Original

The Interlochen Alumni Organization Board serves as the liaison between Interlochen's global alumni community and Interlochen Center for the Arts. Members are elected from the Camp and Academy alumni population and serve two-year terms.

There are nearly 70,000 alumni of Interlochen Arts Camp and Interlochen Arts Academy living all over the world. Some of their names are listed below.

Talk Page Entry

The Notable Alumni section has a few issues. It's a large list, it contains a number of people who's notability is questionable, there are not verifiable sources for most listings, and there is no description of the person or their contribution. Additionally there is no distinction between attendees of the Academy, and those who just came to a summer camp one time. Ideally (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Lists of people) each entry would look something like this:

• Nora Jones^[7] - multiple Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter.

There's a long way to go to get to that stage. To kick things off, I've been through each entry in the list. The following people I've deleted as they do not currently have an entry in wikipedia (are therefore are likely not notable). It's possible to be notable and not have an article, but to stay in this list you'd need to be provide verifiable secondary sources establishing that. Feel free to add them back in with those references.

These next entries have a wikilink to some article, but they are problematic for some other reason. I've deleted them. The various reasons are listed next to their names below. Again, if you have verifiable secondary sources that show they are notable and attended Interlochen please add them back.

Everyone else, I've kept in the list for now.

This group have references attached to them in the list. They stay, but someone should probably check the links support the claim that they attended Interlochen.

The group below have wikipedia articles, and it mentions in the article that they have some association with Interlochen, and there is a reference in the article near that claim. I haven't checked the references, but ideally, someone would do that to check that the reference establishes they are an amluni, then come back here and add in the reference.

This next list is the people who have a mention of Interlochen in their article, but there's no reference anywhere near the claim. They either need deleted, or we need to find references to say they attended Interlochen.

This next list is the people who do not have have a mention of Interlochen in their article. They either need deleted, or we need to find references to say they attended Interlochen.

Not that I still haven't tackled the problem of differentiating between camp attendees and academy members. That can be for another day. AntiVan (talk) 07:03, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
