There ought to be mention of classical scholars such as Edgar Lobel, Sir John Beazley, WS Watt, KJ Dover and RGM Nisbet, to name only ones I have known personally, and all world-class. They could take the place of quite a lot of facetious trivialities that make parts of this article embarrassing to read. Esedowns ( talk) 18:20, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

I believe the section titled 'Scandal' fails the second part of Wikipedia:Reliable sources and undue weight. This is an incident covering three months in 2021 in a history section that is supposed to summarise 759 years of the College. These sorts of edits are becoming more regular on Wikipedia pages and turn encyclopaedic articles into news reporting. I will remove the section in the near future to improve the page, unless any other experienced editors disagree strongly or can provide an alternative.

The list looks like it's been drawn up by the college's spin doctors, and probably needs a good pruning if its first name is any guide. The only association of Pauling with Balliol is that he spent a year there as a visitor once already famous. [1] so he was neither a student nor really part of faculty. 130.190.87.39 ( talk) 16:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
