Talk:List of National Institutes of Technology alumni

Hmm

Yeah, that is necessary. Any lay person who sees this will not understand what this article is about. Being Indian I myself can. I will try to edit this page and provide introductions but I am new to wikipedia so it might take a while.

Okay I edited it finally, hope it gives a better idea about this topic. Tomsshaji 23:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Huh?

Please tell us what NIT is. Without that explanation, the article is just a bunch of words. Lou Sander 00:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Trimming down the names

A majority of the names in this article are redlinks. Some people have been described simply as "physics genius", etc. I'm going to remove all the names that are IMO not worthy of inclusion. Any opinions? Aditya Ex Machina 08:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Removing non-notable people

I just removed a bunch of unlinked or redlinked names based on the following policies/rationale:

1. Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information.
2. Per WP:V, information on Wikipedia should be verified in independent, reliable sources. None of the removed names had verification that they went to NIT or held the positions that were listed.
3. Per WP:BLP, we must take extra care with any information about living persons in any article. Sourcing requiremetns for living persons are especially stringent, so this essentially takes the previous point and amplifies it.

So, in order to be listed here, a person should either 1) have their own wikipage or 2) have a reliable source (as delineated in WP:RS) explaining why the person is more notable than the average graduate. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Format

Though there was no consensus for deletion of this article, there seemed to me that there was consensus for using the list as placeholder for links to lists of alumni for the specific institutes. I therefore went bold and did that. --Muhandes (talk) 13:05, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
