Talk:List of Cork people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Possibly "unrepresentative" listing of "Cork People"
While it is laudable that particular groups interested in Cork culture and music are such avid Wikipedians, the current structure of the "List of Cork people" does not allow the casual visitor to immediately discern (for example) that while Michael Collins, Roy Keane and Rory Gallaher are world renowned names, some of the others included in the list – while no less valid entries – should possibly be listed slightly differently.
As a result, and to help in this area, I will presently look to subdivide the "List of Cork people" to a degree.
There is another large sector Corkonians should both pages be amalgamated? Durrus 21 June 2006
- You mean Category:Corkonians (city)? This is a category. Articles are automatically added when user puts this category in an article. Not really possible to merge cat with page. (Although if you think it's worthwhile, may be worth validating that each member of the cat is accounted for in this list.) Or, am I misunderstanding? Is there another Cork people list out there?

Also, while present and past members of specific musical and artistic troupes might be influential to some, most people are likely not aware of any huge contribution by these artists to Cork's musical culture or the world at large. As such it may not be entirely appropriate to have such a disproportionate representation of certain group members in this list. While the reorganisation of the list into subcategories may help with this imbalance, it may be appropriate to edit this article more vigorously in the future.
Finally, it should be noted that if a person who is from Cork, or contributing to Cork history or culture, and is remarkable enough to list here, then they should also be worthy of a stub article at the very least.

Categorisation is complete.
In the course of this edit, no listings have been removed.
Frankly however, per above note, a large majority of these listings should be culled as irrelevant and/or inappropriate to the purpose of this entry. To repeat, if worthy of a listing, any entry should also be worthy of an article explaining contributions.
[edit] To do
May make sense to add VERY short description for each entry. EG:
* Roy Keane - Fooballer, Ireland and Manchester United * Sonia O'Sullivan - Runner and World Champion Athlete
