There has been an attempt to reinsert large quantities of unsourced nonencylopedic content into the article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a web hosting service for the University . -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:39, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Including the table to heads of state alumni is inappropriate due to all of the reasons listed in this section title. Serves no purpose in this article other than being one of many attempts in to inflate the reputation of the University and utilize Wikipedia as a web host promotional brochure for the University at the expense of being an appropriate encyclopedic coverage. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Is the appropriate summary of List of notable Aligarh Muslim University alumnies to include in this article a cut and paste copy of the table from this section List_of_notable_Aligarh_Muslim_University_alumnies#Heads_of_State_and_Government?

it is buttly awsome
The paragraph starting with the sentence "The first chancellor of the university..." appears in many Google results, but I'm unsure if they have been copied from Wikipedia rather than the other way around. James086 Talk 17:16, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone help me with guidelines to edit University pages. Which among the followings are appropriate to be included 1) Faculties and Departments 2) Hall of Residence under Campus 3) Festivals 4) Alumni Initiatives 5) Academic Buildings under Campus 6) Administration 7) Academics 8) Student Organisations 9) Publishing 10) Colleges 11) Finance Note: The WikiPeoject: Universities cites Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur as a "good practise-adaptation of WikiProject Universities for India."

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The page has been improved now. Please have a look. I want to point it out that this Hall is about to hundred years old and one cannot find online material due to lack of digitization of old records. We have to be liberal in our outlook in matters related which are twenty years old. EyThink ( talk) 10:18, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom a few names of notable alumni can be there. See Film and Television Institute of India for reference. Already discussion regarding this took place and again you came back to point zero EyThink ( talk) 12:10, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom, have you been ever compensated by some people to not let this page grow? I don't understand why your mind is hell bent against this organisation. In every educational institute few names of notable alumnus is being mentioned always. Here you are arguing that it doesn't have any source!!! I wonder putting few names which have their own standalone article does not demand any source as the article itself is a source to reckon with. I know you can't remove the names from Harvard. Your contributions has been only removal and not addition. This university is more than hundred years old and you always ask for reliable sources. Moreover, there is no yardstick for reliability of sources but, you become a self proclaimed umpire to give judgment on reliability of sources. So, please let the article to grow.

Please see University_of_Oxford while editing this organisation. Aligarh Muslim University was established with the same pattern with that of Oxford so everything right from hostels to departments, buildings are almost identical. AMU is called Oxford/Cambridge of East by many. The founder of the institute stayed six month at Oxford to learn the pattern and implement back home. So, if Oxford can have certain sections then AMU too can. Please take note of this User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom. EyThink ( talk) 12:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi
Fuhghettaboutit, I am unable to understand that why few names of notable alumni cant be mentioned at the article page as the names are having its standalone article. All educational institutes have few names of notable alumni in their main article page (having standalone article of alumnus), so don't understand the logic in the case of this institute.

Including a reference to a movie that hasnt been released would seem to me to be about as relevant to cover as the fact that there are flies on campus. does anyone have an argument for why it should be included? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:11, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

This is page of central University with long history. It has oldest and unique history of keeping separate culture and traditions. The clubs and societies working under AMU and AMU Alumni associations are unknown to outer world. The wiki article must reflect complete info about its student activities and their academic and residential life. The info may be published or unpublished in books and journal. The wiki article should have info even it is supported by weak source. Lawoctopus1 ( talk) 06:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
