Line 38:

'''Keep'''. I do a lot of alumni related categorization. The overwhelming majority of American schools are using the Alumni of xyz titles. There is no reason why it should change, especially for just one university. There is no compelling reason to change. Seems like the reason boils down to someone’s preference for one away over the other. If it is changes, to be consistent, change the hundreds of other alumni categories for all other schools from high school up.

*'''Comment''': Well ok, then I guess we'll have to insert the comma. [[User:HandsomeFella|HandsomeFella]] ([[User talk:HandsomeFella|talk]]) 21:50, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. We currently have largely standardized on "Alumni of ..." for the UK and some former colonies, and "... alumni" for the US and most other places, just as we have "Academics of ..." and "... faculty" with roughly the same geographic distribution. If we're going to deal with this dichotomy, doing it piecemeal on an institution-by-institution basis is not the way. And in general it's probably much less painful to cite [[WP:UKVAR]] and leave well enough alone. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 00:46, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
