Talk:List of people from Reading, Berkshire

message: I have removed MPs who's only connection to Reading is representing it as they're already listed here: Reading (UK Parliament constituency).Farrtj (talk) 16:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: MPs

message: Can we stop adding people who's only connection to the town is having been born in the hospital. People like Charlie Brooker, who's parents and grandparents came from Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, who was educated there and lived there has no real connection to Reading other than it had the closest maternity ward.Farrtj (talk) 11:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Charlie Brooker and others who were born in Reading Hospital

message: The title needs to be changed to reflect the makeup of the list. It should be called "List of people with a connection to Reading" as many of those listed have a tenuous connection with the town at best.Farrtj (talk) 11:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

message: As others have said, this is only for people connected to the town. Simply because Kate Middleton happened to be born in Reading hospital does not make her a noteworthy Readinger. She has never lived or been educated in Reading, so I have removed her from the list. Farrtj (talk) 16:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've removed the refimprove tag from this article. The article is a list of notable people who by their very nature will have articles of their own; if they don't, they don't belong in the list. I see no merit in cluttering the list with citations that should, if the authors of those articles are doing their job properly, will probably just duplicate a citatation in that article.
There is a case where the target article, for whatever reason, does not mention the Reading connection and it is not possible to improve it to do so. In this case then the list will need its own citation, but an article level tag does not help identify these. I would suggest adding fact tags to any that match this; I don't think there are any at present.
There is also a case where the target article mentions the Reading connection, but does not cite a reference for it. In this case the fact tag, or refimprove tag, surely belongs in the target article itself. -- Starbois (talk) 14:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
