Campus buildings

The list of buildings takes up a lot of space, but much of this text is unreferenced and it is unclear whether some of the buildings have any historical or cultural significance. Simply listing names upon names of buildings is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. I propose deleting these sections if nothing changes. Melchior2006 (talk) 09:57, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since nobody has chimed in on this, I will delete. --Melchior2006 (talk) 19:32, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that much of the info was promotional, @Melchior2006; thanks for removing! I'm not sure all the removals were justified — Pitzer is a very small college, so if we are envisioning what would be needed to make it a FA someday, a robust campus section would probably mention important facilities like the dining hall. But if they are to be mentioned, they should be concisely and without promotionalism. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 08:18, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Any notable athletes?

I'm trying to set up Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens#Notable athletes to transclude. Getting List of Pomona College people#Athletes has been straightforward enough, but List of Pitzer College people doesn't currently have any athletes, and a PetScan query seems to indicate Wikipedia may not currently have any articles on notable athletes who went to Pitzer. It'd be helpful to have at least one, just to set up the transclusion system. Any possibilities that'd meet WP:NATHLETE? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"a peaceful spot for students to relax"

This is boosterism, a charming description of a grassy spot on campus. But it isn't relevant for an encyclopedia. I propose deleting it. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 09:08, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:John R. Rodman

I saw a draft for Draft:John R. Rodman. He was affiliated with the college for over three decades. Thriley (talk) 20:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found and added refs to establish Rodman's notability. That's as much as I have time for at the moment. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
