I removed Livina Nixon as it is probably best to only include people that are recognised internationally. --203.217.38.157 11:12, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- i dont think international notability should be the only test. famousness within melbounre should be sufficient.
- also, these people should be categorised at some stage. Xtra 11:14, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is Ned Kelly a Melburnian?
He was born in Beveridge, not a part of Melbourne, and then moved north to Glenrowan. His main connection to Melbourne is that he was hanged in Melbourne Gaol and his suit of armour is now displayed here. But in his lifetime he had little or no connection with Melbourne. He is certainly a Victorian, but Melburnian ????? Cheers JackofOz 21:38, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The "other" categorie
when putting people in that category please say what they are famouse for as "other" is not verry descriptive. Xtra 03:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Criteria for inclusion
I've always interpreted "come from Melbourne" fairly narrowly, ie. being born or at least brought up in Melbourne. Which is why I've removed Geoffrey Rush more than once - he's a Queenslander who has only latterly become a Melburnian. But some other editor always put him back in the list. Others seem to consider him a Melburnian because he now calls the place home and he's active in Camberwell civic affairs. I don't have a problem with that, but I'd be interested in having some clear criteria for inclusion in this category. What do others think? JackofOz 13:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sick of trying to make the contents conform to the criteria, so I've amended the criteria to include "significant associations" with Melbourne. Now we can let Geoffrey Rush remain in the list. JackofOz 06:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] John So didn't make the list?
Shouldn't John So be among the list of notable Melburnians given that he's the "longest serving Lord Mayor" of the city?
