Talk:Microsoft Student Partners

message: Early versions of this page denounced as sounding too much like an advertisement were at least accurate, seeing as they were pulled directly from communications with those that run the program. While Wikipedia isn't a place for copy and paste, at least it was accurate. In particular, the benefits section directly contradicts the facts. No financial incentive? That simply isn't true.
:I am a MSP, and there are no financial incentives. Besides that, I would like to suggest removal of the worldwide MSP list. There are over 500 MSP all over the world. There is no point in making a list to be displayed on the wiki page. Its like displaying a list of all the employees of a company. Just silly.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.130.233 (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

"Student Partners are employees of Volt Services Group and as such are paid and employed by Volt." AFAIK this is not true. Where did this come from and what does it actually mean? - Archantes (talk) 12:06, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Clearly, this kind of list of arbitrary names is not intended to be in Wikipedia, so I think the burden of justification is on the side of those wishing to include these names in the article. (You do realize that there are almost 1500 of them?) Frankly, that makes no sense to me. And, also, for the sake of the discussion, please state your arguments, instead of deleting mine. - Archantes (talk) 23:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I must agree.  The list is completely unsourced and incomplete.  What's more, it doesn't fit in with the notability policy that you quoted above.  I have removed the list to which you refer.  ~a (user • talk • contribs) 20:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And apparently it was added again. Now, it seems that someone wants to keep the list of the names in the article, despite the fact that it does not belong there. I do not know how many there are in favor of inclusion, since they do not state their opinion on this talk page, and just keep removing comments on the subject. This has gone on for some time now, and other measures might have to be taken to resolve this, if discussion is not possible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archantes (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
