The result was delete. Two references were added a couple of days ago which have not been discussed [1] [2]; however, they are both pretty clearly 'passing mentions' and do not demonstrate notability to the extent of invalidating the numerous arguments for deletion. --Sam Blanning(talk) 14:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summit Avenue Cooperative

Summit Avenue Cooperative (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Another housing co-op but its connection to the founder of House on the Rock may confer minimal notability. I'm leaning toward no but can be persuaded. Otto4711 21:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Building, not co-op, has connection to father of founder (it was his son who made it a tourist attraction). That's two leaps away from notability in my book. --Dhartung | Talk 22:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Doesn't really fit the title, does it? But even as a corp, is still nn. SkierRMH,08:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep.
As the initial author of this article, I clearly may be biased. But there are more references that discuss the co-op, and would like an opportunity to present them and demonstrate its noteworthiness.
Regarding the Alex Jordan Sr. connection: It's true that the architectural history of the house predates the co-op, and the organization and the building are not legally identical, but where else would one write that information? Could there be a separate article about the house? Since Summit is a housing co-op, as a practical matter the organization can't be separated from the building.

  • Delete per nom. Split Infinity (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral I don't see the notability. Might you point it out Cephal-odd? Somitho 06:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not-notable, sorry. Eusebeus 17:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable "just a building"... WP:NOT a list of campus locations. --Kinu t/c 17:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment to Cephal-odd: I'm not arguing that the information should be in separate articles. I'm arguing that the co-op is not notable in itself, and the connection to Jordan is not a second route to establishing notability. --Dhartung | Talk 20:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - is not notable in it's own right, should go. Moreschi 21:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't know a lot about Summit Ave but i know it has a long and unique history in the madison co-op scene, being independant and different in location and culture than many of the other co-ops. re: the building, in the madison area, any building associated with any alex jordan is notable, particularly beautiful houses on top of the highest hill in madison. the author of the article, who presumably knows a lot about this co-op, says he has proof of notability; i think the article should be given a chance, especially as a notability tag was never put on the article previous to the deletion tag and it has only been around for about 2 months.Acornwithwings 01:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete since there is no asserting of notability per this discussion. If that changes in the future, the article can be restored. Vegaswikian 01:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
