Because Townsville, Queensland is such a large article it would be best to avoid lists being created, particularly lists which do not really have a huge amount of significance to the subject matter. [[[User:WikiTownsvillian |Wiki]]Townsvillian 07:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Would it be better to move this article to: Category: People born in Townsville, Queensland or List of People born in Townsville, Queensland? WikiTownsvillian 07:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

the reason I tagged it was because there are only four pepople on this page and onlt two have their own pages on wikipedia. if there were 20 people with pages listed then I wouldn't have tagged it. in its current state there is no reason why it shouldn't be merged. yes the townsville article is long but this wouldn't lengthen to a point of unmanagability. --Tainter 16:39, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree, list is tiny. So... Done. --ShakataGaNai 22:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
A subject's notability to be a wikipedia article is not judged by its current content, it is judged by its potential. You can’t delete a stub just because it is a stub, otherwise articles would never get developed. Cheers, WikiTownsvillian 01:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you. But it had been tagged for merge for 11 months, no commentary since January, and basically no major changes since april. Also, the list article is/was not linked from _anywhere_, including the Townsville, Queensland article. In addition to that there are many other lists of notable residence ( for example Danville, California#Notable_Residents ) that are much longer, and have not had separate articles. If there are valid counter points to what I've written - I'll be more than happy to revert every single one of my changes. --ShakataGaNai 01:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
