Split proposal edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

There's a proposal within a checklist at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/NRHP articles needing attention to split out Old Scripps Building, the National Historic Landmark, from this page. Currently Old Scripps Building is a redirect to this page. I happen to think that the coverage of Old Scripps Building within this page is fine, and that it doesn't need splitting out. At least not unless the section on it grew to be a lot bigger. doncram (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oops, already split it out :) dm (talk) 23:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rather than the current laundry list with no description? dm (talk) 12:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

how do you define someone as noteable?72.25.108.51 (talk) 18:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

An excellent question, but one I will carefully avoid by saying, "if they are already in wikipedia and survived the deletionists". I'm more worried about the article looking like a laundry list than I am about any one of the names and whether they should be in wikipedia at all. dm (talk) 02:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

so you are suggesting a short bio after each name? Mbaha (talk) 13:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

my thought is to take the laundry list and move it to an actual list article. Then work into the article text any names which should be there. dm (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

SIO in film edit

The setting of the film The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues is a fictional research institution called the Pacific College of Oceanography. It looks sort of like a 1950s era Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Does anyone know if the fictional research institution is based on the real research institution?-Schnurrbart (talk) 00:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
