Deletion

Article is about a non-notable residence hall. There are no notable, independent sources and the subjects fail WP:notability. I first tried merging the article into the appropriate article regarding buildings at Georgetown, but such action was redirected.--TM 00:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The three sources pretty much sum up why it's notable. The city arts board has named it part of the historic skyline. It was the recent recipient of a huge renovation. It recently caught on fire. There are more sources for these topics if the quality of the current ones is under debate.-- Patrick {_oѺ^∞} 00:28, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simply being renovated and catching on fire are not claims to notability. If that were true, billions of buildings are the world would be notable. Where are the secondary sources? Fails WP:GNG. Unless this discussion draws other editors, this is pointless. I will take it to AfD soon.--TM 00:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD is the route if deletion is sought. The subject of this article is not within the ambit of A7, which is only for people, animals, organizations, and web content. If this article was within those categories the A7 would still have been invalid given the referencing, which is the most fundamental indication of importance an article can have. Whether those references are enough to sustain notability is a discussion issue, not an uncontroversial speedy deletion issue.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
