message: A translation from the French article of the same name is in process; I will be merging the translation and this article soon. Just a heads up; if you'd like to see how it is progressing see User:Tamarkot/Sorbonne. Thanks! Tamarkot 22:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that the French Wikipedia (and the translation you are working on) is confusing the University of Paris and the Sorbonne, which are not the same thing. This article is supposed to explain that and refer the reader to the correct articles for each relevant topic. u p p l a n d 04:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, I have refactored this page and moved some stuff to other articles (see the page history). I hope the purpose of this page is clearer now. u p p l a n d 07:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation in Progress

message: I understand Sorbonne is pronounced "sore bun." If so, it's a fitting name for a university. A sore bun is all I've gotten out of university education. User: Constantine XIII129.93.17.117 (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are referring to your buttocks and you are unlike the old woman in Candide, there are two. So which bun did your university education make sore, the right or the left? 68.113.148.18 (talk) 09:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: The Name

message: I attempted to add a short section on Sorbonne as a site in relation to May 1968 and it has been removed. Here is how it read:
MAY 1968
Following months of conflicts between students and authorities at the University of Paris at Nanterre, the administration shut down that university on 2 May 1968. Students at the Sorbonne University in Paris met on 3 May to protest against the closure and the threatened expulsion of several students at Nanterre. On Monday, 6 May, the national student union, the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF) — still the largest student union in France today — and the union of university teachers called a march to protest against the police invasion of Sorbonne. More than 20,000 students, teachers and supporters marched towards the Sorbonne, still sealed off by the police, who charged, wielding their batons, as soon as the marchers approached. While the crowd dispersed, some began to create barricades out of whatever was at hand, while others threw paving stones, forcing the police to retreat for a time. The police then responded with tear gas and charged the crowd again. Hundreds more students were arrested.
Negotiations broke down, and students returned to their campuses after a false report that the government had agreed to reopen them, only to discover the police still occupying the schools.
When the Sorbonne reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous "people's university". In the weeks that followed, approximately 401 popular action committees were set up in Paris and elsewhere to take up grievances against the government and French society, including the Sorbonne Occupation Committee.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.227.237 (talk) 23:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  May 1968 

message: The exact sentence 
"Despite being a highly valued brand, the Sorbonne universities did not register their names as trademarks until the 1990s. Over the following years, they established partnerships, merging projects and associated institutions with the name Sorbonne, sometimes triggering conflicts over the usage and ownership of the name."
appears twice, verbatim. Not sure in which of the two locations it makes the most sense to keep it, but definitely not both.

replies: text: Sorbonne →  – The word "Sorbonne" in English since 1970 overwhelmingly refers to the successor schools to the University of Paris, and since 2018 to Sorbonne University (a.k.a "the Sorbonne" or "la Sorbonne"). While the Sorbonne University's name derives from the building, being the original sense of a word does not automatically confer PTOPIC status; cf.  (redirects to Watergate scandal, not Watergate complex). When I Google "Sorbonne", it takes me till the second page to see a single result about the building, the fourth page to see a second one. Every link I've spotchecked in WhatLinksHere intends Sorbonne University or, if in a pre-1970 context, the University of Paris; but never the building. This should be moved to Sorbonne (building) and the redirect should be retargeted to Sorbonne University (or, second choice, Sorbonne (disambiguation) should be moved over the redirect).
I'll note that the article does have one section that's not about the building, § Sorbonne name dispute. Move or no move, that should either be split off into its own article or merged with Sorbonne University Association into something like Successors to the University of Paris, as it is not within this article's stated scope.  -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:11, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

text: Relisting comment: There seems to be broad consensus that the building isn't primary, but some further discussion about what belongs at the base title (dab page? broad-concept article? something else?) may be helpful. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
