Greek life

This section is unusual for an article about big universities. The contents about Greek life are unreferenced and since it is just a rote list of various fraternities and sororities without any further detail, I question whether there is any useful information being shared here. I propose deletion. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 13:29, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one chimed in on this one, I will go ahead and streamline. --Melchior2006 (talk) 15:46, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved per WP:SNOW, considered in the context of the 100+ RMs proposed at once by this user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Binghamton University → SUNY Binghamton – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:35, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:43, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and unhelpful for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:31, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:07, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as "Binghamton University" is the WP:COMMONNAME and the title that most accurately meets WP:PRECISE. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo. Vmanjr (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
