Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 6 August 2015 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

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.

Articles after IUPUI splits

Now that it's 2024, we ought to discuss how we are going to structure the Misplaced Pages articles on the two schools. As I see it, there are two possibilities:

Create two new articles, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University Indianapolis. Each of these would contain history of IUPUI that is relevant to the particular university, and the current article would contain only the history and other information pertinent to IUPUI pre-split.
Create one new article for Purdue University Indianapolis, as above, and change the name of the current article to Indiana University Indianapolis.

What do you all think? Are there any possibilities that I overlooked? Indyguy (talk) 22:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
