Does not meet WP:GNG: has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, current independent sources only mention Bodington Hall in passing. Ebonelm (talk)
- Keep Prize-winning architecture which meets WP:GNG. Andrew D. (talk) 19:27, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Andrew Davidson, you mean prize winning architecture which has been relocated for the past three years onto the main Leeds Campus and therefore is not at Bodington Hall? I agree the mural is noteworthy, but that just means the mural should have an article not that Bodington Hall should have one. Ebonelm (talk) 12:33, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- The architecture award was given to DMJ for the design of Bodington Hall, rather than for the mural by HCD. EdwardUK (talk) 14:03, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out, I have removed the information you re-added about the mural from the article again as it is not relevant to the Bodington Hall, please do not re-add it. Ebonelm (talk) 16:39, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- It is relevant and has been restored - the mural was commissioned to be a part of the building - removing this info on the grounds that the mural has been moved and preserved elsewhere is like removing any references to Peter Gabriel from the article on the band Genesis just because he is no longer an active member of the group.EdwardUK (talk) 16:59, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

- I was giving a talk today about Wikipedia to a crowd of potential volunteers at an editathon. I showed them this discussion as a fresh example of such behind-the-scenes discussion. One of the audience said that they had been at Bodington Hall themselves. This further demonstrates that this was a substantial public institution and, as we see on the article's talk page, it touched a lot of people's lives. Andrew D. (talk) 17:43, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
