Talk:List of Stuyvesant High School people

message: I think she should be added to business or have a separate education section for her and David Coleman. 
She's much more known and influential for being a major figure in the charter school movement.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by HorseDonkey (talk • contribs) 19:05, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Huangj2 deleted Richard Ben-Veniste (class of 1960) from the notable alumni list on 3 June 2004.  I can't understand why.  Ben-Veniste is indeed an alumnus, one of the biggest boosters the school has got in and around the Federal government.  And he's certainly notable - he helped bring down one president, defended another, and he's currently a member of the 9-11 Commission, among other appointments.
Can we please add him back?

message: Robert Moses '52 is NOT the "famed urban planner" Robert Moses, who couldn't possibly have been in high school in 1952.  I haven't heard of him before, but this appears to be him:   Dreyfus 06:42, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have an actual citation for Eagle Eye Cherry (added to Notables 18 Nov 2004) as a Stuyvesant student?  All I can find is http://www.nndb.com/people/922/000041799/ at NNDB.Com, which doesn't seem to be a source much concerned with accuracy.  His official bio just says "At the age of 12, he was sent to school in New York". RossPatterson 23:10, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Alumni Association says he's not a Stuyvesantian, so I removed him. RossPatterson 04:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There are a prodigious amount of Stuy alumni who have sat on the Supreme court of NY bench, do you think we should add them?
also I looked at the Brooklyn Tech page and saw that they have all the AP's listed should we do that here?

message: I see A1111 has created a category for Stuyvesant, "Category:Stuyvesant High School", and folks are now adding it to the assorted pages about Stuy alumni.  I'm going to chase down the ones that don't have it and add it.  We should probably remember to do that when a new one is created (hmm, sounds like a job for "StuyBot" (just kidding!)).

message: Shouldn't the title be "List of Stuyvesant High School alumni", not "List of Stuyvesant High School people"? PersonDude 01:38, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, it probably should be. RossPatterson 03:57, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily.  The other educational institutions use the formatting "List of ..... people"; see List of Princeton University people, List of Massachusetts Institute of Technology people, List of Harvard University people, etc.  Plus, we have Frank McCourt on this list, who was a faculty member, not an alumn.

thread_title:  Sloppy title 

message: Mark Bodenheimer was a Stuy grad?  I was unaware of this and I am uncertain as to its validity.  Remember that this page is only for stuy alumni, a teacher who was notable such as Bodenheimer should not be listed here.  Could someone please find evidence of this? Niffweed17 00:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, he used to speak of it often, although I don't recall what year he was.  Stuyvesant has often had students come back as teachers, and in the early 1970s there were several who made a point of reminding us that they had done this work so we could too.  I remember Donald Sussman (Biology) too - class of '65, I think.  RossPatterson 04:31, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Other than some apparent confusion in web biographies with the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn (which is reflected in Chris Rock), there doesn't seem to be any evidence that Chris Rock attended Stuyvesant High School.  Some of these bios refer to a "Bedford-Stuyvesant High School", but there isn't any such school.  There is a good chance that Rock attended Boys' High School or its successor Boys and Girls High School, which is located in Bed-Stuy.  I tried several times to confirm the Stuyvesant connection, but to no avail.  He was removed on 17:21, 14 December 2005 by an anonymous editor from Brown University, but I would have done it sooner or later myself. I'm going to remove him again, but if someone can cite a reasonbly authoritative source I'd love to be proved wrong.  RossPatterson 17:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  stuy userbox 

message: There are a lot of people on this list that are either red-linked or not linked at all. Should they even be here? I'm not asserting that these people are as unknown as your average alumnus of any school, but Wikipedia lists are de facto lists of notable subjects, not every possible subject. If we ignore the notability issue, we might as well publish the full class list from every year on here. You know what I mean? So I think we ought to remove any listed individual without an article, obviously with the openness to re-add them once someone writes an article on them. Dylan 01:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Read the discussion immediately above for a lengthy back-and-forth on this topic from a few months ago, conducted in a much wider forum than here.  Nobody ever responded after my final "Let's talk turkey" comment.  I'm perfectly happy to see the links removed rather than have them show in red, but I think the point was made very well that notability and having an article are two completely separate things, and that lack of the latter doesn't mean lack of the former. RossPatterson 03:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's long past time, so I've removed all the redlinks.  I have not deleted the entries, just removed the links. RossPatterson 01:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Notable alumni revisited

message: When new adding entries, please:
# Place them in the most-correct category.  Some folks belong in more than one.
# Check to see if there is an article on them, and link to it if so.
# Include the graduation year - e.g. "(1939)" or "(c. 1938)" if unclear.
# Keep the entries sorted by category, graduation year, surname, and given name in that order.
# Include a reference that supports their relationship to Stuyvesant.
As of this time, all existing entries have been checked to see if there are articles about the subject and linked if so; and a Google search has been conducted for references that tie the subject to Stuyvesant and whatever was found was added.  RossPatterson 02:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

message: 1.  My classmate Sam Astrachan, author of "An End to Dying", might be included under writers.
2.  I don't believe Jacob Towber has done any work in Physics.  He certainly merits a place under Mathematics.

thread_title:  Formatting Into a Sortable Table 

message: I've cleaned up the article, to remove all puffery and all redlinks who do not have some claim of notability, aside from being a professor somewhere or working for some august scientific institute.  To the extent any of the redlinks I removed are notable after all, they should be put back with a specific explanation of why they are so notable, or even better with a link to a proper stub. -- Y not? 15:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
