Removal of names mentioned in this list very soon

  • Unless someone can prove if names mentioned in this list qualify on
    BIO1E validation. Wifione Message 16:37, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply

  • Muhandes, I agree with most of your removals. However, I believe some of the items removed do satisfy notability criteria: for example,
    Ramchandra Guha and Pradeep Gupta. Aurorion (talk) 12:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply

Pending removal of names

Please note. I intend to remove all those names that do not qualify on our notability guidelines. It perhaps makes little sense to keep including each and every vice president, or director or top manager of any organisation who is an IIM Calcutta alumnus. The list is close to being seen as a telephone directory of top managers from IIM Calcutta than notable alumni. If there's any strong reason to the contrary and to not deleting non notable persons, please mention here in a couple of days. Also, kindly read up on

our verifiability policy. Thanks. Wifione Message 15:12, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply

  • Thanks for the reply Aurorion. I think we can draw a balance. I understand what you're saying. But frankly, I expect that from such a top institution which has existed for ages, there would be quite too many CEOs, MDs etc. So we really need to draw the line so that the individuals mentioned on this page are truly those that are notable.
    REDFLAG. So in all I guess we could include people who have been mentioned by at least two reliable sources in detail and not just in passing. Do you think this sounds workable? Do tell. Wifione Message 04:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply

  • Thanks for the reply. From what I understood from
    LISTPEOPLE, each entry in the list need to satisfy two requirements: (a) notability of the person; and (b) membership in the list, which in this case means a source to prove that he/she is an alumnus of this institute. For the second part, you say that a reference on a company website would not be enough but an IIM-C website reference would do - I don't understand why. If IIM Calcutta's website can be taken as a reliable source for this, why not the website of a company? If not smaller companies, what about well known companies like, say, Nokia? For the first part - notability, would a few references from secondary sources (like news articles) do? I just edited the citations for the first entry in the list - "Abhay Pandey", adding one secondary source with him and his company as the subject, and another source saying he is an IIM Calcutta alumnus - do you think they are okay?

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... doesn't meet CSD criteria --121.241.119.242 (talk) 09:33, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 12 June 2012

This page contained a larger list of names with multiple references for each name. Several names from this list - including some about notable persons with WP pages - were deleted from this page by a user without any discussion. This edit needs to be reverted and the names added back.

 Not done See the guidelines Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Lists of people, Wikipedia:Red link, and the essay Wikipedia:Write the article first. Only those both with articles and reliably sourced should be listed, although if someone, for example, became head of state, a position of automatic notability, they could be added before the article. This has been discussed above starting in December 2011, and the repeated re-insertions are why the article is semi-protected to begin with. Dru of Id (talk) 03:15, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Several items satisfying both those criteria - with articles and reliably sourced - were removed from the list. One example: Sabyasachi Hajara
I have restored him as his removal was collateral damage of a mass revert, his article was unlinked until 11 June, but the edit which linked it redlinked another; I will also restore Venkat Viswanathan momentarily - the cited reference is unavailable, but one from his article is.
