Reliable Sources[edit]

Books LLC is not a reliable source. It is listed on the Mirrors and Forks page here. The front page of WP:MF states "Mirrors and forks are not reliable sources and may not be listed as external links in articles." JanetteDoe (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC) Some one is attempting vandalism out of jealousy of this great institution and removing names of people who have made significant contributions in various areas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.202 (talk) 00:22, 3 March 2012 (UTC) [reply]

That is hopeless. It is a mirror, just as noted above. I quote from the blurb, "To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing," - Sitush (talk) 02:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

merge proposal[edit]

This article should be merged to Lawrence School, Sanawar. The list is brief enough that it can be easily maintained in the parent article on the school. Any objections?--RadioFan (talk) 17:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems a very sensible idea to me. Since I removed the many non-notable redlinked names, the list is quite short! Sionk (talk) 23:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware of the merge proposal. The list was created following this discussion on the main article talk page. Also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Old Sanawarians did not seem to find a consensus for merger. At its present reduced length, I understand your doubt about whether it is needed as a separate page, RadioFan, but there is still the issue of sources.

The list (on the main article) has been culled of any entries which are not referenced at least in their bio article. It's been restored with the same huge list a couple of times by an anonymous IP from the NY Public Library but these have been reverted.--RadioFan (talk) 07:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
