WP:PUFFERY

I'm sure the original editors of this article are justifiably proud of their university, but starting with the Logo and Icon sections it really becomes sweet enough to give one a toothache. See WP:PUFFERY. For example:

Its elegance marries elements of the past, while remaining timeless, invoking the future with its minimalist lines, though instantly recognizable as the form of fire, the unity of these incongruent idea stands as a testament to what can be accomplished by the ambition of man.

None of this business is linked to a reliable source whose opinions it reflects and if it did the notability of a logo -- compared to, for example, renowned faculty members -- is questionable. If the logo has won a graphic arts award or the sculpture a sculpture award that would make a difference, of course. Cite your sources.

Later sections do better on the issue of references. –Blanchette (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
