Brookfield Library

small library, does not meet WP:ORG. In particular, it does not clear the WP:AUD requirement. Rusf10 (talk) 01:15, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does this not meet inherent notability because it's part of NRHP? SEMMENDINGER (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, looks like it's non-contributing to that list. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 13:31, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The former Joyce Memorial Library was apparently located in the old town hall building on Whisconier Road which is part of the Brookfield Center Historic District (Brookfield, Connecticut) and now the historical society/museum. [1][2]. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 16:25, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, good point. I wouldn't say that qualified it then, this isn't an article about that building. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 17:10, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone else think it might be appropriate to mention that old location and its history and architecture as part of the history of the library within this article?

Sure, that's a good bit of history for sure. I just want to make sure we don't fall under the assumption that adding that bit of information means it's notable. Just because it was once in a building that later became an historic site won't help this page with its AfD. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 20:29, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but if this article is given substantial enough information on the NRHP contributing property (enough to make it virtually dually about the current location as the NRHP former location), then it should, as mentioned above, be inherently notable.

Because at that point it's better and more accurate to make a page just for that building. No one looking for information on "165 Whisconier Rd" is going to think to look up a wikipedia article of the library that was housed in it decades ago. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 20:41, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, If there is enough sourcing to create a separate article about the historic building, I would not oppose it. The subject of this article is the town library which has not occupied that building in over 40 years.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:47, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do. Here [3] is an old era photo that shows the old town hall with a "Joyce Memorial Library" sign over the front door.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

merge to town, as usual for local institutions. There's no indication of particular notability , and most of the article is devoted to their hopes to get voter approval for a new building,-- WP:CRYSTAL is therefore relevant also. DGG ( talk ) 17:02, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge some material, sources (Hartford Courant) on history of the library to town of Brookfield, Connecticut, there is not quite enough sourcing to keep. Feel free to ping me to reconsider if 1 or 2 more good sources are found.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to town article. Neutrality^talk 03:32, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I'll agree with the rest with regard to the conversation we had above. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 15:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. 24.151.50.175 (talk) 17:03, 19 May 2018 (UTC) (same dynamic IP user as commented above).[reply]
Merge per WP:SNOW and WP:CHEAP. If the library building was over 100 years old, I'd support keeping it, but it's not. Bearian (talk) 21:14, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
