<!-- NOTE: THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE LIST! It needs to stay reasonably short. INSTEAD, add new entries to either of the following articles, if applicable:
* [[List of University of Mississippi alumni]] for individuals who studied at that institution, regardless of what other connections to Oxford or the state of Mississippi they have (if any).
* [[List of people from Oxford, Mississippi]] for people with significant connections to Oxford other than attendance at Ole Miss as a student. Intended to include those who were born, raised, or lived for extended periods as an adult in Oxford.
* [[List of people from Mississippi]] for people with significant connections to the state.
Practical examples:
* An individual born and raised anywhere in Mississippi other than Oxford who attended Ole Miss (such as Archie Manning) belongs in "people from Mississippi" and "University of Mississippi alumni".
* An individual born and raised outside the state, but an Ole Miss graduate who settled in Oxford (such as Eli Manning), belongs in "University of Mississippi alumni" and "people from Oxford".-->
