Talk:Columbia University traditions

This article was nominated for deletion on 7 October 2007. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Barnard Jokes

Please use this section to discuss the merits and demerits of the Barnard Jokes section of the article. This section is sourced and should not be constantly deleted. I am not so well versed in wikipedia, but I would like to know how to put a hold on someone who keeps deleting a section without disucssing it.

Since you are opening a discussion, here are links to the previous attempts to add jokes to the Columbia University article:

Removal of Barnard Jokes

RFC response

To summarize, every now and then an anonymous user, or a newly created user, tries to write an article featuring "Barnard Jokes," usually by copying a few jokes from the CU marching band website, with multiple links to that site. The "article" Barnard Jokes was deleted, for violating multiple Wikipedia guidelines, including a ban on hate articles, and a lake of importance. Ever since, an anonymous or new user tries to bring back the some of part of the deleted text into Wikipedia. First, into the main Columbia University article, and now to this sub article. In the process, that/those user(s) tried to prove the "tradition" of making fun of Barnard students by adding various links to outside sources. None of these sources demonstrates that a tradition exists, only that on a specific occasion, the marching band made jokes aimed at Barnard students (as well as other students at Columbia).

ILikeHowMuch, just because a few students made inappropriate jokes, does not make it a tradition. And the section or are tiring to add belongs, as another user put it, on MySpace, not in this encyclopedia. Please stop trying to add it to this, and other pages.
