In looking through the list of alumni

I see Trischa Zorn, Law 2005, but on her page all it says about her university career is, "Zorn studied at the University of Nebraska, and, as of 2001, "teaches third and fourth graders with special needs in Indianapolis". Perhaps someone who actually knows (i.e., not me) can update her page. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

This G-search for "Trischa Zorn, Law 2005" (where the quotes were included in the query) produces 5 hits:

liquisearch names "Misplaced Pages Alumni (i.e. our article) as source
Pr. G-berg credits "World Heritage Encyclopedia Edition" via a thumbnail and bottom of the page text
World Heritage Encyclopedia includes boilerplate that includes WP among its sources
Wikiwand duplicates the text of this talk page, including at least 1 contrib i added in the last few hours]
"Wikipeetia, the misspelled encyclopedia" lives up to its slogan by misspelling about 90% of our text, including of course "teh".

Someone (even more obsessive/compulsive than i) may want to do a WikiBlame search in pursuit of greater clarity about when it disappeared, or examine our colleague Carptrash's contribs against the possibility that they did something about it themself. When you know when it disappeared, Wikiblame will probably be less frustrating as a tool for determining when it first appeared, which may be helpful in understanding, or at least in further investigation for a source or explanation.

New pages, or rename?

I know this is a bit premature, but what will happen to this article when Purdue and IU part ways in 2024? Will new articles for IUI and PUI need to be made, or will this one simply be renamed IUI and a new PUI article be made? It makes the most sense for this one to be renamed since the majority of the university will become IUI (most of it already is anyhow); but then again, the same could have been said for IPFW and PFW, yet there are separate articles for those two entities. Or this one could be renamed, and a new IUPUI article be made to detail IUPUI-specific history. I'm assuming IUPUC will just become IUC completely, and the few programs Purdue offers at that university will be absorbed by the Polytechnic there, but of course we haven't received news about IUPUC's status just yet.

Good to get the conversation started, thanks for doing so. My thoughts are two new separate articles (IUI and PUI or whatever their names will be) with IUPUI remaining here will make the most sense, since both new universities will have similar levels of claim to the history, and IUPUI up to its dissolution is a notable and well-documented entity in and of itself. Keeping the history of this page intact is most important too in terms of moving and recreating. --Cerebral726 (talk) 18:16, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree with @Cerebral726 ... keep IUPUI and begin a new entry for IUI. I'm not sure though that PUI is an actual entity. It appears that Purdue is extending its West Lafayette campus to Indianapolis. (Too soon to tell, maybe.) Disclosure: I work at IUI, so I will not contribute to the edits. -- Jaireeodell (talk) 18:47, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

I also agree with this approach although I reserve the right to change my mind as we learn more about this split and its ramifications. ElKevbo (talk) 22:08, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
