Article about a building on a university campus, without any real reliable sourcing to actually attest to the notability of the building as a topic in its own right — four of the five sources here are primary sources, and the one acceptable source (#3) has as its subject not the building, but the university department that happens to be located in the building. Which means that nothing here actually demonstrates that the building is notable as a topic in its own right — and furthermore, even the content is much more about the department than the building itself, which makes this very nearly a WP:COATRACK. (And, for the record, I did my undergrad at this very university, so I'm quite familiar with the building in question. It's certainly not impossible that it could be notable enough for an article, but I can also think of at least three other buildings on campus — Tabaret Hall, surely — that would rank higher on the priority list than this one. And regardless, the sourcing would have to be a lot better than this.) I'm willing to withdraw this if properly reliable sourcing that actually has the building as its subject can be added, but I'd politely suggest to the creator that they're better off shooting for an article about the Department of Fine Arts itself. In this state it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:04, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selective merge to University of Ottawa – Facilities. The topic has received some coverage in reliable sources, such as this article from L'Express (link translated into English), but source searches are not providing additional significant coverage. Source searches under the building's original name, "Juniorat du Sacré-Coeur" are likewise not providing significant coverage except for the same L'Express article. There is not enough significant coverage in reliable sources to qualify a standalone article. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

seconding a Selective merge to University of Ottawa – Facilities. This article mostly seems to be making note of the recent renovations and info about the department contained in it. The building doesn't seem to be architecturally notable on its own based on what is in the article currently. Hustlecat (talk) 17:12, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
