Talk:Ballygunge Government High School

Below Standard Article
A big portion of this article has been copied and pasted directly from other articles. As a result there is mistakes like - Ritwik Ghatak was a student of this school. The whole article should be modified --Tito Dutta (Talk) 20:28, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have started to work, removed Ritwik Ghatak's name! --Tito Dutta (Talk) 20:30, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Notable alumni section!
The Notable alumni section of this article is full of spam and advertising. A Wikipedia school article is not a directory of (all) students of the school. I suggest to delete all the redlinks and plain text names and let's keep only those names for which we have Wikipedia articles. I could do this without myself asking, but, I think this may be little bit controversial later (already a small edit warring going here), so I wish to get some opinion and specially reach some consensus before doing anything here! Since there is any active editors here, I am requesting for comments. -- Tito Dutta  ✉  20:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Concur This is a totally reasonable position per WP:Notability. MichaelProcton (talk) 06:26, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Remove red links - Alumni of a school is best handled by Categories: create a new category "Alumni of Ballgunge" and put the persons' articles into that category. --Noleander (talk) 16:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Remove any name that is not sourced to a reliable third party BIO. WP:SELFPUB. -- The Red Pen of Doom  23:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)


 * (from RFC) I would expect the list to only include notable people and that is normally those with a wikipedia article or those that would otherwise be considered notable enough for stand-alone article but hasnt been created yet. MilborneOne (talk) 19:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, what MilborneOne said. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 11:36, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (from RFC) MilborneOne has said, A red link for a subject can remain in the article provided the subject is notable enough to deserve an article per WP:BIO-- D Big X ray  20:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, red link can remain, but there is no way to verify that the person really was an alumni of that school/college unless you manually search in world wide web.
 * Also see– Patha_Bhavan,_Kolkata, I feel some of these entries should be removed. -- Tito Dutta  ✉  13:14, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
