One secondary source is a minor mention from an architectural overview of a whole city. Otherwise there is pretty much no independent coverage of the gates. Josefaught (talk) 01:54, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Brown University, it appears to be something that could enrich that article. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 01:56, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Royal Autumn Crest. I agree, at least some of the article content could be added to Brown University. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 04:07, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep @Trainsandotherthings and Royal Autumn Crest: I have added a number of sources; these easily pass the threshold for independent coverage. Regarding notability, CNN describes the gates as "iconic"[1]. I would like to note that this deletion request is clearly inappropriate retaliatory behavior by Josefaught, which operates as an ostensible sockpuppet account.

• Keep Not every Brown landmark is notable, but the Van Wickle Gates are, just as much as Princeton's FitzRandolph Gate and Harvard's Johnston Gate. They are a historic, significant symbol of Brown University. - Kzirkel (talk) 20:44, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
