What does "a minimum is good mean"? The DVC clubs are NOT spam links as they are officially recognized DVC Subsidiary. Please refrain from removing any DVC affiliated links from the DVC Wikipage.

Clubs

DVC Competitive Programing club.
Diablo Valley College Republican Club.
please add more (wikipedia is about information not "a minimum")

One of the links is spam, and the other merely vanity: neither represents DVC as a whole or uniquely, nor provides any kind of detailed information that enhances reader knowledge of the place. See Santa Monica College, De Anza College, College of the Redwoods, and Diné College for examples of such. The links go. --Calton | Talk 13:35, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

Is there any evidence of any of these people's attendance to DVC. Most have nothing on their wiki pages about it, some of have never even lived near the area of the college and one is a fictional character from King of the Hill
