Staff[edit]

So I added a staff listing (useful information) and it was deleted as a vanity link. I'm a bit unclear as to why that was. Comments? User:dkaszor

A student newspaper's staff change annually, and with extremely rare exceptions aren't notable outside the university campus itself. Bearcat 17:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By that logic, the list of board members should be removed as well, as it also changes anually. But I'm too lazy to actually do it myself. User:nick.wiebe

Proposed merger[edit]

The paper is a significantly large enough precence on campus to warrent a separate page, no need for a merge. User:dkaszor

I don't support a merge; this has been discussed before (as a general issue, not specifically pertaining to The Gateway) and I remain of the opinion that student newspapers are as legitimately notable as any other publication. Any other newspaper or magazine with a per-issue circulation of 11,000 would be allowed an article, so I don't see why student newspapers should be held to a different standard.

Editors-in-chief[edit]

I deleted the listing of the editor-in-chief history, but my edit was reverted. As such, I figure we should debate the matter here. I consider the section to be ugly, irrelevant, non-notable, disproportionately large, and only for vanity purposes. Gateway editors are typically not notable outside of campus, the editor-in-chief included. If anyone can provide a decent reason for leaving the information in, I'll oblige. Otherwise, If I get no response, I'll delete the section again.--96.52.132.224 (talk) 06:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think its really interesting to add the Editors-in-chief history section! I think it adds to the history of the journal and enhances the overall article YamYamRulez (talk) 23:06, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
