Talk:Carson-Newman College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Tennessee, a WikiProject related to the U.S. state of Tennessee.

The section on controversy does not belong in an encyclopedia, unless someone's interested in writing a significant history on the school's relationship with the TBC.

Also, the athletic section should be expanded significantly, but for more than just football - a complete list of the school's championships would be appropriate for an encyclopedia.

A section on notable alumna/e would also be valuable. Ezratrumpet 17:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC) (CNC class of 1995)

I think that those sections that are already included, should be kept. The portion on the controversy is a valid portion of our school's history, Ezra.

What should also be included are the degrees offered, areas of interest, the campus layout, etc.

The TBC controversy isn't unique to CN. The section on the TBC controversy should be a separate article discussing the TBC's relationship with all of its educational institutions. That article should be linked from the CN wikipedia entry, with a neutral comment of the changing nature of the relationship. For that matter, the entry could use a long history section. --Ezratrumpet 18:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Other school controversies may deserve mention, too, such as the recently removed info on no-confidence vote in the Pres.

[edit] Deletions

The Netherton information should remain, and the TBC controversy should be rebuilt into the article. We can take this to arbitration, but this is the second time someone has tried to delete the Netherton information. I've a suspicion that the deletion is with good intentions, but it's an encyclopedia, not an admissions brochure. Ezratrumpet 01:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No need to assuage any sensitivities. The next step is protecting the article. Any anonymous edits that make that significant a change are politically motivated. The Netherton delete is the only edit credited to that IP. Ezratrumpet 02:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
