List of National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli alumni[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The institute's main article at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli previously had about 50 people listed as alumni, plus a link to the subject of this AFD. After going through the people named in the main article, I reduced it down to 8 people who currently have their own article, plus commented out two more who have an article which doesn't mention this institute as an alma mater. The list article actually has less people than what was previously at the institute's article, but it boils down to it being the same handful of notable people. There are not enough notable alumni to warrant a separate list, so I think this can be deleted. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You could have dealt with this just by redirecting the list back to National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli#Notable alumni. The validity of individual entries is a matter for normal editing and discussion, as is whether there are enough notable entries to merit a separate list based on WP:SIZE concerns. So this shouldn't have been brought to AFD at all, and certainly not before such alternatives had been attempted/discussed per policy at WP:ATD. Redirection has never been attempted, the list's talk page has never even been used, and the issue has also not been raised on the parent article's talk page. postdlf (talk) 21:13, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I could have redirected it, and have done so for other articles in the past. But on this occasion I considered that the title is not a "useful search" term as mentioned at WP:ATD; the average reader is surely going to look for the school's article first. The parent article's talk page hasn't been used in about 5 1/2 years, so I couldn't see the point in starting a discussion there when it is unlikely to garner any attention.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
