List of University of Waterloo people
previous FLC (20:12, 11 May 2008)

After adding a few more hundred people, I think this list is now ready. Gary King ( talk ) 21:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * What is the inclusion criteria for the list? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  21:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This list, like List of Wilfrid Laurier University people, was missing a lot of people before. After nominating and having successfully passed List of Wilfrid Laurier University people, I realized that I had to go out and do more research to find people that weren't in the list. I just spent a few weeks looking for more people to add and finally came up with this list. It's significantly more comprehensive than it was at its last FLC nomination; of course, it will never be completely comprehensive, but most of the university's notable graduates are in the list.

 * Speedy fail due to it being a list about an inferior university How come you didn't add any honorary degree recipients this time? -- Scorpion 0422  22:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * For one thing, I added honorary degree recipients to Wilfrid's list because there weren't as many people associated with the university. Another reason is because WLU offers a handy-dandy list that shows all honorary degree recipients. Waterloo, however, does not offer such a list. Gary King  ( talk ) 22:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Support: Thanks for your kind responses to my concerns. The list looks good and appears to meet all FL criteria. --Eustress (talk) 00:06, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking of putting the template immediately below the TOC, yet still above all the section headers. It's just a thought, I liked how it looked.  Either way, I support.  Nice work!  « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @  01:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, then, I would prefer having it above the TOC rather than directly below, because I think it looks better when immediately after the TOC comes a section heading. In my opinion, that should always be the case. Gary King  ( talk ) 01:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine with me! « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @  01:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
