 * Keep: Where to start? Notable graduates and faculty: Shaun Donovan is Obama's choice to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development 1. I found news coverage from  1938 in a google news search 1,and  2. Lastly, the school profound influence in American academics is documented in google scholar. --Jmundo (talk) 22:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Harvard itself is so important in American history and culture that we should let this one slide by without secondary sources. (I know WP policies "notability is not inherited", etc.) Redddogg (talk) 22:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep--notability is usually not inherited, but in some cases, well, this is one of those cases. What was this nominator thinking? Drmies (talk) 04:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep- It has an endowment of over $400 million, that's definitely notable, and like others have said, "Come on! It's Harvard."Joeycfc (talk) 07:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per common sense. Deletion is for unsourceable, not unsourced.  Is it really necessary to say anything to prove that sources are out there to support keeping the article even under the most stringent interpretation of the guidelines, even if the sources are not in the article?  A case where the sources are so numerous it is hard for a non-expert to find the most appropriate.John Z (talk) 09:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
