Talk:List of people from Indianapolis

Untitled

Before adding someone to this page, please verify that the person in question is known, if not outside Indianapolis, at least throughout the city as a whole. At the very least, passing Wikipedia's Google test would suffice. But even this might not be sufficient. A search for ("Firstname Lastname" Indianapolis) on Google or Google News should bring up something other than mention on Wikipedia pages or on pages derived from Wikipedia text.

I see Reggie Miller on the list. It is true he remains a resident of Indianapolis and considers himself a Hoosier, but he grew up in California and only came to Indiana when drafted by the Pacers. Is that being "from Indianapolis"? Jjb 2006/02/05

Actor Steve Burton is on this list and I wanted to learn more about him so I went to his page, via the link provided, and no where on that page did it say he was born/lived/or lives in Indianapolis. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and lives in Beverly Hills, CA. Should he be removed? I didn't want to remove him automatically in case there is a reason for him being on the list.

There is a difference between Indianapolis and Indiana. There are several people on the list (Ted Leo, Larry Bird, John Wooden to name a few) who were born in Indiana, but have either no connection or only a tenuous connection to Indianapolis itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.230.251.197 (talk) 15:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

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.
