উইকিপিডিয়া:কলেজ এবং বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় নিবন্ধ পরামর্শ: সংশোধিত সংস্করণের মধ্যে পার্থক্য

* '''Navigation templates''' – Some major universities have enough related articles that they create [[WP:NAV|navigation templates]] to allow users to navigate through them. Universities may also be members of athletic conferences, research consortia, or other types of organizations which have navigation templates as well. All navigation templates should be placed at the very end of the article.

 

When university pages become too large or too comprehensive it may be beneficial to break off certain sections into sub-pages. When this happens, a [[WP:SS|summary style]] should be used in the institution's article. Occasionally these sub-articles can become excellent as well (see [[Campus of Michigan State University]] and [[Georgia Tech traditions]]). Which articles are notable will depend on the [[WP:NOTABLE|criteria for notability]] as well as the following criteria:

 

Separate articles explaining a college or university's ''history'' ([[History of Texas A&M University]]), ''campus'' ([[Campus of Michigan State University]]), and ''[[alumni]]'' ([[List of Athabasca University people]] – see [[#Lists|lists advice above]]) must still fulfill the notability policy of receiving significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the university. Such articles are generally notable only at large institutions or institutions where one of these aspects is especially important or significant. Smaller institutions with historical significance (like [[Harvard University]]) are an example of this exception.

 

Separate sports articles for institutions which have large sports programs are acceptable (i.e. [[Division I (NCAA)|Division I]] in the United States, and well-known programs elsewhere). Again, sports programs at large institutions or those which are significant may also have their own sub-article. For some larger sports program articles it is acceptable to create additional sub-articles for specific sports ([[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football]]), seasons ([[2007 Appalachian State Mountaineers football team]]), and, although rare, games ([[2007 Appalachian State vs. Michigan football game]]) so long as they fulfill the notability policy of receiving significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the university.

 

If an institution's [[faculty (university)|faculties]], constituent academic colleges, or academic departments are especially notable or significant they may have their own dedicated article (e.g. [[Jesus College, Oxford]], [[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania]]). In general these organizations are '''not notable''' (see [[WP:ORG]]) and should not be split off from the main institution article in the absence of significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. If some faculties or academic colleges have significance and others do not, it may be the case that the institution's academic programs as a whole are notable. In this case it may be acceptable to create a separate academics article (see [[Michigan State University academics]], [[Colleges of the University of Oxford]])

 

Student life and university traditions articles are generally '''not notable''' unless they are sufficiently unusual that they have received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the university. Some articles satisfy this criterion ([[Fightin' Texas Aggie Band]] and [[Georgia Tech traditions]]). Wikipedia is not a place for [[WP:CRUFT|cruft]] and university-related articles. Also, per [[WP:ORG]], [[students' union]]s/organizations/governments should only have their own article if they are independently notable. This means that they:

<blockquote> Have been the subject of coverage in [[secondary source]]s. Such sources must be [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]], and independent of the subject. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. Once notability is established, [[primary source]]s may be used to add content. Ultimately, and most importantly, [[WP:PROVEIT|all content must be attributable]].</blockquote>
