Talk:St Bonaventure's

Notable Alumni?
The notable alumni list cites some superfluous ex Bonaventurians, who, I am sure, have added themselves. Does wikipedia have criteria on which to judge 'notable'? If it does I suggest that these criteria are examined, and applied to this section of the article.

At first glance I would suggest removing all the names on the notable alumni list, with, of course, the exception of Jermain Defoe, William Sharp and Lewis Iwu.

Then again I might be wrong.

I've certainly seen these chaps on the TV so i thinik you may be wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.62.82 (talk) 15:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Of course you've seen Will Sharp, Lewis Iwu and (to a lesser extent) Defoe, on TV. They're fairly famous. But who these other chumps? David Amess? Isn't he the Tory who raped a badger? 163.1.209.30 (talk) 10:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I think that Vince Hilaire was at St Bonaventure'sMillbanks (talk) 08:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I went to school with Terry Morrison (at St Bonaventure's, coincidentally enough) and I once heard him on the radio late at night, and he's on Friends Reunited. Notable and referenced enough, surely! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.73.147.112 (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

That's not a reference you dick. 81.187.113.66 (talk) 13:51, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A good rule of thumb is that if someone doesn't have their own article on Wikipedia, then they aren't notable enough to count as a "notable alumnus". And even if they do, then WP:LIST and WP:LISTCRUFT would dictate that you're a bit selective - a lot of people will have heard of Defoe because he's an England international and clearly counts as "notable", but I wouldn't cry too much if Dennis Oli dropped off the list. MPs are certainly notable - and including a politician makes the list a bit more varied. 82.20.52.30 (talk) 12:09, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Brian Alexis, was indeed the the drummer for 1980's indie band 'The June Brides', he is now a psychology teacher, I know this because he was my psychology teacher for a period of time. At the continual and pestering behest of a classmate, our class was privvy to a recording of a song by 'The June Brides' for which he was the drummer. Of course, whether his position as a drummer for a relatively obscure indie band is sufficient to allow him the title of, 'Notable Alumnus' is questionable - even more so when viewed in conjunction with names like, Jermain Defoe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.9.244.103 (talk) 23:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

NPOV
This reads in its totality like an advert. Wikipedia isn't a place for advertising... 121.214.105.66 (talk) 11:46, 9 July 2011 (UTC)


 * At no point is there any advertising. The aim is to provide as much information to people that are interested in St Bonaventure's School as possible.PaulHalliwell (talk) 20:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I've restored the last revision before the edits of PaulHalliwell (i.e., oldid 430708272). I realize that, while removing promotional content, I also removed and/or reverted constructive edits. However, this article was in this form absolutely unacceptable and I consider this action necessary to protect Wikipedia's integrity. Please read WP:NPOV and WP:NOT for more information. Kind regards, Mathonius (talk) 20:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Bring up an old topic yes, but there appears to be a rather large conflict of interest in this article 07Alpha55 (talk) 18:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
