I don't know. But she is a highly notable professor, who should have a bio and be reflected here as well, IMO. See, for example, [1]--Epeefleche 14:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


That whole section in the beginning about Eugene Shendrow - does NOT belong in the beginning of an encyclopedia article about a college. It belongs in that college's brochure, so you should keep it there.

I disagree. See no reason why it does not belong. Pls refer to a Wiki policy to support your view.--Epeefleche 06:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
WP:SOAP The disputed piece is not encyclopedic, it is an advertisement. Please tell me a 4-year college who's student possibilities don't include a Rhodes Scholarship? The fact that a BC student got one is great, but are Harvard and Yale gonna write it on the front of their page? It seems to be a clear-cut case of self-promotion, re: Wikipedia is not a soapbox.Slapshot01j 23:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
You would not I imagine have a problem with reflection of the fact that the Twin's catcher won an award, I imagine. This is a reflection of an award being won by a student. Our college articles are repelete with mentions of awards being one. I'm not sure what you point is about self-promotion -- that is simply the sort of factual information that an encylopedia reports.
I will lay this argument to rest, but your logic would only seem to extend to Joe Mauer's wikipedia page - not the twins team. "Emblematic of the possibilities of being a twins player, Joe Mauer won the MVP." That makes no sense. He could have won it anywhere. The fact that he won the MVP, is noteworthy - but only on HIS wikipedia page. However, it says nothing encyclopedic about the twins. Thus, when Shenderov has a wikipedia page of his own, his Rhodes Scholarship should be prominently featured. I still fail to see why that piece belongs.Slapshot01j 05:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
So reword it to make Wikipedia better, don't delete it to make it worse. And no -- the Twins page can reflect Twins MVPs. One is not required to limit the Twins page to mentions of the team as a whole. Team pages are replete with mentions of indivuals, as are school pages.--Epeefleche 05:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
