Nothing about the building is notable. The events that happened there are. —

Oppose building was central to two separate events:
1973 Hanafi Muslim massacre and
1977 Washington, D.C. attack and hostage taking. Substantive coverage of building exists in relationship to both (books and journal articles), plus coverage of building in the context of the neighborhood generated by the heavily armed militants living inside and patrolling the grounds in what has always been a quiet neighborhood of green lawns and comfortable homes - except for this one building. Presently usefully linked form several articles.

There are many sources that mention the building, but none about the building have been cited. That means the building doesn't satisfy our
guideline to qualify for its own encyclopedia article. —

There is
WP:SIGCOV in several of the sources now on the page. Also news articles about previous owners of the house.
E.M.Gregory (

Actually, there is zero coverage. The sources are all articles about other subjects that mention the house. Are there any sources about the house? Not its owners, not the neighborhood, not the murders or the hostage-taking, but the building itself? If not, it doesn't satisfy
WP:NGEO, no matter how many times you assert that it does. —

No matter how many times you repeat your opinion, the fact remains that the historic significance of this house is sourced to WP:INDEPTH is articles and a book chapter'; a place does not have to be the sole topic of a source as long as it contains SIGCOV.

Support - True, a place doesn't need to be the main topic of a body of work but it actually needs to be a topic. A good case has been made for
indepth sources related to incidents that just so happened to take place in and around the building but
notability is not inherited to everything in those said incidents. Malik Shabazz made a crucial point with this: "The sources are all articles about other subjects that mention the house. Are there any sources about the house?" If we look honestly at the sources, the answer is a definitive no.

Oppose - Per ongoing AfD discussion. Decide, either close this or the AfD discussion. WP:GNG applies here anyway, plus extensive sourcing.
