Talk:List of people associated with Balliol College, Oxford

message: Balliol alumni are often talented and to indulge all the high achievers could crowd this page to the point of hubris. There should be some principles for determining inclusion on this page and suggestions are welcome. I propose that those included should be notable or exceptional in some way. Whilst much can be achieved early in life, the temptation should be resisted to place individuals of the wikipedia generation upon a pedestal until the passage of time provides proof. I suggest that the following taken individually are insufficient grounds for inclusion:
* a current member of the academic staff 
* a recently published book

replies: text: Some of the recent entries seem difficult to justify - William Wallace a philosopher?; non-students; red entries; graduates with promising but unproven contributions etc. - a more objective approach needs to be found.. JPF 10:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If the individual has been judged worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, s/he should be worth including in Wikipedia's List of Balliol College people. Sir Paul 16:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fictional alumni 

message: 1. I added Atul Gawande (1987) to the list. Balliol recognises his achievements.
2. Would it not be helpful to be a bit more discriminating, rather than lump anyone of repute in mathematics, medicine, science or technology under the same heading? Maybe sub-headings of Medicine, Science, Mathematics, Technology would suffice?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.115.253 (talk) 00:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  More discrimination under Mathematics, Science and Technology 

message: It is odd that there is no mention of scholars such as Cyril Bailey, Edgar Lobel, R.A.B.Mynors, Sir John Beazley, William S. Watt, K.J. Dover, R.G.M.Nisbet, to name but a few, of probably scores, that I can think of off the top of my head, and some among the highest in their field of all time. There must be modern language scholars also.    Seadowns (talk) 15:07, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , feel free to add them under the appropriate subheading as long as they have a Wikipedia article! These lists unfortunately tend to be very incomplete, probably in part due to them somewhat replicating categories. Best, 15 (talk) 15:16, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
