Talk:List of people from Karnataka

message: Hi. The list of famous people is meant to be a list of people who have made a significant
contribution to Karnataka and/or India in some way. I see that the Yakshagana list seems to dominate the page by and large. Please dont get me wrong, I am a Karnatakan by birth and am proud of its folk culture just as much as the next person, but I really think whoever has been
adding endless names to the Yakshagana list should try to list a few personalities considered the best in each sub category instead of listing each and every Yakshagana artist. Glorious as the tradition is, its mostly limited to coastal Karnataka and can't really be considered mainstream to the whole of Karnataka. Please try to limit the number of these entires. Also the hyperlinking off all these listings without any further info on most of the Yakshagana personalities should be avoided. List the best three to five in each sub-category and then add info pertaining to each of those listings to make it more worth while.

message: One strategy is to create a main article for "Modern Literaters", "Yakshagana Artists" etc.
We could just keep the 48 Sahitya academy awardees and 7 Jnanpith awardees in the page under repair and move the rest to the respective "main articles".  Dineshkannambadi 19:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  solution to ever growing list of important people 

message: I have removed several names of writers and yakshagana players, this page should really highlioght the famous people fro karnataka not just everybody. I hope others agree with me. if you go on mentioning names of evry Tom, Dick and Harry then we might need hundresd of pages  vgowda
:Sounds fair to me.  But we'd need a Yakshagana expert for that or whoever added all those names should clarify.  As for the litterateurs, I copied most of it myself from kn.wikipedia.  There I believe they have articles or atleast stubs for a good number of them.  So just check there once before you remove it.  And of course we could probably post the link(from history) to this page as it exists now on this talk page and announce that people who are interested in editing can take a look at the more comprehensive listing.

message: Wealso need to clean up this section. Kannada literature is a Giant. We need to only list the most famous. Example, Jnanpith awardees and Sahitya Academy winners and maybe a few more really famous ones.Dineshkannambadi 18:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

message: NTR Jr and Shyam Benegal are not associated with Karnataka and weren'
t even born there. So their names need to be excluded from the Cinema section. Naw66 (talk) 10:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Irrelevant names

message: I was editing sections in the page to do some routine housekeeping. On the history page, my name did appear as the user who had edited the section. However, on the last two occasions, my IP address appeared instead of my name. Can someone help replace my IP address with my user name as it should be?

thread_title: Help me

message: I propose that List of people of North Karnataka be merged into List of people from Karnataka. The List of people of North Karnataka is unlikely to contain any new names than the latter list. North Karnataka does not have a fixed geographical border or distince culture/heritage. Hence, it makes sense to add any new names that appear in List of people of North Karnataka but not in this article, and get rid of List of people of North Karnataka altogether.
