Swift Keep - No more, and more importantly, no less notable than any of the ANU's residential colleges. No specific reasons for deletion advanced or particularised. Article is well-written, has adequate references for an article of its size; it is better developed than, as examples Graduate House (University of Melbourne) or University of Toronto Graduate House. Subject matter is non-contentious in itself; university residential colleges are not subject to any controverted notability discussions. There seems no reason at all why the article was nominated for deletion. --Shirt58 (talk) 11:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Provisional Keep - Residential colleges in Australia are different to dormitories in America - they usually have their own administration, traditions, etc separate from their affiliate university and are thus inherently notable (unlike a dorm, which would be analogous to a building within a hall of residence). Having said that, I'm not familiar with this one, but provided that notability can be established by secondary sources, I think it's a keep.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 17:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable student accommodation (I'm an ANU graduate by the way; despite what was posted above, ANU colleges are little more than dorms, and I think that the same is true for most Australian universities) Nick-D (talk) 05:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are you seriously suggesting that the ANU website is not reliable? We're talking about verifiability, not notability in its own right as an article - sources don't need to be 3rd party for that.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 12:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yeti is right, once merged notability isn't applicable, but I think the content should be scrutinized before merged to prevent repetition --Kraftlos(Talk | Contrib)09:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Actually, "These notability guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article. They don't directly limit the content of articles." If you want to discuss whether its appropriate for the other article, you can't disagree on notability grounds. --Kraftlos(Talk | Contrib)01:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
