Paul Cartledge's association with Oxford was as a student (undergraduate and DPhil); his entire career as a "professional" academic has been at other universities, principally Cambridge for over 30 years. Is student level association with Oxford sufficient to come within the scope of this project? It would seem surprising if every Oxford graduate covered on Wikipedia merited inclusion within this project. --The Sage of Stamford (talk) 20:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's a question more for discussion between members of the project at the project's talk page rather than for a non-member to raise on the talk page of one article. The answer to your question, though, is "Yes, it is." Each WikiProject decide how it wants to organise itself. See also the benefits of project tagging at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide#Article_tagging, and also (under the heading "Article editors do not own WikiProjects") the following: A WikiProject's members have the exclusive right to define the scope of their project, which includes defining an article as being outside the scope of the project. Similarly, if a WikiProject says that an article is within their scope, then you may not force them to remove the banner. Thanks, BencherliteTalk23:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
