Talk:Royal college

“Royal College” nonsense
So some enthusiastic Indians seem pretty persistent on adding their own section of this article just called “India” and then adding this college simply called “Royal College” to it. I’m not convinced this college is a “Royal college” as it was established in 66’ like a decade and a half after Indian’s loss of commonwealth status. This article should have a lock on itand I don’t have admin privileges anymore. This is just an update on what’s going on here. Chuckski4 (talk) 05:29, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

King's College (Columbia University)
Even the "Columbia Wiki'" concedes that the charter of 1754 was merely a provincial grant, issued by Lieutenant Governor (and acting Governor) De Lancy. Neither such a charter nor the institutional name made King's College a "royal college". Columbia has sufficient glory not to need to concoct phantasy.

The only royal foundation within the present borders of the United States is the College of William and Mary, which did indeed receive a true royal charter from the then English monarchs. Columbia should be removed from this list. Firstorm (talk) 21:27, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Original research?
This article appears to be based on a definition of 'royal college' that has been invented by Wikipedia editors (the only source given being one that has been tagged as failed verification since January 2019). Unless an actual source can be found that says that any college with 'royal' in the name is known as a 'royal college', this would appear to be original research and should be removed per WP:No original research. There's certainly support for the use of the term to refer to the medical royal colleges (e.g. ), but there's already a separate article for those. Robminchin (talk) 00:04, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * There hasn't been any improvement in the last two years, so I'm going to blank and redirect this page to medical royal college per WP:ATD-R. Robminchin (talk) 02:01, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
