Alumni

edit

I have cleaned up the notable alumni section, and removed the following people, for the following reasons. Before reverting this, please discuss it here.

Supposedly was involved in the development of Britain's atomic bomb, however no references are found in a Google search for her (Jessie Brown britain atomic bomb, for instance, produces nada). I know that Google isn't the ultimate source but there must be some reference. Sources needed!

A TV presenter not really notable. Not even in the top 10 cast members listed on IMDB for the only show she presented. I suppose she is the most notable person on this talk page list.

"A daughter of the famous British cartoonist and illustrator Ronald Searle attended JAGS. It is believed that Searle drew inspiration for the costumes for his St Trinians girls from the gym-slips worn by JAGS girls. Whether he drew any other parallels between JAGS and St Trinians is not known."

The daughter of a notable person is not themselves notable. The fact that Ronald Searle was alledgedly inspired by the gym-slips worn at JAGS is of no concern to the notability of his daughter.

"interesting facts"

Firstly, such a section should not exist per WP:TRIVIA. Secondly, almost none of the contents were verified or had citations, and some were almost certainly original research. Truth is not a criteria for entry into Wikipedia - unless things are sourced then then should not be included, even if they are true. DJR (T) 22:44, 4 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
