[edit] Roy D. Mercer

Roy's radio station is in Tulsa, but how do we know that Roy himself is from Tulsa? And not from Inola or Barnsdall? The article about him doesn't mention where he's from. Tex 18:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I've removed this entry as "Roy D. Mercer" is a fictional character, played by Brent Douglas, and not an actual person.-LeflymanTalk 19:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I was the one who originally added Roy D. Mercer to the Tulsa article. May I direct your attention to [Discussion re Famous Tulsans]? "He" was added because the section originated, not a list of people, but as a commentary on the influence of Tulsa on our culture at-large. While I agree that the character doesn't belong here, in a list of real humans, he clearly has had an influence. It would be nice to find a way to mention him, perhaps back in the main Tulsa article under Tulsa in Entertainment. Of course, adding another bullet item would go against the objective of getting Tulsa's article to feature status. --N35w101 03:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I've added him to the Category:Fictional people from Oklahoma. That should take care of it nicely, eh?--N35w101 21:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:People from Tulsa, Oklahoma

I have gone through the people listed on this page. For every one that has an article, I have added them to the Category:People from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Exceptions (because their affiliation can't be verified by reading their article or external links): Iron Eyes Cody, Julian Rebolledo, Russell Myers, Jeremy Castle, Sammy Sosa. --N35w101 21:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Most of the famous people that originate from Tulsa, moved away, Will Rogers, Garth Brooks live in California.Some have vacation homes here, but no permanent residency, Bill and Hillary Clinton got into the White house and now they are in New York!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.187.154.33 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 16 July 2006.
