Draft talk:Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lucknow

Proposed merge of Lucknow University with Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lucknow

List already exists there, no such need for standalone list. Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 14:53, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@User4edits I understand your point, but the existing list lacks proper citations and comprehensive details. Therefore, creating a standalone page is essential to include all relevant information. I'm currently researching news archives and various articles to ensure accurate details for each Vice-Chancellor. There are also similar pages for other Vice-Chancellors on Wikipedia, which shows that this addition is not irrelevant. Raghav 1048 (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand the proposal. Lucknow University is not a list, it looks like a regular WP:redirect redirect (broken by the current merge hatnote). Викидим (talk) 18:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Викидим Hi, I appreciate your feedback regarding the proposal for the Lucknow University page. While I understand that it may currently seem like a redirect, I believe a standalone page is necessary. The existing list lacks proper citations and comprehensive details, which are crucial for historical accuracy.

I’m actively researching news archives and various sources to ensure that each Vice-Chancellor's information is accurate and well-documented. Similar pages exist for other Vice-Chancellors on Wikipedia, which underscores the relevance of this addition.

A dedicated page would not only enhance the content but also improve the overall quality of information available to readers. I welcome any further discussion on this matter.

Thank you! Raghav 1048 (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I simply do not understand why the list of vice-chancellors should have a title Lucknow University. I have no position on the merits of the proposed list whatsoever. Викидим (talk) 19:20, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Викидим I understand the concern regarding the title "Lucknow University" for the list of Vice-Chancellors. However, naming the list this way directly ties it to the institution, providing context and relevance for readers seeking information specifically about its leadership history.

The list is an important aspect of the university's legacy, showcasing the individuals who have shaped its direction over time. Having a dedicated title ensures that users can easily find this information in relation to the university itself, rather than it being buried within a broader context.

I believe that this focused approach enhances clarity and accessibility, which is in line with Wikipedia's mission to provide comprehensive and well-organized information. I appreciate your engagement on this matter and look forward to finding a resolution that respects the university's historical significance.

We have WP:TITLE so that the idea of (apparently) renaming a list of vice-chancellor into Lucknow University will not fly. As a part of new page patrol, I would therefore remove the merge hatnote from the latter, restoring the redirect. Викидим (talk) 21:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Викидим, for your feedback. I understand WP and the rationale for keeping the main "Lucknow University" page separate. However, I believe that having a separate page for the "List of Vice-Chancellors of Lucknow University" adds value by providing specific historical and administrative information about the university's leadership, which may not be appropriate to cover in detail on the main page.

The list serves as a useful standalone resource for those interested in the university's governance history. I would appreciate reconsideration of the merge hatnote removal to support a dedicated page for this content. If there are any concerns or guidelines I may have overlooked, I am open to suggestions to ensure compliance with Wikipedia's standards. Raghav 1048 (talk) 08:50, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
