[edit] Adding a new name in the list
Once a new name is added under this list, please do not forget to put it under an appropriate Category:Ohio State University people.--140.254.115.125 11:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External References for Nobel and Pulitzer Alumni
Seeing as the listing of Ohio State alumni that have won Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes is once again being vandalized, and the person who has been doing this repeatedly for over six months while refusing to explain himself or engage in any meaningful dialogue with other editors has submitted another request for AMA mediation, I've posted external links verifying the biographies of those in question and their links to Ohio State. Recently, he has replaced their names with Barbara Tuchman whose sole degree was an undergraduate degree from Radcliffe.--Sam Harmon 04:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chick McGee
Any thoughts on adding him. Sam, specifically. Rkevins 05:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- I guess my vote would be no on two accounts: notability combined with amount of time spent at Ohio State. If he passed the bar on one or the other, I'd say maybe.--Sam Harmon 20:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Football Players
I think the list of football players is getting far too large and unruly, and some standard of notability needs to be applied. Simply playing in the NFL should not be notable enough for inclusion (note that the Olympians section only includes medal winners). I think the truly notable football alumni (Heisman, NFL Hall of Fame etc.) are getting lost in the mix. Addtionally, there is a football specific article in which to reference the Ashton Youboutys and Tom Cousieaus of the world. I'll leave this open for discussion for awhile before making any changes.--Sam Harmon 17:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Anyone? Well, here's my thoughts on paring the list down. Significant college career (Heisman or other major national award, multiple All American and/or College football hall of fame) or Significant NFL career (Pro football hall of fame or multiple All-Pro player). The run of the mill, journeyman NFL players should be noted on the football article, but their notability does not rise to the level for inclusion on the university's main alumni page. This is, after all, an article about a university and not just its football team.--24.136.30.203 15:06, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
