List of commencement speakers at Rice University

Not a WP:NOTABLE topic. It has been in CAT:NN for 8 years; hopefully we can now resolve it one way or the other. Boleyn (talk) 07:11, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination since no encyclopaedic purpose is served by such a list. Another dinosaur from the days of everything-goes Wikipedia, put together by a kamikaze account. -The Gnome (talk) 08:15, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I believe we deleted another list of commencement speakers for another university about eight weeks ago. Mccapra (talk) 08:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete This is not something worth having an article on. Giving a speech is just not important enough to justify a seperate list article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete They've clearly had many notable speakers, but I don't think listing them is notable per se. If Rice want to maintain (and for all I know, perhaps they do?) on their website such a list, the main article can then easily link to that. And if they don't, I don't see why we should. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
