Draft:Wilbur Hall
Residence Hall at Stanford University / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilbur Hall is a student dormitory at Stanford University. Most of Wilbur's over 700 residents are freshman, although smaller numbers upperclassmen also live there. Constructed in 1955.[1][2], the dormitory departs from Stanford's blend of Richardsonian Romanesque and Mission Revival architectural styles exemplified by rectilinear sandstone buildings and sculpted archways[3], representing instead Stanford’s brief departure into architectural modernism.[4]

- Comment: On the whole, I do not think this meets WP:GNG, primarily because it fails the "significant coverage" portion of the guidelines. The non-primary references are all reasonably reliable, but other than brief mentions there isn't much else. That being said, there is some decent content here and the existing section at Stanford University student housing is pretty terrible, so start off by merging the best/non-trivial content to that article; if it starts getting too large a discussion about splitting off the content can be created.

Wilbur is made up of eight decentralized dormitory wings, called Houses, along the perimeter connected by breezeways with a central dining hall located in the center of the complex. The complex interior is made up of several courtyards, following plan typologies of earlier dormitories including Branner and Toyon Halls.[1]
On April 7, 2021, Stanford announced the introduction of 'housing neighborhoods' as part of the University's ResX initiative to redesign the Stanford on-campus residential system.[5] As part of this initiative, Wilbur now belongs to 'Neighborhood S’ and ‘Neighborhood T' with each neighborhood occupying one half of the Wilbur complex, East and West respectively.[6][7][8]
