Alumni lines removed pending sources (3 Oct 2026)
As part of a family-friendly and living-people review, 77 one-line entries were removed from the Contemporary Old Salopians list (in nine small edits, one per decade group). Each line had no citation and is about someone who is, or is presumed to be, living. Removing them is not a judgement on the people listed. Anything that can be sourced can be restored: please re-add a line together with a reliable source showing the person attended the school. Deceased alumni were kept, and the section is now tagged as needing citations.
