/delete with Dalhousie University article. I tried looking up news articles that mention Howe Hall, finding approximately 20 articles from the Halifax Daily News. However, these articles tend to be trivial mentions like police looking for a flasher seen outside Howe Hall. Nothing notable enough that this residence needs an article beyond mention in the main university article. --Aude (talk) 16:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
