[edit] Parietals

Parietals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It is an article about a rule only followed at the University of Notre Dame, thus it is not in the scope of notability for an encyclopedia. Phydend 17:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with University of Notre Dame. AlphaShroom 17:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

What about creating an article on rules similar to Parietals? i.e. College visiting hours or some such. Parietals is an idiosyncratic word for a common policy, and perhaps it has a role in a larger article on a such a topic (which at the moment doesn't exist).

There used to be a great many of them, and this word was indeed often used--Radcliffe for example I know used it, and an article would be nice, but I dont know about sources without needing to do the OR. Give it a try. If this article stays, start with it, If it gets deleted, try "Parietal rules" DGG 01:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with University of Notre Dame. This is not notable beyond the university community. Nuttah68 09:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge details to University of Notre Dame, concept to a new page. The extremely Notre-Dame-specific details should be summarized and merged into the page for the university, but I think there should also be an article on the concept of college visiting hours, with a mention of Notre Dame as a large university with a strict policy. Though many schools have relaxed or eliminated such rules, they're still fairly common, especially in schools with religious affiliations -- Carson-Newman College, for example, in addition to having limited visitation hours, requires that opposite-sex visitors register at the front desk and that the door of any room they're in be left open.

• Merge specifics, refocus on generics per Pinball22. A generation or two ago, these types of rules (even by the name "parietals") were quite common at many universities. DMacks 19:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Who would like to create the new article? Our main issue is sources. . . Starvingpoet 04:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Working with the real scattered and mostly pre-web sources is OR. What is needed is previous articles or books discussing this, and I think the way to find them is to stubbify the general part and have WPdians edit it in the usual way. We don't really sign up for articles, but they get written. Discussion of sources can go on the talk page, just as usual. I am beginning to think about the part on Parietals as seen in various media... DGG 04:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge controversy to NDU, subject to sources, as the citations are from student publications; Redirect to Parietal, to disambiguate. Ohconfucius 05:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
