GLO laundry lists

@Geolojoey lists of Greek institutions are better placed on list pages, since their content relevance for an encyclopedia is marginal. Also, there is not enough reliable documentation about them. Most Wikipedia editors agree that rote listings of Greek institutions are not helpful if there is no sourcing from outside the college's or university's homepage or the fraternity's own circle. If you can prove that one or more of the Greek houses is significant, then pls do so, but for the most part, individual houses fall under WP:UNDUE. That is, they are not significant enough for an encyclopdia. Here is an example of the lists, which are more appropriate. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Melchior2006 Will delete, I undid your previous revision because it broke a few sections of the page. Geolojoey (talk) 02:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Excessive detail about dorms

There is W:UNDUE detail about the dorms. Some of the writing reads like a sales catalogue. If the dorms do not have some special architectural or historical significance, we don't need them in the article. See WP:Laundry_list. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 06:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Agree, and will support trimming or removing the section. Donald Albury 14:34, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
The first dorms each respective campus opened each have some historical significance, as opening those dorms provided housing to each campus for the first time, so at least those should each be mentioned. 131.247.224.178 (talk) 19:32, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
