Talk:List of vice-chancellors of the University of Sydney

I wonder if this could be expanded slightly and moved to Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, as per Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University. As well as being a bit more informative, it should also help to protect the article against misguided mergists. Ambi 07:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The lead para on Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University doesn't really tell the reader anything over what they could've learnt from the Vice-Chancellor and Chancellor articles - it's pretty generic, and not at all specific to ANU. I'm not swayed either way as to whether we should do the same thing for this article. But I'll see if I can dig up additional info on this. enochlau (talk) 09:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if nothing else, it'll help keep the mergists from trying to stuff this into University of Sydney. :) Ambi 10:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If they were really intent on merging this into University of Sydney, they'd merge the lead para as well :P enochlau (talk) 11:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But you raise a good point, why does this need an article as opposed to a section on the Sydney Uni page? Don't just laugh off the merging argument. Unless this page is going to get an awful lot of text added, there's no reason for it to be a separate entry to the university's. Food for thought. Harro5 06:43, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Summary articles aren't meant to be filled up with lists. This can be turned into a neat little article, while preventing an inevitable objection should University of Sydney ever come up for FAC. Ambi 06:54, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, keep the University of Sydney article as a summary article. Inevitably, if we merge it into the University article, when that gets too long, we'll have to split chunks back out again. There are also quite a few lists of things related to the University of Sydney now, and merging them all back in would be impractical. But ok, I'll add a lead para. enochlau (talk) 07:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
