List of Ithaca College People

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Largely unsourced, and some inaccurate info. Many persons on the list lack notability, and the topic of the list (Ithaca College People) is vague and too open-ended. Weathermandan (talk) 00:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: Per the nom's reasoning. A lot of people listed aren't notable.  Add the actual notable ones to the list here, and delete the article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Almost every college has an alumni and personnel list. Fix problems, don't delete the good with the bad. Did the nominator notice the category Category:Lists of people by university in the United States. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to List of Ithaca College alumni, with the faculty list on the college page itself, and trim out most of the non-wikilinked "notables" such as the random CEOs and news reporters. Although do note the school is known for its broadcast journalism program. Redlink any that seem promising. The use of "people" is basically a holdover from the standard category structure for colleges & universities that puts categories for faculty and alumni under a "people" intermediate category. With a little work most of the blue-linked articles coudl probably have sources imported and if you think something is inaccurate, remove it (if you're not sure, tag it). As for "open-ended", what other kinds of people do you think might end up in this article? --Dhartung | Talk 07:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, since there's plenty of precedent for alumnus and faculty lists, but I support Dhartung's proposals above. EALacey (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep this is very standard on WP. JJL (talk) 21:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, precedent has shown that lists of alumni and faculty are acceptable. I have moved the page to List of Ithaca College alumni. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Non-notable people should be removed, sources should be provided,list expanded, etc. But the list itself (per usual practice in WP) should stay. Good idea to rename (by TenPoundHammer). --Yury Petrachenko (talk) 20:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
