Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stanford University/Assessment

People importance

I'm inclined to rank people articles by importance to the university not general importance so

• Top - We don't think any person here though if one had to be chosen I would say Jane Stanford (i.e., many volumes could be and might have been written about their influence upon Stanford)
• High - People who have had a profound influence upon Stanford. This includes the founders, major University presidents, and a few others (i.e., whole books could be written about their influence upon Stanford)
• Mid - People who have had a major influence upon Stanford as a whole or a profound influence upon a smaller portion of the university. Major football coaches, Deans of Schools, donors/trustees prominent for being Stanford donors/trustees, major professors (i.e., several chapters)
• Low - People of less but not insignificant influence upon the university (i.e., at least a few paragraphs could be written about their connection to the university within their Wikipedia article without seeming to be filler). I've added David Harris (protester) at the low level since he was a student leader during some of the protests in the late 60s.
• Should not be in the project - their only connection is attending/visiting/being employed with no significant influence upon the university.
