Talk:Dartmouth College student groups

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I created this page and Dartmouth College athletic teams persuant to a suggestion I had made at Talk:Dartmouth College. Due partially to the fact that a Dartmouth professor assigns Wikipedia writing as a project in one of his courses, Dartmouth College often has a rich diversity of stubby articles on various student groups and teams. These often get VfD by deletionists, and then merged into Dartmouth College as a compromise. This began to lead to a rather cluttered main article. Accordingly, as a middle ground between "one catch-all page" and "lotsa little nuggets", I've made these two spin-offs. Doops | talk 04:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] merge in?

I've never had the stomach for Vfd/merge battles. But, for purely informational purposes, I'll start a list below of possible candidate pages to be merged into this one. Doops | talk 04:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

• Dartmouth Final Cut - merged
• The dartmouth seven - deleted
• Te@ - deleted
• Gamma Delta Chi - keep as its own article - AfD precedent set that local fraternities may have their own articles (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alpha_Chi_Alpha)

[edit] Article size / split it up?

This article is getting pretty massive. The table of contents doesn't even fit on my 1280x800 screen. Would it be worthwhile to split it up a bit? For example, keep miscellaneous organizations in here, but create new articles Dartmouth College publications and Dartmouth College musical groups, which would both be linked into here in a similar fashion as Dartmouth College Greek organizations is now. What do other editors think of doing something like this? --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK ^┐ 18:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed -- I plan on starting separate articles for the senior and undergraduate societies. Schi 17:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
