Talk:U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities

message: The addition of this information doesn't seem germane to the topic. Certainly universities, including those who are members of the U15, employ graduate students in research. But that seems unrelated to the U15 organization itself. Can we remove? Akiracee (talk) 16:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll second that, it seems like it was taken from a U15 promotional fact list (especially considering the bullet points within the section) and doesn't seem to bring any context to the way the group actually functions collectively. Leventio (talk) 23:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Doctoral Students Section

message: Added this section, as it seems to be one of the main activities of the G10 as a collective group. Much of it was from Western's annual report, which has already been used as a reference extensively (what can I say, it's a very long and thorough report). I'm sure this section could be expanded upon, and that would probably silence the accusations of illegitimacy that plagued this article earlier on. --Greenmind 03:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Data Exchange 

message: I added this section to replace the information that was once contained on the List of Canadian universities by endowment. The list was once based solely around the G10, which provided a nice comparison between the schools, but didn't represent all Canadian universities, which the title would suggest. I changed the list to reflect "all Canadian universities with endowments over 100 million", so I added an Endowment section to the G10 article because it seemed the appropriate place for the old information. Copied the format from the Ivy League article; I figured the article already had one prominently displayed table, so it might be unsightly to add two more. --Greenmind 04:20, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is this page a candidate for deletion?  I think that an organisation of top-research universities in Canada is kind of important! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcphysical (talk • contribs) 
Yes, it clearly is important. Deletion would be inapproriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.186.194 (talk) 22:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Nomination for Deletion

message: The article says that the group has biannual meetings.  I didn't know that this was a word, but m-w.com tells me that it means either "occurring twice a year" or "biennial".  Confusingly, "biennial" means "occurring every two years".  I would use "semiannual" to mean "twice a year" or "biennial" to mean "every two years".  Additionally, I can't find a reference anywhere that says how often they actually do meet. --  timc  talk   02:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning of biannual 

message: I have assessed this as a Start Class as, while it contains a good level of organization, is lacking in prose and description about the topic. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specialized topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 14:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: To the user who keeps removing Canadian Ivy League from the See Also section - it is quite relevant to this list, since the universities listed in the CIL article are contained in the lists within this article too. It doesn't seem to make much sense to have the Ivy League under see also as an American collaboration, when you seem set on removing the Canadian counterpart - and this is an article about Canadian schools. Similarly, there are multiple other wikilinks in the See Also that might as well be removed if the Canadian Ivy League article does not seem to match - however, I think it does and I would appreciate your/other users' feedback since you just keep removing it from the list while I undo it.AccuratEdit (talk) 02:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Having a column for athletic nicknames seems more than a little incongruous in an article about a group research-oriented universities. I suggest removing it. Silverchemist (talk) 14:40, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Athletic Nicknames?? 

message: "Currently, U15 consists of 15 of Canada's most research-intensive universities."
I am sorry, I never contribute to Wikipedia but I highly doubt the claim. The U15 consists of the most renowed universities. There are many reason to that, but that doesn't make them the 15 most research-intensive of the country. Many smaller universities are more productive per researcher than these one. Also, some public school get more grant from the Canadian research councils per student (national contest). Therefore, I claim that without proper reference, this description should be modified for a more neutral approach.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.212.143.208 (talk) 01:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
