Talk:Maynooth University

message: Since when does NUIM have 14,000 students? The source referenced for the academic year 2008-2009 states there were 7,585 students enrolled that year, of which 6,136 well full time, 1,178 were part-time and 326 Erasmus or distance. Does anyone have an up to date source? Otherwise the numbers need to be corrected back to ~8,000. PolarIce (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I suggest that any detailed pre-1997 material be moved to the St Patrick's College, Maynooth article rather than this one. This article should have a summary only of the pre-1997 history. Djegan 16:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: An image of a coat of arms was added in May 2019 - I don't recognise it (and I work at Maynooth), and I was wondering if this is a mistake?  It's certainly not the logo used by the university anyway.  If it isn't accurate, I propose removing it and replacing it with the existing logo.  Otherwise, casual visitors to the Maynooth University website and the Wikipedia site might not realise it's the same institution. Educationhousejavert (talk) 12:32, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I cannot find a source for the image, and the reference provided simply links to another wiki. Removed from the page pending clarification. —Legoless (talk) 13:20, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

text: The first reference provided for this coat of arms indicates 2016 but provides no source.  This website also says: "We have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms."  The second reference is to a .PDF presentation lacking author or date that provides no further evidence or source to the University adopting this coat of arms.  Both fail WP:RS.  A quick google search reveals no announcement by the University or any other news source.  I suspect there is some confusion here with St. Patrick's College. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure about the first reference, but the second was published by the National Library of Ireland, which I would consider to be a reliable source. My understanding is that Maynooth University must have applied to the Chief Herald for a grant of arms that was subsequently granted in 2016, but has not yet decided to use its coat of arms on logos etc. I am not sure if the arms have yet replaced the symbol on degree certificates. There is certainly no confusion with SPCM, given that the description refers to the university's links to the seminary and six disciplines. It appears the university must have decided not to make an announcement after the arms were granted, which would explain the lack of evidence following a Google search.Waistlesselk (talk) 18:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Degrees display the NUI coat of arms and the MU logo. It is odd that an application would be made to the Chief Herald under the name Maynooth University, as the entity's legal name remains "National University of Ireland, Maynooth". —Legoless (talk) 00:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  As a follow-on, the Office of the Chief Hearld (based in the National Library of Ireland) does indeed have a link to that PDF document (https://www.nli.ie/en/heraldry-in-ireland-1943-2018.aspx), and presumably it did grant a coat of arms to Maynooth University in 2016.  Nonetheless, it's never formally used and I dare say for most of us this is the first time we've ever heard of it.  I think the page should prioritise the university logo, as it is the most commonly used symbol, but there should be a place for the arms too.  Waistlesselk has brought to our attention something that almost nobody knew of (for which thank you) - perhaps it could be included in a sub-section in  the body of the article?  Educationhousejavert (talk) 16:01, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have restored the current logo to the info box and the coat of arms can now be found in a subsection in the article Waistlesselk (talk) 21:37, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coat of Arms? 

message: I judiciously shortened some parts of the article. It sounds like PR to me, likely written by students or the administrative staff to bolster their own relevance. Most citations are from the uni website itself. Tons of irrelevant/not notable subjects (prices for housing, furniture available in the housing, some student awards in the 70s, etc). If someone has an issue with the shortening, I'm happy to re-instate some things but it has to be sources better with secondary sources and pass the notability criterion. Furthermore, the lists and tables are not how Wikipedia is written, WP:USEPROSE. I'm still not happy and will perhaps shorten the upper part of the article as well later.
