List of commencement speakers at Johns Hopkins University

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable, basically a copy of https://commencement.jhu.edu/our-history/commencement-speakers/ (though perhaps not enough prose to count as a copyvio, not sure) DannyS712 (talk) 16:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'm wondering about the purpose of this list, along with List of Georgetown University commencement speakers and List of Williams College commencement speakers. Are the lists considered notable, just because the orgs are? I'm learning towards not. -OXYLYPSE (talk) 08:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, Not a notable topic -OXYLYPSE (talk) 08:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - A mess, but likely notable under WP:LISTN. It does need better citations and general cleanup / improvement. I wouldn't say this is a copyvio - doesn't really meet the threshold of originality. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This is never going to be a notable topic. If the speaker being there was inpactful enough to remember 50 years later it can be included in the main article, there is no reason to trace every one of these and this is going to lead to major creations of even more unneeded lists if we do not nip this craziness in the bud.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:08, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable encyclopedic topic, and the links above should be reconsidered as well. Not covered as a group independently Reywas92Talk 21:14, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete If these people are notable, their commencement speeches can be listed in their article. This seems like an odd list to have been made. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:15, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
