I'll review this one. I hope to have my initial assessment ready soon. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this is a quick fail: there are too many unreferenced paragraphs and even a few sections have no references. This problem was already pointed out in an earlier GA review. I've added various "Citation needed"-tags to highlight the problem. This should really be addressed before the next nomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

A few other things that caught my eye:

Prose

 * It has been ranked as among the best public universities: remove "as"
 * Purdue faculty, students, alumni and other affiliates have reached: add Oxford comma after "alumni"
 * Its alumni have included 26 astronauts, 6 current Fortune 500 CEOs, 2 Rhodes Scholars, 4 Truman Scholars and 3 Gates Scholars.: add Oxford comma after "Truman Scholars"
 * Purdue University announced plans to acquire for-profit college Kaplan University: add "the" after "acquire";
 * But some time in the 1910s the teams became segregated, and remained: remove comma after "segregated"
 * This area also includes the Krannert School of Management, Horticulture Gardens, Discovery Park, Lyles Porter Hall and the Purdue Airport.: add Oxford comma after "Lyles Porter Hall"

 * There are currently no edit wars.
 * The article contains various duplicates links (see WP:DUPLINK) like Frederick L. Hovde, Lafayette, Indiana, West Lafayette, Indiana, Purdue Memorial Union, John Purdue, Purdue University Airport, and Ross–Ade Stadium.
 * Some cases of WP:OVERCITE:
 * Purdue has over 400,000 living alumni. Its alumni have included 26 astronauts, 6 current Fortune 500 CEOs, 2 Rhodes Scholars, 4 Truman Scholars and 3 Gates Scholars.[14][15][16][17][18][19]
 * There are also a few campus radio stations on campus. Currently, three radio stations operate from residence halls, broadcasting via internet only; WCCR from Cary Quadrangle (not to be confused with the current WCCR FM or WCCR-LP stations in other states), WILY from Wiley Hall, and WHHR from Harrison Hall.[145][146][147][148]
