Rerouted?

I have re-routed 'Yale College' to Yale College Wrexham, on the grounds that Yale College Wrexham really is a college. Yale University uses the collegiate system, but does not have a college called 'Yale College' so i feel this move is valid.

The disclaimer on the Yale College Wrexham page will re-direct people to the university, or to the yale disambiguation page.

Yale University is based around a residential college system, which is not the federation system found at Oxbridge that I assume you suggest. All undergrads are members of Yale College, the undergraduate division of the unviersity. lots of issues | leave me a message 09:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Tyng cup

Please merge any relevant content from Tyng cup per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyng cup. (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-03-01 10:45Z

Needs more explanation?

Yale University was founded in 1701 as the Collegiate School. Its name was changed to Yale College in 1718 in gratitude to a benefactor, Elihu Yale.

If it was called Yale X in 1701 and then changed to Yale Y in 1718, how is that renaming it for some guy called Yale at that point? If it had been a guy called Elihu College then that would make sense I guess... -- 81.150.229.68 13:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or not

A merge was suggested over a year ago. I agree this seems very redundant with Residential colleges of Yale University. But I would vote to merge the other direction; that is, merge the content here to the content there (it is already mostly a superset) and then replace with one with either a redirect to Yale University or perhaps redirect to Yale (disambiguation) so that we fix the links. The problem is that there seem to be dozens of biography articles that point here when they mean the historical yale University. W Nowicki (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They should not be merged. See examples of articles about undergraduate colleges: Harvard College and Columbia College. I agree this article is overweighted with information about the residential college system and suggest it be pared down. Nickknack00 (talk) 17:16, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
