Apparently non-notable student centre, not one independent reliable source in our page. It gets some hits – but no significant coverage – on Gnews because various routine things happen there; no meaningful hits on Gbooks. According to our article, it has a "dining hall for students to purchase meals"; is this really of encyclopaedic interest or importance? (of course, if it had a dining-hall where students could purchase rolled steel products in bulk, that would be of some interest). This is the sort of mundane trivia that belongs on the school website.

• Keep a $200 million dollar building is not a mundane school annexe and is of architectural interest and will most probably be the subject of preservation in the future Atlantic306 (talk) 19:05, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, i see at List of University of Kentucky buildings that there are quite a few buildings that dont have a wikiarticle although "of architectural interest and will most probably be the subject of preservation in the future" (note: i am not saying that these buildings arent wikinotable, just that the argument given above is not relevant:)).

• Keep, or at least leaning that way. To "delete" outright would not be right. At worst the topic could be redirected to its row in the list of UK buildings. However, while the article could be edited down, there is still more valid material in the article than can easily be merged. --Doncram (talk) 03:47, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. A USD 200 million dollar 330,000 square foot building is not insignificant. Britishfinance (talk) 22:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment : We already have two suggestions to Keep the article that are based on the cost of the building. However, cost of constructing something is not a criterion for having an article on that something in Wikipedia! Suggestions based on policy would be far more productive. Take care, all. -The Gnome (talk) 06:04, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I !voted "keep" above. Again an outright "delete" would be inappropriate as a link to the this buildings entry in List of University of Kentucky buildings would be preferable, as a matter of wp:ATD. --Doncram (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, I added some material aobut the history of the building; they've preserved part of the 1938 interior.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:44, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
