Talk:List of Old Norvicensians

Entries without sources

I've moved the following entries here as I cannot find any reliable sources to say that they attended NS. Until sources are found they cannot be featured on the list. Can anyone lend a hand?

• Ulli Nganga, tennis player
• William Aubrey Aitken, Bishop of Lynn
• Peter Kindersley, co-founder of the publishing company Dorling Kindersley (DK)
• Joseph Burnett, Australian naval captain
• Frederick Dudley Vaughan Narborough, Bishop of Colchester

Why do they need reliable sources? (And some of them seemed to have sources, but have then been ignored.) It seems like we're losing potentially valuable information. If you're so worried about reliable sources, then put them back in place but mark them somehow, e.g. "Source not qualified".

Accuracy and verifiability are important in an encyclopedia. In keeping with other lists of alumni I thought it best to omit entries that cannot be verified. I have found a source in The Times for Mr Kindersley (and D. Narborough), and will check again for the others. If I have overlooked a source confirming their attendance, please feel free to re-add the entry. Regards, Duffit5 (talk) 21:16, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
