Talk:Bellarmine College Preparatory

message: Santa Clara became a university in 1912 when the schools of engineering and law were founded (rather than in the 20's, which was when the business school started). I'm not sure what Bellermine's status was at that time, however. I think that the prep devision moved into Kenna Hall in the 1920's, but I don't know if it existed seperately from the university division before that time. SCUMATT 06:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: A school that defeats Bellarmine in a swimming meet does not necessitates it's entry into Bellarmine's athletics section. If you feel the second paragraph is biased then have that edited. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.64.76.2 (talk • contribs) 01:52, April 24, 2006.
:Yes it does if it broke a long winning streak. Copysan 01:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If the loss broke a long streak, then yes its notable. If it did not, then it should be removed as non-notable. I do not know the details of it, so I cannot comment either way. From the Mercury News article that I added to the article, it does seem notable enough for inclusion. If you would please inform me of the details (with proof if possible) on my Talk page or here.

replies: text:  But did it? I left a comment on Americanuck's talk page that I was going to ask the Merc, and they haven't responded yet, so I'll just leave it at that. -- Jjjsixsix (t)/(c) @ 01:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

text:  I got a response. The Merc says that they lost to Serra in 1996 , so the loss to Campo isn't notable.  They smoked the field again this year. -- Jjjsixsix (t)/(c) @ 03:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Can someone confirm that this is the sole "official" fight song, either historically or currently? I believe there have been others that were more "common", albeit I do not know their official status. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 14:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the one that is posted up in the gym of the school. Copysan 18:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Really? Is it a new sign? ... What about the "we are *clap clap* the Bells *clap clap*" and the "B-B-E... L-L-S... B-E-L-L-S..." ones? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's a "chant". And its just "B-E-L-L-S" interspersed with tons of syncronized clapping. I don't really remember it exactly. Copysan 22:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you sure? I mean, obviously that makes the most "sense"... but I swear I recall that it had three letters, three claps, three letters, three claps, and then all five letters with five simultaneous claps... oh well. Either way, I suspect that you're correct and that those are "chants" and not the "fight song". Have you ever heard the fight song actually sung at a sporting event though? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 15:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, but I don't go to the sporting events. I hear the chant all the time at the rallies. I do see song posted in the gym, though. Copysan 22:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, in 4 years, I was at a total of ONE event. ;) The rallies were (and I presume still are) mandatory unfortunately. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 23:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 1 per year is mandatory. The others are sparsely attended, just like the liturgies. Copysan 03:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The people that go on a notable people listing in either a settlement or a school article are not the people that the school or its students think are important.  There is a basic "qualification" if you will, for inclusion on that list.  Anyone on the list needs to either have a pre-existing Wikipedia bio and there has to be references either in their bio or attached to their listing here showing their connection to the school; or you have to provide independent, reliably sourced references showing that they would qualify for a Wikipedia biography and that they have a connection to the school.  This is not optional.  I will be removing all that do not meet that qualification today. John from Idegon (talk) 17:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable people listings 

message: Two things. First, all that should be written for each entry in the way of additional copy is the ONE thing they are primarily notable for. No need to list every team or company they have been associated with.
Second, there are more than enough names to fork off a new article titled "List of notable alumni of Belamine College Prep". I'd be happy to support that. The notable alumni section here would be replaced with a see main article template. John from Idegon (talk) 01:13, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I attempted to edit the Notable Alumni section into a table format, however my changes were reverted by another Wikipedia user with the comment I should seek consensus before making the formatting change. I'm not sure why a consensus would be needed for organizing information into an easier to read format as this seems like something that is only improving the layout. I'm not seeking to add/remove data, only make it more easily digestible. The current format is just a long list of names and accomplishments with no order to them. By making them into tables as I did (one each for Athletics, Business, Entertainment, and Law & Politics), it is easier for one read names and also easier to associate notoriety. Other Notable Alumni sections are formatted this way, such as that for Harvard alumni: List of Harvard University people. I strongly urge a shift to this format for the reasons above and to make future additions easier to catalog and sort. -- CyberKwyjibo (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there are only two facts that should be included for notable alumni, the wikilinked name and the persons primary notability (see WP:ALUMNI), there is absolutely no need to sort anything. And editing tables is much more difficult than editing bullet lists. It discourages newer editors. As far as the Harvard list, first, WP:OSE and second, colleges and universities are covered by a different set of guidelines than secondary schools. I believe the guidelines for tables also discourages using them in this situation, but I'm having a senior moment and can't remember where to look for that. When I find it, I'll add to my argument.  John from Idegon (talk) 02:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, that's it. WP:WHENTABLE. To quote,  There is no need to organize data in a columnar form. And BTW, it's  "Notable alumni", not "Notable Alumni". Wikipedia is not a webhost for individual "pages". It's an encyclopedia and maintaining uniform style amongst all articles is important. Please take time to learn WP:MOS and WP:SCH/AG. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 03:26, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate the explanation. I can't say I agree with it, but if those are the guidelines, those are the guidelines. I still think formatting in tables is much easier on the eyes that viewing something in a long list. With regards to tables being difficult to edit and discouraging newer editors, it doesn't seem they're that hard. I'm not super versed in editing, but it's easy enough to just copy the entry above and edit out the information. -- CyberKwyjibo (talk) 04:11, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
