message: Seeing as the listing of Ohio State alumni that have won Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes is once again being vandalized, and the person who has been doing this repeatedly for over six months while refusing to explain himself or engage in any meaningful dialogue with other editors has submitted another request for AMA mediation, I've posted external links verifying the biographies of those in question and their links to Ohio State.  Recently, he has replaced their names with Barbara Tuchman whose sole degree was an undergraduate degree from Radcliffe.--Sam Harmon 04:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: External References for Nobel and Pulitzer Alumni

message: Any thoughts on adding him.  Sam, specifically. Rkevins 05:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess my vote would be no on two accounts: notability combined with amount of time spent at Ohio State.  If he passed the bar on one or the other, I'd say maybe.--Sam Harmon 20:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Sounds ok to me.  Perhaps we should make sure that he's mentioned as "adjunct." OlYellerTalktome 14:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: John Glenn

message: A user named TSluggo has now added "Jim Schaefer" to the list of notable people twice ([], []).  The first time I reverted it as no claim to notability was made.  I found a Detroit Journalist by that name but can find no information to verify that he went to OSU.  If his name is to be added, saying something like "Jim Shaefer - Detroit Free Press Journalist" would be acceptable but would also require a reference to show that he attended OSU.  Until then, it should not be included in the list. OlYellerTalktome 20:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Martin Luther King neither attended Ohio State nor did he receive the 1972 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Not able to edit carefully and thoughtfully now, but if someone wanted to research and find out if an OSU alum actually did receive that prize, it would be appreciated.  It is probably just random idiot vandalizing, though. (That's me, Mr. WP:AGF.) 69.138.93.65 (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I have removed from this article per guideline for alumni lists. Addition of notable alumni need a citation to a) verify that they did indeed attend the school, and b) verify the statement of their notability in their short one- or two-line description. The citation must be a reliable source. The reliable source should not include self generated content per these guidelines. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 20:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: As no objections have been raised by other editors I am going to go ahead and make the change. OgamD218 (talk) 04:49, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I object. "List of <institution> people" is the common title for these kinds of list articles. And making it only about alumni and faculty limits in ways that are not desirable e.g., no staff, no coaches. ElKevbo (talk) 04:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   I'm glad I held off another day or so on the change. The practice you reference, which I do not deny being common, it is not mandated or universal. I see your point re potential exclusions, up until now I had considered staff, coaches etc, to be covered under "faculty". May I suggest a compromise, "List of notable Buckeyes" or maybe "List of notable figures affiliated with Ohio State University". I am open to further suggestions, the current title could just as easily refer to every single people or person ever to be have come in contact with OSU-which is certainly not the page's intention. OgamD218 (talk) 11:41, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with ElVevbo about using the common title, and thus I support keeping the name consistent with the current naming convention. If there is support for a wider change across the college and university scheme, then I would support change to this one. In terms of, "every single person who came in contact with OSU", that can be handled through list description if there is an issue there. Keep in mind, the list should only include notable people with articles, and really should only include those that have OSU as a category. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:24, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The current page title isn’t exactly encyclopedic or even clear. I suggest it be changed to “List of notable alumni and faculty of Ohio State University”, or something along those lines. For those who consider the former suggestion too wordy "List of notable Buckeyes" might be appealing or at least more appealing than the current title. OgamD218 (talk) 06:28, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Suggested Title Change 

message: Within the "List of Ohio State University people," two rather dubious persons are included with no citation of proof, jeffrey dahmer and robert bales. How can these names be placed here with no proof whatsoever? I would even suspect a Michigan fan added these. NoMoreNameOptions (talk) 03:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
