Talk:List of Ateneo de Manila University people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should the Honoris Causa holders be separated into another table? Circa 1900 16:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter. They're still technically alumni.Rmcsamson 17:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, how about moving this to List of Ateneo de Manila University people/List of Ateneo de Manila University alumni as seen at Category:Lists of people by university in the United States? Circa 1900 06:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea. But that means we'll have to come up with another list of Ateneo de Manila University people (faculty, etc.).Rmcsamson 15:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I second that, same page, second table for the Honoris Causa. Ateneo is more about the culture of the school...growing up there affects your philosophy, which is the main point of listing alumni. ADMU 86. Maccess 14:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


I beg to disagree, technically if you did not graduate or get a diploma from the school, you should not be considered part of its alumni.....you can make a separate page or category for those who attended but did not graduate but NEVER claim that they are alumni....

The wikipedia article on alumnus will help. --Howard the Duck 11:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

by wikipedia standards, you may say so but that is an expanded definition, technically it degrades the definition since it degrades the value of the diploma earned by completing the necessary school requirements that certifies that you have indeed passed the standards of said school....unless Ateneo does not believe this....then okay I rest my case....

Well in any case, this is Wikipedia, so we use definitions by Wikipedia. Also, the article title says "people" not alumni, so perhaps even professors, the cooks at the canteen, even the security guards can be included here. --Howard the Duck 11:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

i suggest that you reformat this page to categorize the people in the list and give priority to those who did graduate, then those who got honorary degrees, then lastly those who merely attended....

The prioritization is irrelevant. All of the people in the list are considered alumni. Rmcsamson 17:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The Ateneo Alumni Association defines "alumnus" as anyone who has attended any of the units (Grade School, High School, College/Loyola Schools & Professional Schools) for at least two years.

I think this is also expressed in the university by-laws. Rmcsamson 17:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The article says that Meliton B. Salazar Jr. got a DBA from the Ateneo. I'm pretty sure AGSB doesn't offer a DBA.
