The article Holland Hall has been listed as an article for deletion. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holland Hall. The discussion is moving towards merging it into University of Exeter. There seems to be no consideration of the fact that there are pages for five other Halls at Exeter and that University of Exeter Halls of Residence exists. The page was badly written and obvious vanity from a Holland Hall resident. I have have had an attempt to make it better. If you want to keep this article, and perhaps all the others on Halls at Exeter (and indeed the many articles on Halls elsewhere) go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holland Hall and vote to keep it. Give reasons. Votes without reasons are often ignored. I have done what I can, but I have no real interest in Exeter University. I just have an interest in articles on Halls and Colleges and came across this deletion notice by chance. -- Bduke 21:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I've nominated the article in question for a merge into this article. To be honest, I'm only doing this as a courtesy. I have a feeling it's going to be deleted eventually. I'm not sure that any of the Society article content has a place in this article, let alone its own. -- Maxamegalon2000 18:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
In support of the above, several of Exeter's Halls are the old family homes of historically important local families, and in the case of Reed Hall, is also the home to an early botanical Garden. I believe that interest in Halls of Residence goes beyond their connexion with a University. -- Dan 17:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

Is there any reason for some of the results in the table have the equals sign in front or behind them? If there is then it should probably be stated on the page so viewers can understand it's meaning; if not, would be worth taking them out. SiCoe ( talk) 13:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

This is generating both controversy and frankly a lot of ignorance in the media at the moment. If anyone wants to have a bash at sourcing this and keeping it accurate and bias free (which I may not be able to given my blog comments on this) this feel free to use the sites I've linked to in my blog posts on this matter:
In particular you'll find links to a site that's deeply critical of the UCCF doctrinal statement and challenges the assertion that it's just "what Christians believe". Timrollpickering 20:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
We need to tone down the CU sutff. This wiki is about Exeter University, but 1/4 of it is dedicated to the CU - an imbalancement to say the least.
While part of the University, the Guild is fully independent, and contains a large number of societies. Some of these societies are notable in their own right, such as Xpression FM and Exeposé. The Guild manages millions of pounds of facilities (shops, pubs, etc). Its management has sometimes been controversial within the University, and this year has come into the glare of the mainstream media with the Evangelical Christian Union disputes. I think the Students' Guild should be split into it's own entry. -- h2g2bob 15:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
guys, the university is undergoing a £235 million change, not £130 million (this is an old figure from last year - lets use the new one).
On 26 February 2007, the Guild issued a statement saying that Ben Martin is now willing to follow the Internal Complaints Procedure.[32]

Image:Xfilogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The statement about the 'earliest evidence of university education' dating back to 1225, is, I humbly submit, a load of wank, as none of the evidence supplied refers to a university. If contrary evidence is not supplied, it should be deleted.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.80.30.68 ( talk • contribs)
'A source could be forthcoming'. What kind of investigative rigor is that, Bduke? A source 'could be forthcoming' that Fred Astaire engaged in cannibalism, but that would be no grounds to put it on his Wikipedia article. About Oxford University - yes, this was specifically described as a 'universitas'. As for it being 'interesting', that is also a 'Loch Ness Monster' type criterion which has no relation to whether it's true or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.142.159 ( talk) 19:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, I do not think describing an entry as a load of wank is appropriate. As for Oxford, I am not at all sure that the first groups of scholars to go there were described as a 'universitas'. That is one reason why it is so difficult to point to an exact date of its foundation. There are few sources for the early scholars. Nevertheless I believe you are correct that St John's Hospital School had no resemblance to a university. The history here mentions nothing revelant. -- Bduke ( talk) 23:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm for sure that Zara Phillips actually studied at Exeter? When I enrolled in 2000 it was rumoured that she was due to arrive and study some equine related degree and stay in Mardon Hall where I was placed. That never occurred and I don't believe she ever enrolled.
Googling the subject often comes up with the same one liner of "Zara later enrolled at Exeter University and qualified as a physiotherapist" so I think most sites are just quoting off one another. One site lists her education as "Equine Physiotherapy from the University of Exeter" which is a course I am not even sure they offer.
Does anyone have any reliable information on this? HalfSugar ( talk) 00:34, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Edits that did not meet Wikipedia standards were removed by University of Exeter staff. In particular, they did not meet one of the 'Five Pillar's' of Wikipedia, namely that content should be neutral and that "personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong here", without at least indepedent references or citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richpb7 ( talk • contribs) 11:42, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to propose a significant restructure of this article. The article is quite inconsistent with other UK universities (see the Wikipedia entries for Durham, Southampton, Warwick, Kent, etc), and this makes the article difficult to make major revisions to. The article is in need of significant updating, most references date back to 2006/2007 or even before (with a few exceptions), e.g, 2001 RAE. So now would be a good time for restructure before making updates. I've already made some amendments to the intro section.
I've performed some sandbox testing, and these headings would be consistent with other articles, and allow a platform for modernisation. Most of the existing content could be moved quite easily into these headings. However, these are just my thoughts and this is not my article. So please share your views and opinions below.

The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, like this one.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:
