Laundry Lists of Greek Organizations[edit]

@User:Wtzjr: lists of Greek institutions are better placed on list pages, since their content relevance for an encyclopedia is marginal. Also, there is not enough reliable documentation about them. Most Wikipedia editors agree that rote listings of Greek institutions are not helpful if there is no sourcing from outside the Hampden–Sydney homepage or the fraternity's own circle. In this case, the sourcing is particularly bad... all from the sam H-S site. If you can prove that one or more of the Greek houses is significant, then pls do so, but for the most part, individual houses fall under WP:UNDUE. That is, they are not significant enough for an encyclopdia. Here is an example of the lists, which are more appropriate. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 05:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll take that as: "I agree, go ahead and streamline." -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:17, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
