Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people from Yorkshire
Standard -type topic, in fact probably more notable than usual due to the existence of books on the subject.

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
