Lede
Lede should be expanded. There was an odd effort right now to cut it down to a sentence and a para. No Wikipedia rationale (talked about what was necessary - not our standard at all). --2604:2000:E010:1100:A401:62D4:B7DA:AE2 (talk) 05:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
- This is our best guidance on what should be included in these kinds of articles. Our guideline on what to include in article ledes also says that "[a]s in the body of the article itself, the emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources. Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article." It's therefore problematic to not only focus on small details such as specific rankings it's also a problem to do so when the body of the article doesn't include this information at all.
- Additionally, two of the rankings are completely outdated and shouldn't be included in this article at all unless you want to develop a historical overview of how the college has been ranked. ElKevbo (talk) 11:19, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
- So put only the current one in the body and reflect it in lede. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.14.54.128 (talk) 19:02, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
