Delta Tau Delta Alcohol Incident Section edit
Preemptively making this topic since the last edit involving it is implied some level of potential censorship involved in the reinstating of the information.
While it is well-referenced, I don't believe that the information as it current stands fits within the context and/or flow of the section. Other than being related to fraternities at Wabash, it departs significantly from the previous paragraphs' context. It's also rather short, again adding to its jarring effect.
Additionally, it is not consistent with how other pages handle similar incidents. For example, Purdue University#Campus_life and Butler_University#Student_life make no mention of controversies involving fraternities, even significant ones. Also, DePauw_University#Campus_life mentions a significant controversy, however it is split off into its own section.
I think this information likely fits better within the Delta Tau Delta page. There are other controversies involving fraternities at Wabash that are not mentioned on the page, but are mentioned within the fraternity page, see Phi Gamma Delta#Local_chapter_or_member_misconduct.
The only reason I can find to potentially keep it is that it is a controversy which resulted in a removal of a house, which is the same result as the DePauw section. However, I believe the other factors mentioned (brevity, jarring-ness, and other standard outlets available) outweigh this.
I will be removing the section and don't believe it should be reinstated unless it is given its own section & expanded. Xyban9 (talk) 20:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
