[edit] Too many lists?
I've recently been examining some of the lists involving people associated with FSU. There are at least four of them: List of Florida State University alumni, List of Florida State University athletic alumni, List of Florida State University faculty, and List of Florida State University people. As one might expect, the overlap is great and much of the information is repetitive. Maintenance is difficult and the arrangement is probably not especially helpful for most users. I picked a few large or well-known schools in the country to see how others had handled the situation. University of Miami has 2 (alumni & faculty). So does University of Florida (people & faculty and administrators) and Notre Dame (alumni & athletes). University of Alabama, University of Georgia, UCLA, and Harvard manage to get by with just one (people). A single list encompassing all FSU "people" (which we already have), would, I think, be the most useful to encyclopedia users and, perhaps, to editors as well. And, it probably wouldn't be overwhelmingly difficult to merge the three other articles into "people". What do you think? Tim Ross (talk) 10:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
