Wikipedia is not a directory

edit

Please read WP:NOTDIRECTORY and Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_advice#Academics_(or_Academic_profile), which states Because Wikipedia is not a directory, do not attempt to list every major, degree, or program offered in this or any section. It may be appropriate to highlight some of the areas of study, but it's not appropriate to exhaustively list all of them. OhNoitsJamie Talk 11:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know! I get where you're coming from about keeping Wikipedia tidy. I agree that we should focus on the important stuff and keep things concise. I was planning to tweak the article later to make sure it meets Wikipedia's rules. With the course info totally gone, the article feels a bit incomplete. Maybe we can find a middle ground on what to include. Thanks again for bringing this up! Green Adogu (talk) 12:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Higher_education/Accomplishments includes some featured articles and good articles that you can use as examples of how to incorporate information about academic programs without violating WP:NOT. It probably makes the most sense to look at good articles about small to medium-sized universities such as Lafayette College, Lindenwood University, University of the Philippines Los Baños.
