Are such lists encyclopedic?[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Wouldn't the purpose of such lists be served better by using categories in each person's article linked? --StaniStani  22:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List title is too limiting?[edit]

Question: Isn't the title "People from Nashville, Tennessee" a little limiting? I had a solution to several of these lists I maintain that I believe is a better solution. That would be to name the list: "Notable Past and Present Residents of Nashville, Tennessee". It's semantically limiting to say that someone is "from" an area. By that standard, someone would actually have to be a native of the area to be included. I believe that is way too limiting.
