List of NYU Stern people

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't get the point of this list...it's a list of past and present professors of a university? Sounds like it fails wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information  su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 18:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Article does not even say what a "NYU Stern" is, which is annoying. If you're going to write an article about a university faculty (I'm assuming that's what it is?), you should use the full university and faculty name at the top of the article. -- Charlene 18:27, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a list of notable people who have attended the Stern School of Business at NYU. I'd say merge into Stern School of Business; if there's any objection to that, delete. Opinion changed; see below. Deor 19:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a category is much better at grouping alumns Corpx 19:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Delete, Merge the most notable into Stern School of Business, make a category for the rest and delete this list. Burzmali 20:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge but:
 * 1) the merge would be to List of New York University people There are a great many pages along this pattern, in the category Lists of people by university in the United States], all with both notable faculty & notable alumni. There are 3 for individual Colleges at NYU, but this does not seem to have been done for other schools, and I do not think it is a desirable innovation, even though the people named are exceptionally notable (half the faculty listed have won the Nobel prize) See the List of Harvard University People for a way to handle the resulting large lists.
 * 2) On the other hand, if there should be other lists of this sort for other schools, we should consider at some more central location which way we want to go--I do not think lists by colleges within schools is a necessarily poor way to to it when the schools are as important as this one.

 * I've just compared the two lists, and everyone listed in List of NYU Stern people also appears in List of New York University people except for two: Adam Brandenburger and Fred Poses, both of whom lack WP articles. If anyone wants to add them to List of New York University people, please do so; but I'm changing my !vote on this list to delete as superfluous. Deor 03:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep or create and merge into a category. --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 02:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
