Usability and relevance, not entirely convinced that such a list is needed.--Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:15, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)


As the author of the page, my defense is that I wish to get some sense of the global impact of Jesuit Education, as possibly one of the most succesful education networks in the world. One way of doing that is to develop a comprehensive list of Jesuit alumni or students. Wikipedia seems perfect for this as it opens this list for contributions from areas of the world where this information is difficult to encounter, eg Egypt, middle East, Russia, Japan, etc..... SO clearlt my vote is to keep it... Hope that convinces you!

  • Keep, usable and relevant list. Kappa 11:46, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep but only if renamed. A major movement like Jesuits would deserve a page on famous members - but this page title implies that anyone who graduated as a Jesuit could be listed there, which is unencyclopedic. Radiant_* 12:41, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
         ------ Response to this comment-------
         A point of clarification... there is a already a page on the Jesuits
        which incorporates a list of famous Jesuits and link to pages about them. 
        This is not a page of people who have graduated as Jesuits, but of famous
         and influential students who have graduated from educational institutions
         founded and run by the JEsuits.  There is a a section on Jesuit Education in
         the original page on the Jesuits and this page is a link from it. I have
         changed the title as suggested to avoid this ambiguity.  Timsj 14:17, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
