Lead section
This prompt about the lead section has been up for 10 months. Should more info be added to the lead? If so, what? Alternatively, should the prompt be deleted? At this point, I would suggest just deleting the prompt. Tulane is a major, secular, private university located in New Orleans, LA; what more than that would really be needed in the lead? Perhaps it is worth noting the geographic origins of the students? That seems to be the only noteworthy thing that would warrant being added to the lead. 64.111.73.41 (talk) 02:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * In my opinion the prompt should remain and more info should be added to the lead, since it's very skimpy. From WP:UNIGUIDE, the lead


 * "should include basic information: the name(s) of the institution, location (city name; describe multiple campuses if present), founder and founding name, and affiliation with any larger university system or major local affiliate network, if applicable. Give other names for which the university may be known (e.g. Cal) and bold them, too. Use italic text for names that aren't in English. A thumbnail sketch of the dominant and distinguishing characteristics should be given in the lead, and expanded later. Attributes should include public/private, coeducational/single-sex, 2/4-year, religious affiliation if applicable, and type (liberal arts college, multi-school university, vocational school, research institution, community college, etc.). It should be mentioned whether it is an undergraduate-only institution, or if graduate programs are present (and if so, specific stand-alone programs like medical, law, and divinity schools should be mentioned). Do not include images in the lead; they should be placed elsewhere. The lead should not include information not covered in the main body of the article. Summarize the rest of the article without giving undue weight to any particular section (such as rankings) and mention distinguishing academic, historical, or demographic characteristics. The lead should be a concise summary of the entire article – not simply an introduction (emphasis added)."


 * Lots of college articles of comparable size and history have 4 lead paragraphs, whereas this has only 1. There's room for improvement here.Contributor321(talk) 04:03, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Along with another user I've built this out to now have 4 full paragraphs. 12.206.98.253 (talk) 05:38, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
