Christian Colleges → Christian college – The article should be in the singular, not the plural, with "college" in lower case because it is a common noun in this context. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals). -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.As the recent AFD mentions, the referencing here is very weak, though I'm sure more can be found pretty easily. The current ref 1 is a deadlink, ref 2 just goes to a page with links to other college pages. Ref 3, covering just the last sentence or two, is fine. Johnbod ( talk) 14:00, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
The following sentence is unsourced and highly suspect: "Non-Protestant colleges, such as Catholic colleges, which typically have a different educational philosophy than self-identifying Protestant colleges, tend not to self-identify with the term Christian college and instead emphasize their own specific tradition." I think this is just someone's opinion. Here are two web pages where Notre Dame is clearly referred to as a Christian college: http://www3.nd.edu/~afreddos/papers/solomon.htm and http://www.christianpost.com/news/religious-colleges-choose-not-to-recognize-secular-student-groups-60887/ I recommend that this sentence be deleted. -- Westwind273 ( talk) 03:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
I'm a little confused by this. The definition here is "In North America, the term Christian Colleges is the self-identification of certain private institutions of higher education that have an overt Christian mission statement and employ faculty who profess a Christian faith," but the citation, which is a dead URL, is just a link to the " Council for Christian Colleges and Universities - Members & Affiliates Criteria." That's not the definition of a Christian college in North America; that's the membership criteria for the CCCU, which includes colleges from all around the world. Is this really saying that Christian college just means being a member of CCCU? There are actually lots of colleges with Christian affiliations—e.g. Georgetown, Centre College, Kenyon College, Emory, DePauw—that aren't members of the CCCU.

George Fox University is not the largest Christian college in Oregon. The University of Portland is larger. If there is no objection, I will change the photo caption to say "George Fox University, a Christian college in Oregon." -- Westwind273 ( talk) 16:35, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
I propose merging Christian college with Christian University, as these two article are very related and similiar. Cloud29371 ( talk) 08:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
