Talk:List of Stanford University faculty and staff

Pande
I added Vijay S. Pande to the list. Ivan Ivanković 18:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Ivan Ivanković

Earl Killian
Computer scientist with 26 patents. Please note his article is up for deletion. Here's the discussion: Articles for deletion/Earl Killian.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:12, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Degree naming convention
Stanford always uses "B.S." instead of "S.B." and so on. Why does the article use "S.B."? Worse, why is it inconsistent in which convention it uses? I move that all instances be changed to what Stanford actually uses. 66.59.249.107 (talk) 07:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's what happened:
 * Stanford Bachelor of Arts degrees were A.B. degrees until 2001 and did not become B.A. degrees until 2002.
 * Stanford Master of Arts degrees were A.M. degrees until 2001 and did not become M.A. degrees until 2002.
 * Stanford Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees have been B.S. and M.S. degrees since at least 1957
 * Stanford law degrees were LL.B. degrees until 1970 and did not become J.D. degrees until 1971.

Clifford Nass move
Clifford Nass teaches for the Stanford computer science department by courtesy. His classes are, by and large, highly non-technical, not writing or talking about a single piece of code or computer science theory in significant way (except perhaps in passing). Also, Nass's research is unverified for notability (check the articles of concepts that he invented). He himself is questionably notable as his accomplishments seem no more notable than any Average Joe who has worked in academia, hired by large companies, and made up sensationalist terms for questionably notable phenomena.

If anything in the least, his name belongs in the Other category because if it turns out that he/his work is indeed notable, because his work is interdisciplinary. Thus, I moved it there to appease the person who thought he belonged in the same list with Turing Award winners and significant contributors to the internet. 67.164.92.202 (talk) 07:35, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Strictly speaking he is a professor in the Communication department with courtesy appointments elsewhere. I agree that he doesn't belong under CS so moving to other seems reasonable.  I won't comment on notability since I'm in a poor position to judge. I also note there seem to be several people in the section "Notable Stanford faculty and affiliates" who don't fit the description because they aren't faculty or affiliates (I'm defining affiliates as staff or otherwise have/had an ongoing close relationship with the University)--Erp (talk) 15:06, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Notable alumni section
Hi. I was working on adding citations for this section and noticed there are a few people listed who do not have Wikipedia articles. I am wondering f a person needs to have their own Wikipedia article before they should be listed in this section? I know this is the guideline for a Notable people section on a city or town page. Please let me now if this is the same guideline for the Notable alumni section? Thank you.--BuzyBody (talk) 03:35, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I know this is late but I think notability can also be established by being in something like the Dictionary of National Biography (but not who's who), a substantive obituary in a national newspaper or magazine or something similar and having a citation pointing to that. This is probably more necessary for long dead figures.   Erp (talk) 01:41, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

birth/death dates or what should be included
I'm inclined to include birth/death dates since seekers might be looking for people of a certain time period or certain age and having them look up each individual is time consuming. --Erp (talk) 06:11, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't favor that. I haven't seen in done on other "list of people" pages (except Harvard's, where the article is in table format) and I think it would be TMI. Just give the person's name and what they are notable for; plus their degree and/or year if available (optional). --MelanieN (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If we have the degree year, fine, but if we have no other indication of time frame, I think some indication such as birth/death is useful. I note btw that this article is half and half as far as tables.  I'm not enthralled by the tables for this purpose on the other hand it ensures certain information is included. Also is it legit to point to a category such as Category:Stanford University people in an article?Erp (talk)
 * I agree with MelanieN that birth/death dates are too much information. If a reader is interested, then the alum's Wikipedia article is there to provide those facts, and many more.Contributor321 (talk) 01:01, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Note also that of the roughly 75 categories of Stanford people, only 9 had birth/death dates before I started deleting them. I'd say for the sake of consistency, every category should have them, or none should.  I stand on the side of none.  In the absence of any compelling reasons submitted by other editors in the near future to keep them, I'd like to go ahead and delete the rest of the birth/death dates. Contributor321 (talk) 16:20, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ Contributor321 (talk) 19:44, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess my question is what then distinguishes a list article from a category as far as usefulness? Erp (talk) 03:16, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

trustees?
I'm wondering whether we should have a section listing current trustees (and former notable trustees) of the university with their terms. I've been gatherings some info together in my sandbox Stanford trustees and also been adding the appropriate Stanford University trustees category to pages that don't have it. --Erp (talk) 03:48, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
