"notable alumni" edit

The lead sentence says "notable alumni" but it looks to me like the article is trying to list all alumni. Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia isn't a directory or an indiscriminate collector of information; I suggest that all red linked names be removed. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm in support of red linker removal (or at least linking red linkers to their notable works). Adding some context to notable alumni, links to their works, etc, would be helpful for browsers, but also constitutes a major project Somerut (talk) 03:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I agree, and I see no other views. The article is more red than blue. When entries include links or assertions that show some notability, then I don't mind so much, but these are just names with no indications of why anyone other tthan their frineds and family would know of these people. I've hesitated in the past to be too striongent with these types of lists, epsecially when we created biographies of every single professional athlete, but this should only be a list of notable people.   Will Beback  talk  22:01, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Agree. Those without a wiki article, or at least a strong reason given for notability, should be removed. Plazak (talk) 12:53, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I removed more red links today, without an article no nobility is established. Jooojay (talk) 04:21, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Visiting artists edit

I removed the unsourced visiting artist sections from the list. An artist visiting an art school is an incredibly common event, and unless such an event is notable and covered by secondary/independent sources, I don't see why a list should be written about it. It doesn't seem to meet WP:CATALOG #1 or #7. And I don't see how (possibly being paid for) visiting/lecturing at an art school is a strong enough connection to CalArts to be added to a "List of CalArts people".

If an artist visit is historically significant, then it might have a better place on the school's article. Or, at the very least, it should be independently sourced. Either way, I also don't see the precedent for this - I rarely, if ever, see other school lists with sections for "Visiting artists". - Whisperjanes (talk) 18:37, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
