Info box shows Seattle campus attendance numbers but that isn't made clear

I was going to edit it to say (2021 Seattle campus) but I thought that would get repetitive. The problem stems from the fact that University of Washington is a whole system of universities now. Spinwin2 (talk) 05:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute about "In film & television" section

The article currently has a brief "In film & television" section with the following contents:

1999: 10 Things I Hate About You, directed by Gil Junger^[1]
2022: The Sex Lives of College Girls, created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble

It's not at all clear what readers are supposed to learn about this institution from these two unexplained, contextless bullet points (one of which is unsourced). 3vvww661, what are you insisting that this section remain in the article? ElKevbo (talk) 02:08, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As essential cult classics (I am not one who is especially interested in both shows as an active viewer) the popularity of the shows create a deservedness in being mentioned on this article because according to the sources, on some occasions they were filmed on Washington university campus. The sourceless mention has a source which can be supplanted from The Sex Lives of College Girls#Filming which provides three sources of the filming location being on campus. If these were not notable films, I would remove them altogether entirely, as you had. I believe the mention differs from meaningless trivia because of the cultural relevance of the media, unlike all other shows you removed. 3vvww661 (talk) 23:16, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A short introduction statement the length of one paragraph (Two would be endearing and unnecessary) pertaining to both the cultural relevance/success of the shows and the relevance and relationship to the campus through filming I believe would justify the section’s existence. In correspondence, I’d be glad to consider and adapt forward with more of your input! 3vvww661 (talk) 23:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest removing these or making them their own page linked to from the main page.

We may also want to differentiate between Film/TV that is set in UW, vs filmed in UW, in the line describing these items.

If we are including all films set at UW, I suspect it would be a long list due to UW's cinema education.

A brief search returns dozens of results - see https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?locations=University%20of%20Washington,%20Seattle,%20Washington,%20USA 2601:600:9700:A1:0:0:0:100C (talk) 18:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
