List of university presidents
What do readers gain from reading a list of university presidents with no context or explanation? "University has had presidents" is not helpful or interesting information. ElKevbo (talk) 03:10, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with your point that, what do we intend? To remove all such lists from all the bloated University pages?  However, I'd suggest that this section be demoted toward the bottom of the article. Like others place it. Jax MN (talk) 04:08, 2 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I think It would also help to convert the table to a bullet list. Tables are more intrusive and draw more attention to themselves. Indyguy (talk) 14:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, it would be good to remove similar lists of names that have no context or explanatory power from other articles. No, if there is a consensus to keep this information in the article then it should not be relegated to a disparate section at the end of the article; this (disconnected and unexplained) is clearly part of the institution of the history so it belongs in that section.
