List of Alumni
The list of Alumni should be limited to people who are sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles, and where their article gives a reliable independent source that says they attended the school. This is a typical rule for articles about other schools and colleges. It prevents the list growing to unwieldy size and being used as a form of self-promotion. The entries in the list should also avoid honorifics and praise words. If you have started an article on an alumnus, with sources, by all means add their name to the list with a link to their article. You do not need to give a citation to the source that says they attended the school, as long as the citation is given in their article. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

The relevant guideline is WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines, which says "All alumni information must be referenced ... When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced, as long as it is done in the biographical articles. Be sure to check the existing biography article to ensure that it demonstrates alumni status with a cited reference. ... Per Notability (people), alumni to be included must meet Wikipedia notability criteria." It is the responsibility of the editor adding the information to provide the sources and demonstrate notability. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
