List This article has been rated as List-Class on the quality scale.

We are missing some U.S. Reps and Senators and perhaps a few Governors.

And, you are missing Dierks Bentley '97, country music star and latest entrant into the Grand Ole Opry. (If you know for sure, just add Dierks)

[edit] Fischer Black

I do not think Fischer Black, was ever a Vandy faculty member. I suggest moving to here until confirmed.

Googling "Fisher Black"+"Vanderbilt" gives no result that would indicate this subject is related to Vanderbilt is any form or fashion. Therefore, I'm removing him. --Ttownfeen 05:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

It's Fis-C-her Black. But I still don't believe there is a Vanderbilt connection. This guy is part of the bedrock of modern finance, so if one is established, he should be included.

[edit] Buckles

Is Buckles a former Reagan economic advisor or not? If not, being a Vanderbilt professor is _not_ sufficient reason to be considered notable. Ttownfeen 18:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC) -edited 02:41, 12 October 2005 (UTC) by Ttownfeen

Buckles was a Clinton Advisor, so if that's your threshold, you can include him.

[edit] Roy Kramer/C.M. Newton

Neither Roy Kramer nor C.M. Newton graduated from or attended Vanderbilt - they're just important athletic figures. (Kramer went to Maryville College; Newton to the University of Kentucky.) Not sure if their profiles should be removed. Someone else might want to chime in... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonelmustard (talk • contribs)

"This is a list of notable current and former faculty members, alumni, and non-graduating attendees"... Hmm. I would assume that it could easily encompass notable staff members, in which case they can stay there. EVula 20:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sports Section

Should Sports be sub-divided into MLB, NFL, NBA, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Offthetable80 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
