Talk:Aberdare Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I object to deletion on the basis that a page exists for Aberconway Hall at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberconway_Hall.

Dear All,

This page is not of high quality as judged against the rest of Wiki. However, it provides a useful service for potential undergraduates. The hall is of considerable social historical and architectural importance and the page should be retained pending improvement of these aspects of the page.

David Kelly, Cardiff University

While it may have provided "a useful service for potential undergraduates", Wikipedia is not a brochure. I trimmed the page down significantly, removing lots of unverifiable information which may be true (I know coz my girlfriend lived in the building), but is deemed as original research by Wikipedia, and therefore not allowed. The information I "pruned" may be better off at Cardiffpedia instead of here. --Dangherous 14:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Look at it this way: "Contrary to popular belief, Aberdare Hall is not run by nuns, does allow men to pass through the doorway, and (sorry boys to ruin your fantasies), is not full of lesbians or virgins having pillow fights in their underwear!" is not a very encyclopediac tone, and encyclopedias are not the place to write how "The Lodge offers various snacks such as bars of chocolate, crisps, sweets, cold drinks, milk, tins of baked beans, pot noodles and loaves of bread for residents to buy when feeling a little peckish", nor that "Peter, Andrew, Jackie [and] John" work there. --Dangherous 14:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
