[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.

Please link to the relevent RfC when it has been created so I can comment, thanks. -- Infrogmation 21:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The discussion specifically regarding this topic is at Wikipedia:Current surveys. It is right now the first one under the "Articles" heading. Badbilltucker 21:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Header

The talk header I added, might help those wiling to take some time improving this fine article. -The Bold Guy- 12:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

I am requesting that the name of this article be restored to List of people from New Orleans. This is the naming convention used by all lists of people from a specific city or state. VerruckteDan 18:32, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subjects missing articles

An editor recently removed all the links to subjects currently without articles. I objected saying I knew some of them were subjects we need articles on, so they reverted. However I do think we might need to look through them. I'm pretty ignorant about the rap scene, can someone confirm that these are rappers of some note? I did remove the listing "William F. Faulkner, writer and screenwriter" -- might that have been a reference to William Faulkner? Put it back if he's not. I can vouch the following legitimate subjects for articles:

Cuisine: Alcitore, Le Ruth. Entertainment: Bagneris. Music: Baquet brothers, Dede, Lacombe. In Math & Science, I've heard of Lascaux but only as a passing mention. -- Infrogmation 14:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
