Comment: The prize awardee tables are very large and unwieldy, and IMO totally unnecessary: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a comprehensive catalogue of indiscriminate data. If the same information is available externally somewhere, please point to that resource via 'External links' section. (And if the information is not available, then might this constitute original research?) DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:54, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Of the nearly 200 (!!) citations, the vast majority are to sources closely associated with Yale. Some are to non-reliable sources, eg. Facebook and LinkedIn. The remainder are NYT articles, most of which seem to cover Yale more generally, not the Class Day specifically, although as they are behind a pay wall I'm only able to go by the article titles. None of these sources establish notability per WP:GNG for the Class Day. Happy to be proven wrong, though, if the author can point out at least three reliable and fully independent (of Yale) secondary sources which provide significant coverage of the Yale Class Day directly and specifically.
