Merge proposal
I propose merging Father Hesburgh and Father Joyce and Word of Life (mural) into Hesburgh Library. The former is a statue between the reflecting pool and the entrance, while the latter is a feature of the building. Swanyay (talk) 02:09, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose - I think these are independently notable and make nice standalone articles. The statue especially has nothing to do with the building. I'd prefer to see the entries kept and expanded further. ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:29, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose, if only on grounds of length. Johnbod (talk) 04:42, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose - Hesburgh was one of the most notable and influential university presidents in the history of higher education in the U.S. The library and other physical improvements are important to ND, but his impact worldwide was considerably greater than nearly any other university president in the U.S. then or now. The Wiki article is a pretty good summary - Theodore Hesburgh.
- Oppose for all of the reasons above, notability all around (you want to merge Touchdown Jesus? Aghast and perpetually potentially perplexed.). Randy Kryn (talk) 11:54, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Bad link. Footnote 9
Footnote 9, the link to a page on the library site is a bad link. It gets a 404 error 107.220.79.24 (talk) 20:55, 20 August 2017 (UTC)David Bains, August 20, 2017
