thread_title: Alphabetisation

message: Ramachandra Guha and a couple of others seem to be the only academics on this list. No other contributions to History, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, ... ? Mahoka 10:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Academics

message: And what about attributions to for instance, 1. who coined the term "Stephenians" and 2. which critics have spoken of "A Stephen's School of Literature"? 58.68.48.82 (talk) 08:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources

message: The lack of citations renders this article totally unreliable. Additionally, since many of the people in the list are still living, it must adhere to the need for citations under the WP:BLP criteria Fiddle Faddle (talk) 11:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I intend to start to remove all uncited entries on this list shortly. There is a banner at the head of the article calling for citations, and this message has been here on the talk page since 7 May 2012. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 06:22, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sufficient time has elapsed since my last message on removal of alumni for me to take the step of removing all uncited people from the list. Any and all of these people and more may be re-added provided citations in reliable sources are in place that both verify their notability and show that they are alumni of this establishment. People re-added without citations will be removed from the list. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 10:16, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Almost total lack of citations  - removal of uncited names from the list

message: In order to seek to prevent chaos descending upon this list again I have requested the following edit notice be created and applied. It is uncontroversial in that it upholds Wikipedias need for citations:
The reason for the edit notice is that the article has been edited historically section by section. As the list of notable alumni regerows the edit notice will be easily available wherever the list is edited. 
The eventual wording of the notice may vary. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 11:20, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: and applied to the page. Now every alumnus will be a cited alumnus and the article will be the better for it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:14, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit Notice 

message: I've removed the following statement and will consider adding them again once the initial list is done. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "The preponderance of Stephanians in Indo-Anglian writing was so great for some time that some critics began to speak of the "Stephanian School of Literature". This issue has been heavily debated in the book The Fiction of St. Stephen's, by various writers and scholars, including Amitav Ghosh, Shashi Tharoor, Upamanyu Chatterjee, Mukul Kesavan and Khushwant Singh. The book is edited by Aditya Bhattacharjea and Lola Chatterjee."
*I've been ambivalent about that statement for some time. I've left it alone out of inertia, but feel that it adds little to the alumni article. Its place, surely, is in the college's article. if anywhere? Good removal. Fiddle Faddle 17:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Currently removed material - Considering adding them later

message: I like very much the additions with their attendant citations. A plea, though. Please make sure the sections are in alphabetical order of family name? It's far easier to do this now than to wait for the future. Fiddle Faddle 13:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *They are meant to be in order of family name, sub sorted by order of forename(s) within family name. From experience it is so much easier to do these as you go than to re-order them later. Fiddle Faddle 13:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *I have now both ordered the entries by family name and reinstated a comment in each section regarding alphabetical order. Please let us adhere to this. Fiddle Faddle 13:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *  TheOriginalSoni (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *Good job everyone, Timtrent hadn't it been for your motivation this wouldn't have happened. Prabash.Akmeemana  14:52, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *I take no credit for the work of others. I simply insisted that any alumnus must be cited as such. My own work here has been small. Fiddle Faddle 14:58, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
