Famous Or Not? Who Picks?
71.85.241.27 has been making a lot of deletions that were added by a variety of other people.  This user says he or she was born in St. Louis, but that isn't a decent qualification to make these determinations.  Put a person up for discussion if you don't think they are famous.  Do a little research and determine just how widespread knowledge of them is.  Famous doesn't mean they'll be recognized on the street anywhere in the world, but that a society or culture has recognized them for some reason.  71.85.241.27 allowed scientists to remain on the list while deleting people who are in the pop culture scene.
