[edit] Notable Elginites

No reason to be its own article, should be part of Elgin, Illinois as most lists of notables are part of their towns. gren グレン 02:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, Putting it on the main page makes the primary article too lengthy. see chicago's entry, which has not only one but two different articles: "Famous Chicagoans" and "Notable citizens of Chicago" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.217.135.66 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 6 November 2005
  • I took the liberty of adding the Keep, part since the comment was probably meant to be a keep. I disagree because the town is not a big city like Chicago and therefore there is less reason for a separate page. gren グレン
