Grant Hall

No notability has been established even when notice has been expressed through {{notability}}. Article contains content, although unverified and largely un-encyclopedic in value. Very local in notability. Common deletion outcomes suggests that classrooms (and campus buildings) are generally not notable. Luke! 04:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A google search shows up quite a number of hits for this subject. Moreover, can this webpage be used as a reliable source for this article? --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 04:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, your quoted source is more helpful against the article and not in support. As other editors may notice, the first six paragraphs of the source your provided makes up the entire en.wiki article. Equating virtually to copyright infringement. Luke! 05:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as copyvio. ←Ben^B4 07:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The campus building, in itself, looks historic enough that I'd support keeping it. However, since it's mostly a copyvio of this source, the article would have to be rewritten to make it acceptable. I'm going to go with a delete on this one but without prejudice to recreation. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 03:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The building, from what I read, is historic and notable. If the concern is about a copyvio, remove those parts. That's not a reason to delete the article. Delete if the copyvio isn't cleaned up. --GreenJoe 01:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Historic buildings are perfectly acceptable topics for Wikipedia articles whether they're on university campuses or not. No university should have every building on its campus written up on Wikipedia, certainly, but particularly historic buildings are permissible. Keep if cleaned up for copyvio; delete otherwise.

Keep and cast out the copyvio per GreenJoe. --Gpollock 02:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with copyvio clean-up as per Bearcat. Not all university buildings are notable but its claims to fame seem to go beyond just the Queen’s community and are verifiable: CBC called it “The centerpiece of Queen's University” in TV listing for Canadian Antiques Roadshow [1], the national museum has cigar boxes with its image on them [2], it’s a venue for performances and events like granting Governor General a honorary degree [3] or the annual Rosen Lecture known for hate-speech debate [4] , role as military hospital THE EARLY HISTORY OF PATHOLOGY AT QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY AND HER TEACHING HOSPITALS (until 1966).
