Talk:List of people from Santa Cruz, California

Robert A. Heinlein

As stated in the change comment, Heinlein lived in Bonny Doon, CA, not in Santa Cruz, CA, which is why I removed him from the article. Heinlein was re-added with this comment: "Heinlein lived in Bonny Doon, an unincorporated district contiguous to Santa Cruz with no businesses of its own. To live there is to shop, vote and be a part of the SC community." This is not correct. Residents who register to vote in Bonny Doon are not permitted to vote in Santa Cruz city elections. Santa Cruz, CA and Bonny Doon, CA, though proximate, also happen to be in entirely different congressional districts. Saying that a resident of Bonny Doon is a resident of Santa Cruz is incorrect and therefore I am removing Heinlein from the article once again. Please feel free to add Heinlein to the notable residents of Bonny Doon and of Santa Cruz County, but do not intentionally add incorrect information into this article. —  X  S  G  00:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll concede you the above point about voter registration. But discussions about unincorporated areas aside, it should be noted that Heinlein lived in Santa Cruz during the period in which he designed and built his Bonny Doon house.

According to the "Santa Cruz" section in the "Building" chapter of his book Grumbles From The Grave (Chapter VII), he and his wife Ginny rented a house in Santa Cruz in February of 1966, shortly after moving from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Construction at the Bonny Doon site began on September 4 of that year. Heinlein moved his writing studio into the still-uncompleted Bonny Doon house in July of 1967, with a complete transfer of residence taking place over subsequent months.

So, Heinlein was a Santa Cruz resident for at least a year and five months. I hope you won't object to my restoration of his entry. -- P L E A T H E R _talk 09:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll never take objection to the addition of information that meets Wikipedia's policies. Obviously, I'm a stickler for biographic citations. Ideally, the information above should be added in an appropriate way to Robert A. Heinlein. If the information is claimed in the main article (even without citation), there's no need to add a ref here. (If the claim is made in the subject's main article, a {{fact}} tag should be added there. I believe I've done this for every currently warranted entry on this article.) —  X  S  G  17:47, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I moved the redlinks on this page over to talk page today - feel free to move them back to the article once there is an article on wikipedia created and a citation provided. Jooojay (talk) 23:11, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Lex van den Berghe

Lex van den Berghe no longer appears to have his own article. As a contestant on a game show, even on a highly selective game show, without further notability I believe we should strike him from this article. Any thoughts? —  X  S  G  09:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
