*All three of these are well-cited, reflect large swaths of the article, and are central to the city's notability and should therefore be kept. It is possible that they could be rewritten or replaced somehow but that would require a specific proposal; I would strenuously oppose simply removing them. Note that the third one is already attributed, which you left out; the fact that it has been called these things is genuinely important, because it is frequently and widely discussed in that way in a manner that is central to its notability and significance, ie. these are not obscure things that someone said once, but core aspects of the manner in which the city generally comes up on a global level. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 04:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
**Very well stated. You just the hammered the nail on the head. Compromising the integrity of the article and its reliably sourced statements, and diluting the facts to come across as politically correct, jeopardizes the entire integrity of Wikipedia itself.

NEW YORK − Columbia University's administration said Monday it has begun suspending students hours after demonstrators defied a deadline for clearing the "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" at the center of campus, which fueled similar protests on campuses across the nation.
Spokesperson Ben Chang said the university had notified students they would be suspended if they didn’t vacate the encampment by 2 p.m. ET after the sides failed to reach an agreement earlier in the day. The site, he said, has created an unwelcoming environment for many Jewish students and faculty, and it has been noisy at the center of campus.Protest organizers note that many demonstrators in their space are Jewish, including several of the 100-plus arrested when the university asked police to break up a smaller encampment on April 18.We’ve been suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on campus,” said Chang, who did not take questions from reporters or specify the number of students from Columbia and its affiliated Barnard College who were disciplined.Around the time of the deadline, many students threw notices of the possible suspensions in the trash or put them on the ground to be stepped on. Chang said adjudication over suspensions will be handled by the university senate − composed of faculty, students, administration, staff and alumni − as well as the Office of University Life.The administration cited the need to clear the encampment ahead of upcoming commencement ceremonies May 15, when about 15,000 students will graduate from the Ivy League school.Columbia protesters demand the school halt investments with companies profiting from Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, and they want amnesty for students and faculty involved in the protest. College campus demonstrations have ramped up in opposition to the civilian toll in Gaza, where more than 34,000 people have died since the Israeli invasion that followed a Hamas-led attack that killed almost 1,200 people in Israel.
