John Jay Article

[edit]

Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw your edit. Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up. Anyway, it is dedicated to Criminal Justice, hence the college's name (John Jay College of Criminal Justice). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.108.33 (talk • contribs) 22:16, November 4, 2021 (UTC)

Why ask to delete the Robert Cherry Award Page

[edit]

Why are you asking for the page to be deleted just because your edits were reverted. You had no reason to remove a large section of the page. Now removing the page is highly misguided! No wonder I neither donate or contribute to Wikipedia. Be kind! 2607:FE50:0:6100:606A:9A98:7FCE:4BE1 (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My nomination for deletion has little to do with the recent editing history at the article. What the recent edits led me to do is look into the award and the reliable sources that describe it - that showed me that there simply isn't sufficient, substantive coverage in reliable sources to justify an article. If the article is deleted and more sources are published in the future, the article can certainly be created at that time. ElKevbo (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion regarding the Academic background divider in Template:Infobox academic

[edit]

ElKevbo, you might be interested in a discussion currently ongoing at Template talk:Infobox academic about the possibility of reformatting the template without the Academic background divider. GuardianH (talk) 23:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eight Schools Association notability

[edit]

Hello, I'm curious about whether the Eight Schools Association page meets the AfD criteria but I wanted to consult with someone else before potentially initiating an AfD. The member schools are highly notable, but I don't think there is a single outside source in the article supporting the association's notability and based on the article itself it looks like the ESA's organized efforts petered out around 2010. The one thing I can find on Google News is that in 2015, the Associated Press called the ESA a prep school equivalent of the Ivy League, which a number of other sources then incorporated. See AP in the Guardian (CBS has a dupe, NYDN has a dupe, Business Insider attributes this to the AP). Will you let me know what you think? Namelessposter (talk) 01:31, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing very much, either. There are some mentions in academic sources included in Google Scholar but they appear to be passing mentions and not the kind of substantive material we need for an article.
Good luck! ElKevbo (talk) 03:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. I'm not sure I'm the right person to initiate this since I edit the ESA member schools' pages ... not infrequently. I will leave a notability maintenance tag on the page and see if someone a little more removed is willing to initiate. Namelessposter (talk) 04:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Opened a request for assistance at Talk:Eight Schools Association#Notability tag. Thanks for confirming that there's something to this. Namelessposter (talk) 04:23, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

College of wooster edits

[edit]

@ElKevbo wanted to see logic behind restoring edits to the notable alumni main page? Trying to make that page more accurate with the most relevant/notable alumni. Some of the ones listed there are little known or IMHO haven't had significant enough accomplishments to be on the selected alumni grouping. They are still listed on the notable people linked page.

New to editing so happy to hear any feedback/reasoning. FScot66 (talk) 16:08, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those people (a) are notable by Wikipedia standards as they have their own standalone articles and (b) appear to be genuinely related to the college. In the absence of a clear consensus among editors about what criteria are being used to determine which notable people are included in the article and which notable people are excluded, it seems reasonable to err on the side of inclusion. I am especially worried that some editors might want to exclude some notable alumni simply because they believe that those alumni paint the college in a negative light; that, of course, is not an acceptable reason to make any edits in Wikipedia.
You are welcome to open a discussion in the article's Talk page to get input from other editors! You are also welcome to examine those specific articles and nominate one or both of them for deletion if you think that the subjects are not notable. ElKevbo (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
