University department section fits better in university's own article, rather than separately. Tacyarg (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - While this page needs much better sourcing and formatting, it is independently notable from the university. Isingness (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or improve - the Faculty of Health article is seriously short of citations, to the extent that it would probably not survive an AfD without a major face-lift. It could be that such a face-lift is possible, in which case that would be an alternative to merging. It can't stand separately in its current form though. Zerotalk 00:42, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or improve. I had independently come to the same conclusion as User:Zero0000. Narky Blert (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - subject meets notability criteria. Other faculties have their articles (Business, Glendon, Engineering and Law) and other subject lower on the hierarchy and less-known have their articles: such as Las Nubes Rainforest Preserve or Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies. On the other hand, the article could use more well-sourced information.--Jetam2 (talk) 11:53, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Transit section removal[edit]

This was removed as "advertorial". It seems to me to be both relevant and useful information that it would be quite likely many readers would come to this article specifically in search of. I can see thinking it would be more appropriate to the Keele Campus article, but to get rid of it altogether seems over the top. 207.107.159.242 (talk) 23:11, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it can be kept, but all promotionalism should be excised before re-adding similar content. Isingness (talk) 00:43, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Addition to Controversies Section[edit]

I think this article about a York University faculty member being fired for anti-Semitic social media posts is relevant and should be included. This individual is not a student, but a faculty member of York University. Therefore his actions represent the university as he is employed by them. Does anyone agree or disagree with including this article? Input is welcome. [1]

Thanks for opening the discussion! As you can see from my edits, I am opposed to including this information. We have to be very selective about what we include in this article and this seems like just a one-off event without significant or lasting importance for the university. If it develops into something more then of course we can revisit the issue and reconsider it. ElKevbo (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Undue weight[edit]

@Sportsfan 1234: You reverted my edit of adding antisemitism to student life for being WP:UNDUE. [1] I included about 14 different independent and reliable sources. This is more than literally the entire rest of the student life section. Could you elaborate on your issues so I can address them?
