 * See Shrewsbury School


 * Now see the new, improved lead to the list.--Kudpung (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

List inclusion
Proof of attending the school must  be provided, and the notability asserrted. Having been a pupil at  the school is not  alone a criteria notability. Please remember that when adding  new names they must:
 * either have Wiki pages that  reference a verifiable source that they  actually  studied at  Schrewsbury,

or

If no references are found for the redlinks, and if no objections are made, they  will be deleted. What about  Old sSlopians born after 1940? --Kudpung (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * that a new entry  includes such  a source.


 * I'm not sure why there is this date of birth requirement. I'm going to remove it. Obviously more recent Old Salopians (those who are still alive) need to demonstrate their (enduring) notability perhaps more. David (talk) 10:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Good.--Kudpung (talk) 14:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * My person opinion is that the dates add value to this list as its such an old school and alumni sitting alongside one another in the list can have lived many centuries apart. These dates could eventually faciliate a reorganisation of the list into sub-lists by century (on one page or separate pages). Look at the lists of Old Etonians for example.--Abacchus1974 (talk) 20:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

REMINDER
See List Inclusion above. Please note that this is not  a general  list  of all  or any  alumni. Whether the former pupils have become historians, antiquarians, psychiatrists, etc, or even got  a knighthood, does not  automatically  assert  notability, nor is it proof that  they attended the school. The critera for inclusion in  this list  must  be fulfilled,  just  as they  must  be for List of Old Malvernians for example. --Kudpung (talk) 05:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * There are still lots of red linked pages which need checking for notability ...and that the respective person actually went to the school. If the answer is no to either of these criteria, the entry should be deleted. A long list of obscure red names makes not for an endearing read for the general public! Contributions from Old Salopians would be appreciated.--Abacchus1974 (talk) 20:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
