[edit] East campus

A non-notable dorm at MIT.-- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 03:47, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not specifically notable that I can see. Perhaps if someone famous was born, died or conceived there? >: Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 03:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. CambridgeBayWeather 03:56, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep -- I think the arrangement of the site at MIT is notable enough, as MIT itself is notable; remember, WP:NOT a paper encyclopedia. On the other hand, this article as it is isn't very useful or informative -- it needs to either go or be expanded.. --Mysidia (talk) 04:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yes, MIT itself is very notable, but if people want to read about the dorms there floor by floor, they should consult the MIT web site, not an encyclopedia. --Metropolitan90 04:12, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all articles about dorm buildings unless world-famous. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m ] 06:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vegaswikian 07:33, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with Szyslak. Unless the architect, style or design is somehow notable, a building is just a building, and a dorm even more so. Dottore So 15:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. NN. I know many MIT students who take their dorm organization very seriously, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us ought to. -- SCZenz 21:47, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• comment I don't get it. There were articles about dorms at Harvard recently nominated for deletion and kept. If its good enough for Harvard, why not MIT??? Roodog2k (talk) 21:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I voted delete on the Harvard dorms too. Roodog2k (talk) 21:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and move to East Campus (MIT). The article says almost nothing, but much more could be said - MIT dorms are much like frats in that people choose where to live, and EC has a particularly interesting culture. --SPUI (talk) 20:19, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with SPUI. This should be moved to East Campus (MIT) and expanded. Baker House, Simmons Hall, Burton-Conner House, and Bexley Hall are other dorms at MIT that have informative entries in Wikipedia, and I don't those pages up for deletion. I don't see any reason why East Campus should not have an entry. MIT dorms indeed have very unique and interesting cultures. --RadiantEuphoria (talk) 16:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. If other dorms have pages, this should too. Cmouse 01:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn --redstucco 08:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The number of dorms notable enough to have their own article is few to none. Just because other non-notable dorms have articles does not mean we should compound the problem. U$er 17:22, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- I think that you all are confusing a poorly written article with a subject that has no merit. I agree that the article needs work, however East Campus has a long and colorful history. For example, the recent Time Traveler Convention was held at East Campus, which got international press. I will appeal to my friend who lived at East Campus to ride in and fix the article.
