Talk:Chestnut Residence

Untitled

I've restored this article, and added some links to media stories demonstrating the there are enough sources to write a good article. There is no blanket rule against residences getting articles. Certainly not all of them deserve a page, but a quick glance at Category:University and college residential buildings shows that a wide array have been included. - SimonP (talk) 15:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I would have to disagree. There was a prior decision at WP:EiC where an AFD concluded individual dorms like this are not inherently notable. Other residence halls like Annesley Hall, a National Historic Site, are notable for their historic value. This building is not a historic landmark, and it has no architectual merit either. The sources you added document only the purchase of the building, but that doesn't show how the residence itself is notable. WP:N requires "significant coverage".

Reading through the article, there's nothing in the content that is notable: I see things like not accepting new applicants, the postal code, the conference hall on 28th floor, "reputation" of providing luxurious accommodation, semi-formal and coffee houses and snowboarding trips, and intramural sports tournaments, and even fire alarms... which are all garbage. There are at most two sentences of "real" information that can easily be merged into the List of University of Toronto buildings you created. I was considering an AFD, but I'll try the merge first.

The general rule at Wikipedia is that if you can find mainstream third party sources on a subject then it can have an article. I certainly feel that a university buying a large downtown hotel and turning it into residences is noteworthy, and the local Toronto media seemed to agree with that leading to a series of articles. While there isn't much there now, I'm sure with a little research this article could be expanded. Merging it would remove content and limit future growth. - SimonP (talk) 17:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
