@Wasted Time R: Most of the sources in the article are to internal Cornell publications or web sites. I've added a couple of templates to the article about this. Overall, I'd say it also reads in a rather promotional tone, so WP:NPOV is also a problem. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:58, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- Nothing wrong with the sources. Not seeing the claimed overuse of primary sources. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:07, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- I think to some degree, primary sources will always appear in articles like these, as a school's website is the best source for degree programs offered, exact names of academic departments, etc. But I am working on trying to add outside sources and address the concerns raised, will post again when done.

- Such sources are authoritative, and should be used. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:28, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- @RoySmith: I have now expanded several aspects of the article, and in doing so I have brought in several third-party sources (most of which are Ithaca-area newspapers). I have also adjusted the tone in several places to make it seem less promotional (but I have left in the US News & World Reports rankings, which many WP articles on colleges include). So I leave it up to you as to whether you will remove the tags you put on; if you think they still belong there, I will withdraw the DYK nomination. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:53, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Wasted Time R: I appreciate the effort, but it still seems pretty heavy on sources closely associated with the school. For example, the ithaca.com article (Move Over Baseball, The Future of Cornell is CIS) you added is not just a local publication, but the author is apparently a Cornell student ("Julia Nagel is a reporter from The Cornell Daily Sun working on The Sun’s summer fellowship at The Ithaca Times"). -- RoySmith (talk) 16:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, I tried. Consider the nomination withdrawn. Wasted Time R (talk) 19:52, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
