Removal of Names edit

I have re-inserted the deleted names. The people listed are merely information related to the article - List of La Salle University people. Presumably, all information on Wikipedia needs to be notable, but not all of the information itself is notable enough to merit it's own page. Therefore, considering the aim of this article, it's perfectly reasonable to list individuals who do not have their own pages on Wikipedia (as long as they bring notablity to the article itself). 66.0.131.50 (talk) 17:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the people must be known outside the school itself, for low threshold starters.
You don't really want to have standards lower than most high schools - it looks funny. Having said that, a number of people deserve their own articles, Generals, for example. They will be notable, once they are in the system. But outsider editors (and readers) cannot verify that these people actually exist.
An allied problem, not trivial, is how do we readily verify that vandalism hasn't occurred - that someone hasn't just inserted their own name with an apparent resume?
Another issue is that since their is no article, and "enhanced" line resume clutter may be necessary. This distracts from the others, legitimate to the article.
What is to stop future editors from entering their entire class?
This is why we have articles - to determine notability. A common standard is now being used for all colleges. We need to use it here, as well. Student7 (talk) 19:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

A great number of the listed people you removed were television and radio journalists who are in the public spotlight in their regional areas. In addition, their names linked to their television station's bio. Those individuals, at the very least, should be allowed. Wikipedia has already acknowledged that regional TV personalities are notable in many, many cases. 24.214.53.191 (talk) 19:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Maybe we should resume this conversation. Should local television personalities be allowed? There are many listed on the La Salle 56 page like Matt DeLucia '07, etc who don't have their own pages. Lasalleexplorer (talk) 19:27, 6 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Duane Kelly edit

He manages $55 billion in assets for Vanguard. He's probably notable. http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/mutualrecognition/bio/dkelly.pdf

Definitely notable, but he doesn't have a Wikipedia page. I think this list is only for those with Wikipedia pages, similar to other university's lists of notable people. Lasalleexplorer (talk) 19:22, 6 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
