Purpose: This page is for accumulating information on notable alumni that should be put in the appropriate school article, but can't be put there yet because the school article hasn't yet been made (but it's expected one will be made). A notable alumnus ideally is somebody who has an article in Wikipedia, or would warrant one based on WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC. This subpage allows for information to be gathered without creating substubs in article space.

Other use: Also, people wishing to create a new school article, may wish to look here when selecting which school to write about, as schools with notable alumni tend to make articles with more interesting information that appeals to a broader range of people.

Please only include alumni if a reliable source verifies they went to the school. When creating an article based on information here, it's obviously necessary to reverify the information (e.g. consider the same name may exist for two schools, or two people; other sources of potential error). Finally, if you find a great source of notable alumni, but haven't the time to list them all here, just post a link here and somebody else will be able to use the information.
