List of alumni of St John's College, Cambridge
Why are you removing names from this list who are clearly alumni? I thought I would ask your reasoning before I revert you --Aloneinthewild (talk) 13:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Some of the names provided didn't even have a proper Wikipedia page. Happy to agree on best approaches but there ought to be some criteria for noteworthiness that separates this list page from a generic category list (e.g. Category:Alumni of St John's College, Cambridge). For example, including a short summary or description of what the person actually did or achieved, and in all cases, including a link to the actual page associated with the name. When looking at similar lists, Trinity for example, there are clearly fewer names in the actual alumni list page compared to the category of alumni list. Perhaps we could provide some basic criteria in the talk section?


 * Generally, there is an introduction to who is included in the opening paragraph. I'm not sure how you would define that for this list, since St John's is an old institution, it is bound to have a large list. Provided they have an article they tend to be included on most other alumni lists. See List of alumni of Jesus College, Oxford for an example of a featured list.
