[edit] Additional third party sources

1 (page 8), 2 (see "Hot Spots on Campus"), 3, 4 (not a third party source but is still important for mentioning the Crim Dell area hosts four important wildflower species), 5 (the Crim Dell is even mentioned in The Insider's Guide to Colleges 2006), 6 (page 16; even the City of Williamsburg promotes the Crim Dell as a "point of interest" in its brochures), 7 (not a third party source but it is still notable in the fact that a campus tragedy occurred in the Crim Dell pond where a student accidentally drowned himself). -Jrcla2 (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

So (summarizing your findings), you've found that it's primarily used in advertising material, and outside of that, it's non-existent Tedickey (talk) 17:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
So (summarizing your generalizations), you didn't actually read everything then. A campus tragedy occurred there. It only involved one student and not 30+ (like the VT Massacre) so it didn't get as much press, but it was a tragic death nonetheless. I will add that bit into the article later (with sources, of course), as I do not feel like it right now. -Jrcla2 (talk) 17:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
He didn't jump into the bridge (which is the topic), but into a stream. Along the same lines, there are occasional deaths due to falling down an elevator shaft (perhaps you're planning to write a corresponding topic for occurrences like that at your school).
