Globalization
editThis is currently the only article on Wikipedia for criticism of college rankings. The (North America)
was added in 2007 to reflect the article's content. I don't think Wikipedia should have multiple articles for criticism split by country (there's not enough to say about the topic for that), so I'd suggest we remove the "North America" again. If there is criticism in other countries, {{Globalize}} should be added. If not, we can just note in the lead that most of the criticism is from North America. Thoughts? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Criticism of college and university rankings (2007 United States) into Criticism of college and university rankings (North America)
editPer WP:NOTNEWS, I'm not sure we need an entire separate article just going into all the details of 2007. One article on criticisms of rankings should be enough. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:30, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Oppose, on the grounds that there is enough referenced material to support independent notability; 2007 seems to have been a particularly contentious year.Klbrain (talk) 07:24, 14 February 2021 (UTC)- 2007 was an active year, but it can be covered perfectly well in the main article, which already contains massive overlap (see WP:CONTENT FORK) and shares this article's struggle to abide by WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Fair enough; hopefully someone can trim it in its new home ...
