Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/( List of ) Alumni, Principals and Teachers of The Rajkumar College,Rajkot- RKCians


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to Rajkumar College, Rajkot. The drastically trimmed list should easily fit on the main page. If this article was created to save space, then that rationale doesn't hold now the list is substantially shorter. Ged UK  14:44, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

( List of ) Alumni, Principals and Teachers of The Rajkumar College,Rajkot- RKCians

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

An amazingly crufty list of "alumni" and notable individuals who apparently attended Rajkumar College, Rajkot. I tried turning it into a redirect, which was undone with this comment. It isn't eligible for speedy, but that isn't an endorsement of its encyclopedic nature. tedder (talk) 19:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete; while numerous people in it are apparently notable enough to be included on Wikipedia, this is a rather trivial article and it would be more logical to create a Rajkumar College Alumni category instead, into which the relevant people can be added.

 * Comment Note many of the "notable alumni" are simply bluelinks because they are piped to a city or name. For instance, Tedder of Portland . tedder (talk) 21:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My Comment: Hoping this comment is appropriate and allowed Place name used for temporary link for the place which each of those are/were rulers/Kings of the place pending creation of specific page. Patelurology2 (talk) 01:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I reverted the conversion to a redirect minutes ago, having earlier declined a speedy on this page. My view is that if the college is notable enough for an article here -- and I think it is -- then a list of notable and soemwhat notable alumni is a reasonable extension of that article. The page could be improved but I see no need to delete it. DES (talk) 20:30, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My comment: Improvements are being attempted to this page around general aspects of Alumni; intent for creation of this page was to separate the list from page save the most notable category which righly has been left by the first Admin on main page, so that clutter can be avoided and also link to   page preparation page under my userspace can be established; I infer that the latter cannot be linked as per guidelines?;it was de-linked by the first Admin. Anyway, Alumni capable of completion of these page will now have a started page ready to input; my first attempt months ago to start first page was met with Auto-deletion, then the Userspace feature came to attention; upto that time all the material gathered was somewhere else; casting a page gives avenue to completion someday; not all likely to be completed soon; inertia ruleth supreme and current limited manpower in background further help from all the Alumni will be needed considering Alumni In Memoriam; institution is 130 years old.

 * Delete All of the important content is already at Rajkumar College, Rajkot, which is the appropriate place for alumni-- Jac 16888 Talk 20:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge this article with the article for the college. A separate article is not necessary, the list of Principals can be merged. The other content is simply not notable.  Rkr 1991  (Wanna chat?) 13:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Possible Solution from a Beginner Wikipedian Alumnus in Observation: Hoping this comment is appropriate and allowed The page was created to avoid clutter on Main page and further development of individual pages and an instruction page for creation of pages was started under my space feature with intent to speed up and maintain order; listing on main page would be acceptable, if that is the best logical option; if so, a revert to version of prior acceptable date( ? Revision as of 17:54, 13 December 2009 ) could be considered, so that merger is seamless; list was a copy of list on prior version page. See also discussion/talk page of this list page.

 * It's a good thing if a high school has a long list of alumni. It's not clutter. Just work on the main page. Abductive  (reasoning) 00:44, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge any missing notable alumni and list of principals back to Rajkumar College, Rajkot. The red linked people should not be merged. TerriersFan (talk) 22:21, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR; no independent source discusses the alumni of the school. The truly notable alumni are already listed at Rajkumar College, Rajkot, and most of the other blue links in this article are simply piped links to cities and towns. Abecedare (talk) 04:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, this is a high school, not a college. Article is horribly titled, and unsourced. Abductive  (reasoning) 00:42, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My comment: Agree and it says on the opening sentence of main page Rajkumar College, Rajkot that "The Rajkumar College (also known as RKC) in Rajkot is one of the oldest K-12 institutions in India today." This page is a list page; descriptions are attempt to improve the page with descriptions about some appropriate commonalities amongst Alumni. Themain page of the college ( school ) is the reference page and this list page, originally on that page, was given it's own page toreduce clutter on main page.
 * I cleaned it up. There are only 12 truly notable alumni and faculty (using "no redlinks" as a good proxy of notability). Removing the rest of the clutter, it's now a small list. It could (and should) be easily on the main page. tedder (talk) 04:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
