These are a list of alleged contactees, and if you doubt it, just check their separate articles (:O) -

The result of the proposal was I propose that the word "Contactee" is clearly an undeniable a noun used to describe "the state of proclaiming to having been in contact with extraterrestrials", rather than "the state of actually having been in contact with extraterrestrials". Therefore, regardless of whether an individual has or has not "actually" been in contact with ET they should be called a contactee. Thus, this page should be renamed "list of contactees" or "list of self-professed contactees".
A person should only be referred to as an "alleged contactee" if an allegation has been made against them by a third party. For example, were the head of NASA to appear on CNN and say he had proof that the head of the CIA had been consorting with Martians to overthrow the Federal Government, then he may be referred to as an "alleged contactee". However, if the head of the CIA said it himself (made a self proclamation), then he would merely be a "contactee".

No, all contactees are alleged until such time as actual contactee evidence happens. Removing "alleged" is borderline POV-pushing. NPOV does not mean we have to take the lunatics listed here at their word. -- ScienceApologist 17:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
This article has been renamed from List of alleged contactees to list of contactees as the result of a move request. Although I consider it unlikely that the title would have been misinterpreted as meaning "those accused by others of having alien contact", I also see no problem with having the shorter title, since we are consistent in using a definition of "contactee" (which I assume to be the usual definition outside WP) which states that they are people who claim to have been contacted by aliens. Words like "alleged" are to be avoided. The case of spiritual mediums is different, because the definition of medium does not included "claimed". -- Stemonitis 08:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
This list could be completed by a date of contact for each one, no? 84.227.155.142 14:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
