Talk:Stockton University, New Jersey (CDP)

A CDP for a university should be separate from the university

 * Hi In my opinion, a CDP wikipage for a university/college campus is different from the entry for the actual university and should be separate. That is why we use a different infobox for CDPs which provides census-specific information including geographic information, coordinates, coordinates, elevation, population density, a FIPS code, and a GNIS ID (which enable bots to identify the geography and update certain parameters). The population of a CDP does not correspond to the composition of the student body at the university; rather it only refers to those who are permanent residents on campus. For geographic entities, the demographic composition of "residents" has little to do with the university and is best held on another page. I looked for guidance but I did not see any discussion in the help pages (in fact I cannot see any CDPs for universities in New Jersey other then the ones I created). Sometimes CDP geographies are different from the subject to CDP (e.g. military bases, islands...etc). It is best to keep a standard format with standard entries and refer back to the CDP page from the subject page. Do we really want to add more data for the CDP onto the page for the university? regarding households, marriages, income levels, poverty rates...etc Patapsco913 (talk) 19:23, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
