[edit] Greek Life at Central Missouri

Greek Life at Central Missouri (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A much-too-long treatise on a subject of miniscule notability at best. (It's longer than the main article about the school.) No sources at all, unable to verify, not encyclopedic in tone, and it simply doesn't belong at Wikipedia. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. As per sound arguments in nomination. WWGB (talk) 06:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete/merge per WP:IINFO and WP:SPLIT. Doesn't even resemble a Wikipedia article in its current form, and there's no reason it should ever have been split off from the school's article. Any info that may be salvaged can be placed back at University of Central Missouri. Oren0 (talk) 07:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#DIR. Keeping a directory of Greek houses on campus is the job of the university. --Dhartung | Talk 08:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I am the creator of the article. I simply separated it from University of Central Missouri article for the same reasons you have given. It is too long. The POV is less than professional.

I simply got it out of the way and figured the author of the original content could deal with it. I have done a lot of work on the Central Missouri pages and follow their edits closely. BUT I am not one the wikipedians who knows every rule ever created on here....I am simply a guy trying to help out.

You said there is no reason it should ever be split off from the school's main article, but then you say it is too long. Which one is it? You can't have it both ways here. Either the content needs to be deleted -- regardless of location-- or it needs a professional edit. For something that long to be on the article for a university is atrocious. For that same reason I did a separate article for UCM Athletics.NeelyCrenshaw (talk) 15:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

At most, a simple list of Greek organizations should be included in the main school article. At least, delete entirely. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I can add a list of greek organizations under 'Greek Life', and that should appease the original content supplier and us. - NeelyCrenshaw (talk) 21:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. Do it, let us know when you're through, and we can set up the redirect from this article and close the AfD. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
