Re: "Honorary doctorates were awarded to the pianist Rudolf Firkušný (a native of Brno), the poet Ludvík Kundera....":

I think we mean either "the musicologist Ludvik Kundera" or "the poet Milan Kundera". TheScotch (talk)

Notable alumni section

Hi @User:W.stanovsky, you recently created a notable alumni section for this article. When I look up Category:Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts alumni, it shows over fifty names. Considering the large number of people that could be listed in this article and the fact that they are all notable in their own right, I'm not sure if it makes sense to include such a section. What are your thoughts on this? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:06, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't feel strongly; I only added it as a starting point because I happened to be editing the article of the one alumna I linked. However, it is typical for there to be a section, article, and/or list (not just a category) for notable alumni and other people (e.g. faculty) affiliated with schools; the length and approach varies by the level of development of article and the size of the group of notable people.

Given the shortness of this article, probably a list of 50 alumni is out proportion as a section; I would suggest starting a list of notable people and linking it under a section heading here, and then maybe explicitly naming or describing a few of the most prominent ones here. Here's an example I looked at recently that did similarly: University of Maryland, College Park#Notable alumni. I guess however one approaches it, I would encourage further expansion of the coverage, rather than rolling back the new section because there might be too much content if it were fully fleshed out. But sadly I won't be the one to do it; I'm just passing through, so I leave the decision to others. W.stanovsky (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:W.stanovsky, that sounds reasonable to me. Thank you for the explanation as well as your contributions to Wikipedia. Hopefully you will return whenever you can! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
