Thanks, Rentastrawberry. I think this list should be expanded to include people associated with Brigham Young University who are not alumni. JackWilliams 01:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
What is Harry Reid's connection with BYU other than his being LDS? Is that the only requirement for being on this list? What exactly is meant by "associated with BYU?"
Shouldn't Checketts be listed somewhere under Sports, or maybe business? There seems to be little justification for his inclusion under Entertainment. Maybe I should break down and write the article before making a stink. Shrff 20:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I thought he went to the U of U... that means he should be taken off of this list... and Dale Murphy too, who didn't go to BYU
Maybe this article should be a category. What do you think? Paynecd (talk) 21:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Richard McCoy Jr. is one of the primary suspects of being the famed "D.B. Cooper", (an alias for the man) who was responsible for the only unsolved air piracy case in the US. He studied law enforcement at BYU, I dont think he is a graduate though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.121.247.116 (talk) 23:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This list is being split into two lists: List of Brigham Young University alumni and List of Brigham Young University faculty per WikiProject University FAs and FLs (see List of Dartmouth College alumni for example). Thus, this article will be moved accordingly. It took a lot of time to get this article up to speed...let's get this thing up to FL...go Cougars! --Eustress (talk) 21:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I think this article is getting close to meeting the Featured list criteria. I'm going to request a peer review and hope that we can add to and modify the current articles contents in the meantime. Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 23:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see now that individuals are listed alphabetically within their respective sections, and I have messed some of that up by adding new people (and doing some ignorant grouping apparently!). That being said, should we stick to alphabetizing even if there are, say, three BYU presidents listed? The alternative would be to group the BYU presidents in order. Personally I think alphabetizing is the better way to go, but I don't have time to fix my mess tonight... Gotta go. --TrustTruth (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
The source listed for Kurt Bestor says nothing about him attending BYU. --Eustress (talk) 17:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Some alumni not yet included can be pulled from List of J. Reuben Clark Law School people; eventually, that list should be a redirect to here. --Eustress (talk) 22:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think the source shows that Reid attended BYU. --Eustress (talk) 02:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
In section Other U.S. political and legal figures, I included both class year and degree earned from BYU in the column. I think this looks better and is more informative than including the graduate school name after the year. What say ye? --Eustress (talk) 13:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I would lean towards not including this individual or category. --TrustTruth (talk) 18:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
A peer review for this article was conducted, the results for which are linked at the top of this page. Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 03:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
As noted in the "To do" list above, we need help creating articles for the red-link alumni. I have so far created articles for Michael P. Clayton and Jonathan C. Coon. Any help appreciated—thanks! --Eustress (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
The article states that BYU alums have represented in 48 Super Bowls. How is this possible as only 42 Super Bowls have ever been played? --TrustTruth (talk) 06:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Almost all of the red-links are gone (not required to have all gone) and the article is looking good. Anything to be done before FLC? --Eustress (talk) 19:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I think we should comment out Julie Stoffer and renominate. I believe it will pass. Wrad (talk) 20:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Eustress, just a quick note to let you know I archive the FLC. There was no community consensus to promote and quite a few outstanding comments. Feel free to get in touch with reviewers, update the list and bring it back to FLC in due course. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Does the degree column refer only to degrees that the person received from BYU, or all degrees that they received? I am assuming that it is only for degrees from BYU, but I wanted to check before adding some people. Scd123 (talk) 16:25, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Philo Taylor Farnsworth is not an alumnus of BYU and did not receive a B.S. from the institution. I do not know what your source for such a claim would be. He may have received an honorary Doctorate degree from BYU in 1968, just a few years before his death, but back when he was first living in Provo in 1923-24, and doing his early work on television, he attended Brigham Young High School. He did enroll at BYU later, but the professors at BYU would not allow him to attend the university advanced courses he wanted to, and they did not recognise his previous course work. (He had already attended high school in Idaho.) In fact, he had such a low regard for his professors, and they paid so little attention to him, that he soon became impatient with his whole setup at BYU, and he joined the Navy on a whim. This decision was short-lived, because he worried over patent rights to his inventions. He later returned to BYU again, but left after attending the university for only a single year, without graduating. Of course, after his reputation grew, BYU was more than happy to turn around and claim him.
I say this without any malice toward BYU. I am a BYU alumnus myself. But the representation of Philo Farsworth as a BYU alumnus is simply not true and I believe the site should be edited to reflect that. I know this as not only a Farnsworth biographer, but also a member of his family (his grand-nephew). The information I have on his life is from his wife's biography and summarized here: (http://www.byhigh.org/History/Farnsworth/PhiloT1924.html) Playerpage (talk) 20:49, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
This article discusses the seven BYU grads who were part of the 2008 USA men's olympic team. http://magazine.byu.edu/?act=view&a=2280 Wrad (talk) 17:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Johnny Miller did not win the Masters tournament in 1980, or the PGA championship in 77. Should be fixed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scooter13331 (talk • contribs) 11:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
This article is getting large, and saving edits takes a long time. For some universities, such as the University of Michigan, the alumni list has been split into sub-lists along the lines of the sections we have here. We probably would not need all the sections to have seperate lists, maybe initially have the header information here, and then have two or three other articles where we have the actual lists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Is there any way to make all the alumni without a Wikipedia Article not be red? I was able to remove the link, but then it doesn't sort by last name (it sorts by first name). Jhunt47 (talk) 06:56, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
