Inclusion criteria

edit

As stated at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Adding individual items to a list:-

  1. All lists must have clearly defined inclusion criteria
  2. Every entry should meet the notability criteria for its own article. Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the list, and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future. This prevents indiscriminate lists, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers.
  3. Editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles.
  4. All list entries must follow Wikipedia's core content policies of Verifiability (by citing reliable sources as references), No original research, and Neutral point of view

This list failed most of these requirements in that:-

  • There are no clearly defined inclusion criteria
  • Many of the entries were not "verifiably a member of the list" in that they had neither an article nor a reference
  • As per the above rules, all redlinks, without a citation, were removed

The list still has problems, in that

  • Many of the remaining names are still not "verifiably a member of the list", in that their articles do not include a reference to show that they were at Haberdashers' and in some cases, do not even mention Haberdashers' at all.
  • These need to be have references added, or their names removed from this list - Arjayay (talk) 14:40, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
