When we list out achievements in quizzing let's mention only winner and runner-up finishes. Third place finishes, though creditable, need not be mentioned. -- Loyolite 07:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Please discuss in this forum before deleting anything. Chandrasekhar M. Nair is a notable alumnus of the school and his name has been included back. -- Loyolite ( talk) 11:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

To prevent an undue increase in page length due to an increase in the number of references, the two-column layout earlier present has been replaced with a three-column layout.-- Loyolite ( talk) 08:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
On 13 June 2011, the Notable Alumni section of Loyola School, Thiruvananthapuram was deleted on the ground: "Removed 'Notable Alumni' section - criteria for inclusion subjective". The judgement was fair (the criteria were subjective), but wasn't the action (deleting entire section) disproportionate? Some names on the list (like Santosh Sivan (1976), Sreenath Sreenivasan (1987), and Pulickel Ajayan (1977)) could have been retained on the basis of their long-standing biographical entries in the Wikipedia.
May I hence propose the following rule: if a Loyola School alumnus has a Wikipedia entry which is at least 3 years old, his name (and link) can be included in the Notable Alumni section. This rule has objectively verifiable criteria, uses Wikipedia's peer review system itself to measure notability, and adds value to the article.
"3 years" is subjective, but since fresh Wikipedia entries are monitored, a three-year old biographical entry is in itself proof that it has passed Wikipedia's test of "notability".

This page is a horrible mess right from the start. A lot of it looks like it was done by the school's PR arm or some uncoordinated groups of alumni or teachers. It's absolutely ridiculous because an overwhelming majority of the unsourced, many more are poorly written, and others are not properly sourced. The way sentences are framed is so weird, not only from the point of writing entries on Wikipedia, but also in general, suggesting a massive bias. It's an absolute shitshow. This paragraph should make clear what I mean
I'm starting this talk page to create a discussion on how this entry should be maintained and edited. Right now, I've deleted one section ("Hindu Young World Quiz") and "Quiz" under Cultural Activities and moved them to the Achievements. I haven't deleted them outright in respect of the work other editors have put in, in sourcing some of the claims. However, I do like to point out that a lot of this seems frivolous for a school entry. There needs to be some kind of consensus on what is appropriate for this entry or else this page will become an advertisement for the school. Would be interested in knowing your thoughts.
