There are certainly a lot of less-than-interesting people on this page. Do we really care about ONE Miss Teen USA from one state in one year? Who is Anne de Bretagne (WHICH Maximilian did she marry), and why does she rate other than because she married him? What is KZ-Lower Drancy? -- Zoe
- I was thinking the same thing. The less than famous people needn't be listed at all and the minor actors, music performers and sports figures can be farmed-off to sub-lists. How about January 9th in the performing arts and January 9th in sport? --mav

- I can agree for January/February/.. 1/2/3/4/.. in sport, and I can provide information at least about football-related people (businessmen, footballers, coaches, days of foundation of sport clubs etc) .. webkid 20:52 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Judith Krantz
How many authors called Judith Krantz are there and were they born in 1928 or 1937? Google favours 1928 by about 3 to 2.
Moved from article:
- 1982 - Paolo Ferracin
Probably a vanity entry, posted on Jan 15/16, 2004 in this edit by IPs 82.84.195.249 and 82.84.196.92, a dial-up server of Tiscali in Italy. Google indicates that he might be an Italian student doing research in magnetism. Lupo 07:54, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- 1983 - William Hoffe, South African intellectual and philosopher
He's no one of any importance, and probably won't ever be either.
[edit] Recordings
I do think the list of recordings adds to the value of the day entries, but it should possibly be on a separate January 9 in music page, linked from here. NB: What does the w. and m. in the list mean?—Eloquence 03:33, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
- It's certainly not self-evident but it appears it's words and music. -- Nunh-huh 03:36, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
