Talk:List of people from Leicester and Leicestershire

message: Since a lot of the people included are from various parts of Leicestershire rather than from Leicester, wouldn't this article be better titled "Notable people from Leicestershire"?--Michig 15:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is still an issue. Many of the people listed are not from Leicester. --Michig (talk) 08:56, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title 

message: Since this term is rarely used and (as far as I can tell), difficult to source as regards the meaning ascribed in the article, is there really any benefit to including it in the lede? It only appears to attract vandalism. Google Books suggest a different meaning to someone who comes from Leicester, with some sources referring to a 'Leicesterian faction' and 'Leicesterian prejudices'.--Michig (talk) 20:57, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Firstly seasonal greetings/happy new year Richard and Michig.  I noted that you have quote rightly deleted a number of dubious entries but I didn't expect Howard Jones to be one of them. The cited guardian quote contains
He began academic life as a lecturer in social studies and then senior lecturer in sociology at Leicester 1953-65, before moving to a Readership at Keele 1965-69 .... 
This was one of my first edits in 2008 & I thought his first academic post would qualify him as "otherwise associated with the city."  If you have seen this and disagree then I'll accept defeat!

replies: text: Hi JRPG the article title is 'List of people from Leicester' not ' List of people associated with Leicester.' As my edit summary stated the supporting reference clearly stas that he is from West Bromwich, in Staffordshire. He did have a period of time when he worked in Leicester, as he obviously had in several other locations around the world, working in Criminology. Taking that criteria into consideration how many articles could he be added to, as being from ? As an example former Prime Minister Harold Wilson spent most of his working life in London, though he was from Huddersfield. If we added everyone - Politicians, businessmen, Lecturers, proffesionals from all walks of life, who have worked in a location as from it then there would chaos. I hope that explains it more clearly. :) Richard Harvey (talk) 05:53, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
