[edit] The "Notable Old Bromsgrovians" section needs cleaning up

A couple of things to consider:

  1. It's much, much too long and makes the article look unbalanced. Either the list should be edited down a lot, or the list of names should be split off into a separate list article, probably to be called List of Old Bromsgrovians.
  2. People's titles, ranks etc should not be part of article names. For example, there's a redlink to Revd Charles Wilmott; this should point simply to Charles Wilmott. There are absolutely heaps of examples of this sort of thing in the list, all of which need changing.
  3. A few of the brief descriptions after the names are too long. Tim Scott Bolton's is probably the worst offender, being almost a stub article in itself!

Agree - it needs slimming down considerably. The convention is that only people notable enough to have their own separate article make it onto alumni lists. There are some silly entries too, like Santa Claus and Tiger Woods. Psidogretro (talk) 05:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "National Hockey Finals"

I'm not sure the addition of the fact that the school amde the National Hockey Finals is really something worthy of note. The school has been doing this for a number of years, and indeed there are a number of schools that have made more - Millfield I believe being one. I propose to move that reference. Keeping the reference regarding the Rugby is a must, but think it might need some more info. Does anyone have any? --Nunners (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
