I think that the DU one is a better template, if all the links are sorted; but that the UoD one is at a better name? So, if we can move the DU one to here and include the college links from this one (UoD), then we have a better template?

Conditional Support: I reckon that, since the official title is still UoD, the DU template should be moved there. However, the UoD crest is no longer required, and I would suggest removing the small DU gif and replacing it with a larger, better quality png like this or this. Also, those links should not be included until they exist. cBuckley 12:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-02-23T12:22:00.000Z","author":"Cbuckley","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cbuckley-2006-02-23T12:22:00.000Z-Discussion","replies":[]}}-->

What happened to the Durham Revue article? It's not listed anywhere on WP:AFD that I could find.

The article Durham Revue was moved to The Durham Revue on 3rd October 2006, and deleted on 28th August 2007 as a WP:PROD, and again on 20th September 2008 per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Durham Revue.

It appears there has been some departmental shuffles and CS has merged with Engineering, hence the OOD tag. 94.195.82.77 (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-17T17:54:00.000Z","author":"94.195.82.77","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-94.195.82.77-2009-09-17T17:54:00.000Z-Computer_Science_department","replies":[]}}-->

Should Cranmer Hall, Durham be on the template? I would suggest putting it in brackets after St John's.

That would seem reasonable, and mirrors what had been done for the sports teams.

I'll be bold and add it. DuncanHill (talk) 01:09, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-08T01:09:00.000Z","author":"DuncanHill","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-DuncanHill-2017-03-08T01:09:00.000Z-Robminchin-2017-03-07T02:45:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
