University of Nottingham Halls of Residence[edit]

No notability anywhere. I've been maintaining this article for months trying to get it into shape, and it's remained dorm-cruft. Stlemur 00:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, that's a good enough reason for me -- the fact that you've been trying to fix it and yet it's still crufty. It's just a big ol' honkin' list too, shouldn't be kept. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 01:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a summary of the information here should be on University of Nottingham. This page has too much detail, but the topic should be discussed. Maybe a description of the largest few halls, plus summary of the rest (e.g. how many places of what type on each campus). Also gives an excuse to preserve a couple of the photos. :) JulesH 12:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as JulesH suggests.
Keep - it's not like we're going to run out of paper. There is some notability about the halls. For example the fact that one of them (Cripps) is listed in spite of its relatively young age. Also, if I recall correctly, Cavendish won some sort of architectural award (I think there's a plaque in the entrance with details). The article also details that one of the halls housed the penultimate student-run bar in the country. I suggest creating a small box template that we could drop in for each hall stating the current Warden and JCR President which would make the remaining information more accessible.

- Comment Hall Warden and JCR President aren't worth keeping; the rest isn't enough to be an article on its own. --Stlemur 21:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - first let me highlight a conflict of interest I have here - I have studied at UoN for over 7 years now (sigh), and have been a resident tutor at a UoN hall for 2 years previously. Yes the article is in quite poor shape, and yes the cruft needs to be removed. I agree with JulesH - the topic needs to be discussed, a number of these halls are notable (and have notable alumni/history) in there own right, but I do not think they should be merged to any other UoN pages, as there are too many halls / information to have a suitable sized single section. I won't get into trying to sort this page out myself, but if people wish to keep the page, I am happy to do a lot of leg work to get the page up to scratch (including contacting all the halls to garner useful information). I have some good connections with UoN and Students' Union that would be useful for this respect. It would be a good excuse to get involved again. Cheers Lethaniol 16:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
