List of Mercy College (New York) alumni

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary spin-off of Mercy College (New York) notable alumni section. College only has some 18 alumni with wikipedia articles. They can all be listed at the article. Which they are. Note- Another similar page List of Mercy College (New York) people was deleted. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:00, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per reasons stated above. There aren't enough alumni for this page to make sense, although I do wonder at what point a separate page becomes necessary. Just based on the eye test, it seems like the college's own article is an appropriate place to house the alumni list. Gargleafg (talk) 00:24, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: -- Does every school get a separate page for their alumni? These kind of lists should be limited to those schools which are in and of themselves extraordinarily prestigious, influential, etc. Quis separabit?  02:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge back to Mercy College. Not enough names to justify a separate alumni article. Ajf773 (talk) 19:13, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge what? The entries currently in the list are word-for-word identical to those in the section, except for the hyphenation in Diamond's entry.  The entries in the list without articles, now all removed, belong in Mercy College's section even less than they did in the list.  Division into Author, Sports, and Miscellaneous subsections might make sense if there were two or three times as many entries, but with just twenty - and most of them in "Miscellaneous", to boot - it'd just be clutter; and even if it were justified, it's not copyrightable information and doesn't require a merge. —Cryptic 19:37, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge to Mercy College (New York). I initially created the article because the Mercy College (New York) article could not accommodate the larger list without creating clutter. But given the lack of Wikipedia article of most names on the list and the college being relatively very young (it was established in 1950, while most colleges established in the 1800s), and also its student population being comparatively small (only about 10,000 students). I believe it's totally unnecessary to have a separate alumni article at this point in time.--Peter Dunkan (talk) 21:36, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
