[edit] Format

I created this list simply as a way to save space on the NIU main article. Before anyone puts too much time and effort into the article, I suggest updating the format to mirror FLs List of Dartmouth College alumni and List of Dartmouth College faculty, splitting the people page into two and using the sortable tables. --Eustress (talk) 21:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't really see a need to split this into two pages. I don't think NIU has that many notable faculty to have a second page for its own list. --Pinkkeith (talk) 02:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. What do you think about the tables? --Eustress (talk) 03:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I've never been a fan of tables, but it seems to be the way that most Wikipedians like to organize lists. Besides, the templates will make uniformity with all the lists. --Pinkkeith (talk) 15:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
