[edit]List of Carleton University people? There are about 30,000 of them! How about alumni? -Joshuapaquin 07:25, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Using "people" is a standard way of being able to include people who are not alumni but are strongly associated with a university (like somebody who was a professor for 30 years) in the same list, rather than making a separate list for those. / Uppland 09:38, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- But everyone on the list are alumni... -Joshuapaquin 09:59, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, but what if somebody comes around tomorrow and wants to add professor John Doe, who was not an alumnus but who was the most important figure in what has become known in the rest of the world as the "Carleton school" in the field of Whateverology. Personally I have no connection to Carleton University, and I don't see why this list has to be separate from the main university page. That article is not very long, and considering that the university is only 60 years old, I don't see how it can have that much potential for expansion. But provided it remains separate, having both a List of Carleton University alumni and another List of Carleton University faculty seems like overkill. / Uppland 10:12, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I created this list because there is already a Category:Carleton University alumni, and I thought it would provide a beneficial addition. I'd much rather have this list over the category, and I know that this list does have the potential to become quite large, both on the alumni and faculty side from just the little bit I turned up. --Spinboy 17:17, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The parenthetical comment about Peter Jennings is out of place. Correct, perhaps, but out of place nonetheless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.210.222 (talk) 01:31, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Politicians
[edit]I really would like to see a little more description on all the "politician" people - I know they're all wikilinked, but even just which level they are at or cabinet vs. backbench descriptions. Thoughts? --Padraic 00:51, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC) [Also, if someone has a chance, consistent capitalization would make this article look a lot better looking]
References required
[edit]I used to be of the same belief that it was ok only to cite sources in the article of the subject, but I started an RFC at another list, and it really has to be cited in the list. J 23:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Notable alumni
[edit]In the article, there is a section called "Notable alumni and faculty", and another section called "Other people". Both contain the names of alumni. This is confusing. I propose that, as a start, there be two lists: "Notable faculty" and "Notable alumni". Richard Apple (talk) 22:44, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- I just accidentally deleted the table because it looked redundant to the bulleted list. It turns out that it is only partially redundant. Count me as confused too. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 02:29, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
