An edit war has been brewing over this article over several days, at this writing. Thankfully, an administrator placed a Disruptive Editing block on the article, but while this may cool some edits, it may not resolve the problem.
At issue is whether supporters can remove sourced paragraphs relating to symbolism, and information noting the closure of the Fraternity's Epsilon chapter. It would be preferable to hash this out here on the Talk page, to reach consensus.
As a longstanding participant in the Fraternity and Sorority Project, my view is that these Fraternity and Sorority articles should list notable symbols in the infobox, and body text ought to, within reason, elaborate on them further. Such articles have no need for an extensive treatise on the nuances of such symbolism and instead should to point to sources for additional reading. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, thus we provide a summary, not the sum total of information about these subjects. Here, the fact of pre-Columbian symbolism, colors and themes is interesting to the casual reader, and useful in introducing a reader to the style, manner, history and culture of the Fraternity. If a symbol is visible on the crest or flag, it is reasonable to talk about it in a summary form. However, in the rare instance that someone publishes copyrighted or esoteric material, i.e.: ritual language, those items may be deleted. They would constitute unnecessary detail, would possibly open Wikipedia to copyright liability, and are unnecessary for a summary understanding. By including them an editor's actions may constitute bullying.
Now, Wikipedia is not censored. "Inconvenient facts", such as "Lambda Upsilon Lambda has adopted pre-Columbian symbolism on its crest and throughout its organization structure and program. Examples include... (with citations)" --This would be fine. The closure of a chapter, or chapter or member misconduct that lands in the courts or university jurisprudence, and is reported on in reliable sources, these situations are valid to discuss. But I urge editors to stay within the rails: an article about a 100-yr old national, with 100 chapters ought not be focused on a single-chapter, one-time incident. This would run afoul of Wikipedia's principle of Balance. The way we often handle these 'chapter issues' is by mentioning that a chapter is dormant in a chapter list, and noting the reason for it in a reference citation or extended footnote (EFN). Again, aiming for balance. Jax MN ( talk) 21:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
chooses to heavily use Pre-Columbian imagery to be representative of its goals and ideals. The conclusion is not drawn out by the sources. The current LUL website does not include this image, although it does use a similar image as its "fraternal symbol". If LUL make any associations between its symbols and any existing symbols, they are not being public about it, and that is their right. I don't believe that we at Wikipedia have any basis to say anything about the matter without straying into original research. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 17:18, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
@ Blaze Wolf: I'm inclined to agree with @ Ajmacias: on removal of this material. The sources used to cite the pre-Columbian sources of LUL's iconography do not actually mention LUL. The articles contain images of pre-Columbian art, or images of LUL iconography, and the editor (or editors) who added the material have engaged in original research to connect the two. Without a reliable source indicating that LUL has specifically (and publicly) chosen this pre-Columbian iconography and its associated meanings, we really should not include the information.
