A list of old boys who have been deleted for notability concerns. See main page Talk:List of Old Falconians.

this list is partially incorrect, contains people who have individual text varied but still appear on List of Old Falconians (I've kept them on list as they're still notable) such as Ted Wolfers, David Fraser, Stewart Turner. but thanks for doing the list.
