Under the section of famous Villanovans the current vice president's wife completed her masters degree at Villanova. In the fraternaties section Sigma Chi is not a frat at 'Nova.

Hi @ GuardianH, thanks for your help with this article, it is getting much better. Let me ask you a question about detailed topographical campus descriptions and puffery. I like the way you deleted the completely unsourced Villanova campus descriptions. Which criteria do you apply? A lot of higher ed articles have this kind of puff. When does a building become siginificant, when does a campus green merit inclusion in Wikipedia? These are some of my questions. -- Melchior2006 ( talk) 06:25, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
Do not leave unsourced or poorly sourced material in an article if it might damage the reputation of living people or existing groups, and do not move it to the talk page). I believe academic boosterism and puffery damages a university's reputation, as it sets an unrealistic standard for the subject in question, not to mention also that readers on Wikipedia are much more perceptive than we take them to be, and can themselves distinguish puffery in an article which reflects very poorly of the institution or alumni.
He seems notable enough for me. 2601:204:CF81:EC80:FDC3:1112:D18:4B5D ( talk) 14:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
