Deletion of List of people from Yorkshire

Comment: The list (before it was severely shortened) provided information a category can't (what the people in question were known for, ) and the entries are verifiable (note the difference from verified). A simple effort to copy references from the listed articles would address the issue at hand. Also, deleting possibly fixable material before nominating is misleading

Comment: Standard -type topic, in fact probably more notable than usual due to the existence of books on the subject. I have restored the content for the time being, because (a) where someone was born isn't usually contentious material per  (b) for many  doesn't apply anyway as they're dead (c) some are sourced in their articles, which are linked; and (d) it would be ludicrous to remove people like Arthur Scargill, Harold "Dickie" Bird|Dickie Bird, Chris Moyles, Jarvis Cocker, the Kaiser Chiefs or Michael Parkinson - people famously known as Yorkshirians - from the list. Although technically in breach of , the list is consistent with common usage - when asked which county they're from, the vast majority of people will say "Yorkshire", not the constituent part

Comment: There are plenty of such lists in :Category:Lists_of_English_people_by_location. I do not see that sources are required to be inlined in the article, as in many cases they may be referenced in the person's own article page (although feel free to copy the reference across). To pick a few at random, I see Hilda of Whitby, George Porter, Chris Moyles. Also note that  only applies to ''living'' people. Sure, I don't doubt that many on that list should be removed, but it is incorrect to remove all of them. I think it's misleading to remove all but one, and then propose for deletion. Furthermore, if there are people who shouldn't be on the list, then why not also remove or challenge the assertion in their own articles? Are you going to completely remove everyone in the category and sub-categories of :Category:People from Yorkshire too
