merger

This article and St. John's Jesuit High School seem to discuss the same institution. Can they be merged? --Bejnar (talk) 20:24, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
St. John's Jesuit Academy also exists and should be merged. Much of the material in St. John's Jesuit Academy and St. John's Jesuit High School is the same. It seems to be needless duplication when it can all be covered in a single unified article. --Bejnar (talk) 20:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. 3 articles for the same school? 1 will do. EagleFan (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. How do we do it?Don'tKnowItAtAll (talk) 21:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on Notable Alumni

Given the back-and-forth on some of the alumni and seeing the current list, I think that the list should only include those with some kind of notability; i.e., national notability, recognition, etc. I don't think that just being an athlete at the college level should count. And while being a CEO may be a big thing, SJJ has a lot of alumni who might count and being a CEO may be more of a temporal thing. Let's keep it pertinent to notability. Perhaps we ought to ask for outside sources. Therefore, I think the list should be culled down to the following (and I've bolded the reason for their notability):

Rev. Karl Joseph Alter - Archbishop of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, technically an alumnist of St. John's College, the original school at St. John's Jesuit.
John Amaechi - 1988 - NBA player, of the Cleveland Cavaliers and also the first openly homosexual player in the NBA. ^[1]
Nick Anderson - editorial cartoonist - winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning
Rob Chudzinski - 1986 - NFL/NCAA football former player & coach - the current offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns
Michael B. Coleman - 1972 - current mayor of Columbus, Ohio
Scott Parsons - 2002 and 2003 US National Champion in K-1 Whitewater Slalom Kayak; 2003 Pan American Games silver medalist; 2004 US Olympic Trials Champion. ^[2]
Michael D. Sallah - Miami Herald investigative reporter and editor who received the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.
Erick Iskersky - Champion tennis player who shows up in Wikipedia -- but what level??
Owen Wilson - Legendary coach and player of "How's It Goin Owen" Intramural teams
David Colturi - 2007 - Purdue diver who placed fifth in olympic qualifying for the 2008 Beijeng Olympics

I mostly agree except for your omission of Gary Louris and Doug Ducey. Although I am not familiar with Louris and the Jayhawks it seems to be a notable topic. Additionally, Ducey (who is now the former CEO of Cold Stone) was heavily involved in the expansion of the company which gained international attention. It think that he belongs on the list.
