From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Indiana, a WikiProject related to the U.S. state of Indiana.
List This article has been rated as List-Class on the quality scale.
Low This article has been rated as low-importance on the importance scale.

Before adding someone to this page, please verify that the person in question is known, if not outside Indianapolis, at least throughout the city as a whole. At the very least, passing Wikipedia's Google test would suffice. But even this might not be sufficient. A search for ("Firstname Lastname" Indianapolis) on Google or Google News should bring up something other than mention on Wikipedia pages or on pages derived from Wikipedia text.

I see Reggie Miller on the list. It is true he remains a resident of Indianapolis and considers himself a Hoosier, but he grew up in California and only came to Indiana when drafted by the Pacers. Is that being "from Indianapolis"? Jjb 2006/02/05

[edit] Request for Comment

A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well. I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not. Any and all comments are more than welcome.
