Broward Hall (Gainesville, Florida)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non notable non-distinctive college dormitory. The purported outside reference is trivial. There are two news references: [1], & [2]--There was a trivial fire in a room there in 1989, and another in 1995. That's not notability. All other mentions say, in effect, that its a typical dorm. Nothing to merge--it's already in Buildings at the University of Florida. DGG ( talk ) 23:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep

Obviously this article needs to be expanded, however this article is part of the Wikiproject University of Florida and is one of the most important dorms at the University of Florida (it houses 690 total students). The dorm has tremendous historical value and is named after the spouse of one the most famous Governors in Florida's history (Napoleon B. Broward). The dorm is so popular that it even has it's own antique plate.[3] In addition potential student like to read about dorms before they choose the one they want to live in. This article is part of the University of Florida student housing article as well. I would also bet that in a few years in will be placed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

Here is another article (3rd party source) that talks about Broward Hall.[4]

That item, is the very essence of indiscriminate, as it apparently describes every building. WP is not a tour guide to college campuses. DGG ( talk ) 14:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
