Alumni
I'm all for adding notable alumni to this listing, but at what point are they no longer notable if we don't know who they are? Some of the more recent editions seems less than recognizable. SparqMan 16:36, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I think the line is "If the person deserves a Wikipedia article, they should be in here". Best, Meelar (talk) 19:52, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
How sad that the alumni list is larger than the content of the article. It might make sense as somepoint to make an AU alumni entry, and then focus on content. SparqMan 19:17, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Given that the Business and Law section now contain many unrecognizable names, or businesspersons at companies that are not particularly well known, I think that the time has come to migrate the alumni to their own article. We can leave behind a few choice alumni examples. --SparqMan 23:51, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Here is the page: List of American University people. I'm open to suggestions on five to ten alumni that are worth including in the article.
For what it's worth, America Ferrera is listed as an alumnus, but attended through the American University Washington Semester Program in Autumn of 2004[1]. Seeing as that particular program was only a 15-week program[2] and the actress primarily attended the University of Southern California, is she an alumnus at all, much less a notable one? --Andrewno8do (talk) 21:26, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
