Name of Sponsor[edit]

The name of the sponsoring organization of the university is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tridentata.A (talk) 21:57, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, as stated in its first usage in the article. Please review MOS:LDS for current WP usage. This topic has been previously discussed and continues to be so at various article and talk locations....until changes are made through the WP consensus process, this should remain the use.

Proposed merge of Y Magazine into Brigham Young University[edit]

The alumni magazine is very questionably notable on its own, and can be covered in sufficient detail at the university's article per WP:PAGEDECIDE. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 06:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Seven out of the nine references are primary sources, and one of the others is just an article in local newspaper Deseret News (incidentallty also owned by the LDS Church though I think there's enough separation there to not count it as primary) with the other representing what I feel to be a WP:TRIVIALMENTION.

  • Support merge Pretty much all primary sources, not independently notable. AusLondonder (talk) 10:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unless someone can add additional, independent sources, this subject doesn't meet WP:GNG. And I don't know why we'd want to move that unsourced or poorly sourced information into this article. This subject doesn't merit more than a sentence or two in this article and they're already here. ElKevbo (talk) 13:49, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Ditto ElKevbo's comments. 2600:1700:1BD0:3FF0:824:3D66:DA9F:3D6E (talk) 00:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Even if it only merits a single sentence in BYU's article, that'd still make it preferable to redirect over delete (which we don't have authority to do here, as it requires an AfD nomination). I've come to the view that university articles generally should have a sentence on the house publication, since readers may come across it and wonder what its relationship to the university is. Sdkbtalk 01:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am completely amenable to adding a sentence to the main BYU article and making this a redirect - that's reasonable. ElKevbo (talk) 01:25, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with what other editors have pointed out and the fact that the current paragraph about the magazine already on this page is sufficient. The additional information on Y Magazine's page doesn't seem notable enough to merge over here. Maybe an extra sentence or two if absolutely necessary.
A redirect would also make sense. AstralNomad (talk) 07:39, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
