List of members of the Council of Keble College, Oxford

 * Nominator(s): BencherliteTalk 22:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, I ran out of lists to write about Jesus College, Oxford, and so have moved on to the next college alphabetically, as part of my plan for world domination. I've written articles for 15 of the 54 names on the list. 7 names are "blacklinks" because I don't see that they're sufficient notable for their own articles (e.g. never made it into Who's Who, didn't get an obituary in The Times) and I don't think that being a member of the Council without more is sufficiently notable to trump a lack of coverage about them. No dab links, all images have alt-text and are from Commons, only one external link. Have fun. BencherliteTalk 22:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - I really have nothing to add: this is a fine list that covers an obscure but interesting topic comprehensively and well, that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Excellent work. (By coincedence, it seems likely that the black linked William Sackville-West is the father of the subject of an article I wrote a few years back: Charles Sackville-West, 4th Baron Sackville. I agree that he probably isn't notable, but I do enjoy these unexpected connections that Wikipedia can throw up).--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:47, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment – There are a lot of old images in this list, and I'm uncertain about the licensing in a couple of cases for the photos next to the table. Can we find someone more knowledgeable than myself on image licensing to check the photos?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:16, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Oppose world domination but support article Unfortunately, I can't bring any specific knowledge to this review, the subject is completely new to me. I was looking for more to say (if only so the review wouldn't look painfully superficial!), but I think the article meets the FL criteria already. Well done on creating a great list.

 * "and many were not otherwise linked to the university": does this mean that many had no link with the university prior to joining the council, or that aside from being an alumni of the college had no connection with the university? Other than that, the lead's good and answered all my questions (how the Council was selected, its role, etc).
 * Was the Warden chosen from or by the council?


 * Reworded as "many did not have other continuing links with the university" - some were alumni of Keble or elsewhere but were making their mark in the wider world rather than as university academics.
 * I'm sure they did, will double-check my (limited) sources when I'm back at work next week and give a specific ref if possible. Thanks for your comments. BencherliteTalk 15:26, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
