Notable alumni

[edit]

Not only is this a list of {{famous}} people which needs inclusion criteria, many (e.g. the redlinked articles) are entirely unreferenced. Please fix this, or better, remove the section altogether. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:02, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Concerning the sportspeople, when creating the article I confirmed that each of them meet the relevant criteria for their sport in WP:ATHLETE. I commented out some players who are included in the corresponding Japanese article but do not meet our criteria, for example a baseball player who is yet to make a first team appearance, so therefore fails WP:NBASE. A lot are still red links, but I have checked each meet the relevant criteria for their sport. I've created articles for two of them, and may get around to doing more someday. In the meantime, I can add a reference against each name.
The non-sporting people are harder. There is one singer who has an English article, plus the politician at the bottom of the list meets WP:POLITICIAN as a member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly, so they are ok. I originally included all that had a Japanese wiki biography because this article is already quite sports-heavy and I wanted to give it some balance. However, I have had a second look at the Japanese biography of each person and have just commented out three more from the list that have unsourced bios and are of questionable notability. The rest have sourced Japanese biographies and look like they satisfy our WP:GNG. I will try to find a source for each to confirm they were students of the school.
By the way, is the {{ref improve}} tag at the top of the page only to do with the alumni list, or do you have other concerns also? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
