I removed the hallianonline.com link from this article as it is not relevant to this topic.If anybody want's to add it again,we can discuss it here.Thank you.--Ascendam (talk) 06:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

—==Notable alumni== "Notable alumni" should be notable, and on Wikipedia that means that they should have an article--no redlinks allowed. I have pruned the list and removed a lot of names (and their resumes): the article looked more like a social networking site than like an encyclopedic article. Please add only names of people with WP articles, and keep their descriptions short--their full resume is to be found in the article with their name on it. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Moving the current list here before significant trimming of non-notable names in the article. Please find sources or link to Wikipedia articles if you wish to re-add any name.

As the entire list was pasted back into the article without discussion (90% not notable in the Wikipedia sense), I have created List of alumni of Army Burn Hall College as a seperate article in an attempt to contain this unlimited unsourced directory of names. (talk) 08:40, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fixed many basic errors and problems edit

I have today fixed many basic problems with this article as well as removing factual errors. I would also like to point out: (a) The school magazine cannot be cited as a legitimate source for self-verification of data/information provided, it is NOT a scholarly journal of repute nor a newspaper of standing, its only a schoolboys magazine giving articles by the students and teachers-- and some better sourcing is needed. As it is, the article is now unsourced (b)teachers in public schools and colleges of this type arent termed as 'professors' but simply as 'Mr' or 'Mrs'. Please don't change this again thanks. I think that from the present revised base a proper article can be now rewritten, good luckHamneto (talk) 01:40, 4 November 2012 (UTC)MUNEER KHANReply

Encyclopedic content? edit

On 12 September 2018, a group of students and teachers visited the Supreme Court Museum and presented a cheque of 500,000 Pakistani rupees to the then Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Saqib Nisar as donation to "The Supreme Court of Pakistan and the Prime Minister of Pakistan Diamer-Bhasha and Mohmand Dams Fund".[1]

I removed the above content for having questionable relevance as to not being encyclopedic content.[1] That was more like a news report of something happened at college or done by students, irrelevant to an encylopedic article. An event getting media coverage doesn't mean that it merits inclusion. An annual day of the college reported in media isn't included unless it's notable enough. WP:NEWSEVENT We don't usually add such information as per norm, do we? It's same like if tomorrow college donates for PM Covid Relief Fund and gets media coverage, so that be included as well. WP:NOTNEWS I hope you will consider your revert, Idell.
