Talk:List of librarians

message: moving all the dual notability one into the top.
I am left with:
# a number of people notable  in other fields where WP has no bio data indicating they've been a libarian. If aanyone can get some, we should add it the their bio articles, and then list them here.
# a number of librarians with articles in WP that did not seem notable (to me). The easiest way to avoid a dispute would be to add them all, but I want to at least add them with a nore about who they are
# a number of names where WP had no bio info; I   dont know where the list came from. Anyone finds info, we should add.
##this then bring up the ones not in WP, or where the library aspect wasn't noticed. As far as I am concerned the present director of every ARL library and large city /state library qualifies for notability, and should be added to the article for their library, and to the list. We've gotten most of the eminent researchers in librarianship. If we're goingto include inf sci that are a good many more. How much of a bio we need, I dont know. I think short bio articles are fine, and wI'd like to get  WP to stop marking them as stubs. 
##previous directors of real note should be included--the distinction for academics holds--will any one outside their own school know about them. 
##presidents of the ALA should go in if not in all already
##long term eds. of the major journals. 
##and then all the library school faculty. Fortunately there are only about 500. I'd leave the out unless they've published more than the average. 
As am not in the least intending to do all this. I will add people I know. I see no harm in adding a red link--it shows what we  need, which will be a lot. Might make a good library school exercise: add the faculty. DGG 06:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

text: There's already librarians in popular culture, but perhaps that should be linked to from this article?  I didn't know it existed, myself, until I clicked on the Librarians category.  Maria 17:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Librarians in fiction

message: This article needs heavy cleanup to avoid self-references. The list needs to be categorised by something other than the status of their Wikipedia article. Thryduulf 18:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: there are really only two real categories, for primarily librarians and primarily not librarians, and then the ones that were unclassifiable based on immediate information screened on the basis of info at hand. The best way of taking care of those would be to find the information. I didn't want to remove them, because some are undoubtedly notable.  I've at least separated out the problems, but I have no idea where the original lists came from, and finding the rest of the bios needed is up to others.DGG 03:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Self-references

message: ..was a librarian for a while (although not qualified) according to this article in The Guardian and the biography on his webpage. NickW 16:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree. Many people work in libraries and gain as much experience and as many skills as those with library qualifications - hence the concept of para-professional qualification etc.. Some people may already have several degrees and don't want another. I think attitudes to these distinctions vary by country though. For the record I'm a professionally qualified librarian.

message: to start removing folks who are not blue links or who don't have a pretty good eight word (carp math) explanation of notability. Being someone's parent is not (opinion)good  enough. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 04:52, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
