Central Missori State Univerity Tower[edit]
Non-notable tower at a college campus we don't have an article on. I would have moved the info to the college article and redirected otherwise. RickK 00:32, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Do not redirect. It's hopelessly misspelled and nobody is going to look for it under that title. It's true that we don't have an article on Central Missori State Univerity. But we do have one on Central Missouri State University. Let's put this article out of it's missori. P.S. I've now put everything that I think needs to be said in Central Missouri State University. What I put in the article is not a merge from this article but written new-from-scratch so deleting this one creates no GFDL history issues. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:20, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. The article doesn't really have anything to do with the University itself. It's about a radio mast that will be constructed there. This seems to be a part of a much larger series of articles linked to from the List of masts. Almost all of the masts have a little stub with the mast's height, geographical coordinates, ownership, and FCC registration. Don't know if all those things are useful—or if they all wouldn't be better off merged into a table in the main article. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:19, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Whoever put in the substub-under-the-misspelled article name didn't research very carefully... it seems that the mast has been built—at least, a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the facility in Syracuse occurred in 2003.
- Delete - redundant with new mention in Central Missouri State University and there-linked FCC database which is more likely to be kept up to date. Redirect would be useless. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:28, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Merge to List of masts. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:30, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, add it to the list when/if it gets built.--nixie 07:10, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete until it exists. Radiant! 16:06, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
- By the way, shouldn't we merge those several hundred of mast stubs back onto the main article? I can see the purpose of the main list, but not of hundred stubs reading "<name> is a guyed mast for TV transmission at <place> at <coordinates>. <name> was built in <year> and is <height> high." Radiant! 16:06, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge the whole lot. All the information in these scores (hundreds?) of articles could be condensed into an equally-informative table in List of masts. If there is any additional worthwhile information about particular radio masts, those select few can have linked articles. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 16:21, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- What? Are the deletionists still conducting this sick campaign against masts? All tall structures are intrinsically notable. This one serves an area of twenty thousand square miles, an area larger than Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, or Rhode Island. In fact, it's larger than New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island combined. And it's hundreds and hundreds of feet tall! It must influence the lives of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people. Surely this is more important than some minor character in Harry Potter. Faethon387 02:19, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- This is not deletionist, it's mergist. Ten and I are suggesting that the stub articles may be more useful if formatted together in one big table. That way, I would be able to find the latitude and longitude of several masts in one centralized location. Radiant! 09:40, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. No need to merge. This is barely even a news item as it stands. -Aranel ("Sarah") 19:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- If there's useful information then merge. Delete this hopelessly misspelled title - David Gerard 15:06, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. A new low for schoolcruft, (i.e., being on the drafting table is enough for an article). Edeans 19:04, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
