Talk:List of Oberlin College and Conservatory people

message: The List of Brown University people is organized by category.  Is the Oberlin list long enough for that treatment?  Sometimes pure alpha is better.  Matchups 05:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I also wonder how useful (or encyclopedic) it would be to have an auxiliary page listing alumni by year.  Maybe only fun for other Obies curious to see who made it big from their class.  Matchups 05:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organization by year 

message: Word has come about as a result of some investigation by a NYC reporter, it appears that Yvette Clarke may have not actually completed her coursework at Oberlin College. I've commented out her entry in the Alumni list as a result.   -/- Warren 21:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Yvette D. Clarke]] 

message: commented out: can't find any mention of him attending Oberlin; the only thing I could find connecting him to Oberlin is here:   Mentions that his younger brother was attending, and tried to set up a job for him. --User:Alxndr 29 May 2006 (Note moved from a comment on the article page when note below was written.)
:I found several web sites which indicate that he attended; indeed, even the site referenced above says so.  However, it was brief, and he did not graduate.  The practice for such people has been to list them without a year (of graduation), so I have modified the entry accordingly. Matchups 14:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: commented out Aaron Walker: linked article is about a blues guitarist; nothing to be found about a naval historian named Walker on Wikipedia yet. --User:Alxndr 29 May 2006
Aaron Walker, to the best of my knowledge, is a current student at Oberlin.  You can find him in Oberlin's student directory.  Recommend deletion, pending Aaron's potential graduation and rise to eminence. --User:Echuck215 30 May 2006

message: I'm working on adding a whole bunch more authors, based on information at the College's web site.  I'm just mentioning it here because it may take a while and I don't want anyone else wasting their time duplicating the effort.  See User:Matchups/Sandbox for the work in progress.
Also, once that's done, I'd like to add subheadings by first letter of last name and a compact TOC.  Anyone know the template for that? (If not, I'm sure I can track it down.) Matchups 12:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More authors coming 

message: Jarfingle, thanks for your work on this article.  I reviewed the ones you deleted and would like to know the rationale.  Here are my comments on the six individuals:
* Martha Atkins -- agree; red link, no information
* Bruce Beasley -- appears to be notable based on web searching.  Many libraries have his works, and other indications support keeping him.
* Kenneth Cole (electrophysiologist) -- referenced at Voltage clamp; that seems like a good enough reason to keep him.  Should the link be changed to match the other article, as I've done in this message?
* Dorothy DeLay has blue link; why was she removed?  Her entry confirms her attendance at Oberlin, and the College's web site gives her year of graduation as 1937.
* Chris Eldridge -- I searched when he was initially added and thought that The Stringdusters seemed notable, but could go either way on this one; I'm not an expert on band notability.
* John Ferguson (organist) also has a blue link and his article confirms his attendance.

thread_title:  Deletions A-F 

message: This edit says that it was deleting somebody because she was redlinked, therefore not notable.  Sorry, but this is not a valid conclusion.  There are plenty of notable alumni who do not yet have Wikipedia pages, and it is not policy for this page that red links are disallowed (unlike calendar DOB pages, for example).  As it happens, this particular alumna probably is NN, based on a web search.  Matchups 01:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red links 

message: His novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey got the novel Pullitzer in 1928. Is there some reason he's not in the list of Pullitzer laureates? Is it to avoid double-counting? I think he should be mentioned anyway to make the list of Pullitzer winners more exhaustive, and then maybe there can be a note next to his name below saying he's already mentioned above. I'm not doing this change myself because I want to see beforehand if there's a specific reason why it hasn't been done already.
