The following were referenced in the Notable Old Bradfieldians section, but did not currently have their own article on Wikipedia. Bearing in mind that the editor inserting them into this article is asserting their notability (read the section title), they really should have created at least a reasonable stub article for the person first.
There is no requirement for links to be blue links. I have restored those here that I added, since all have an entry in the
Dictionary of National Biography and if the DNB considers them notable then so should Wikipedia. A red link is certainly no indication of lack of notability, only of lack of an article. I would suggest that confusing the two is a bad idea, particularly considering the number of borderline non-entity modern day "celebrities" who do have an article and the number of notable historical figures who (as yet) do not. --

Hum. A little history here. I tried adding stubs for several of these, only to have the resulting stubs speedy deleted as non-notable persons. I don't run to a DNB subscription, so I was unable to quote their references in my stubs, something which may well (as you say) have saved those stubs from deletion. The real problem (which on reflection I didn't explain at all well above) is that links like this are (without some out-of-band knowledge, like your access to the DNB) indistinguishable from vanity insertions on totally non-notable persons.
On reflection I have no real problem with these being red-links provided there is some kind of justification somewhere that they are indeed notable and not just vanity references. To me the obvious way to provide that justification would be to write a stub article, and quote the DNB there as a reference. Alternatively I guess simply quoting it as a reference against the redlink is acceptable too. Since you obviously have access to DNB and have done the necessary research to locate the entries, would it be too much to ask that you put that research to the benefit of all by doing one or other. --

The Student’s Low-down on the Houses (2006)
Hum. Pretty sure somebody is going to delete this section as cruft, or original research, or something, sooner or later. But I feel I've already played the censor on this article enough, and isn't healthy for one editor to do this alone. So I won't.
In the meantime, if you are the (anon) author of this section, I'd suggest you take a look at some other articles, and see if you can express the same information in a more encyclopaedic way. --

{{The Student’s Low-down on the Houses (2006)|This needs sorting}}
That section in it's current state should be deleted. However anyone who knows about the school want to try and save it by making it a short piece on those houses?
OK I've edited out the NPOV material as best I could - remember when adding/editing it should be understandable by people who know nothing about the school.
Another private school page that reads like a dismal apology. Amazed there isn't more on their academic results. This page really needs rejigging.--
