Talk:List of people from Utah

message: What is the criteria for people on this list?  People like Don Bluth have taken permenant residence in Utah for a time but were born and now live elsewhere, others like Mitt Romney went to school in Utah but otherwise never lived there.
:I would be interested in any discussion around this topic.  There is a similar discussion on Talk:List of people from Montana. Deejayk 19:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge?

message: This list seems particularly vulnerable to additions that are not notable. Today I removed a band that was no more notable than a hundred other music groups in Utah that aren't on this list. I notice there are a couple of former low level wrestlers on here currently.
How about a general consensus that if the person or group doesn't have an existing, established Wikipedia article, then they are removed? In other words, no red links. Anyone have an opinion on this? GreenGlass(talk) 23:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Agree - otherwise these lists are too vulnerable to spam.  Plazak (talk) 00:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay then, I'm removing all red links. GreenGlass(talk) 02:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

text: It might not be that simple.  There are some entries on this list that only avoid the red link by linking to a disambiguation page.  These should probably be removed as well.  Should I go ahead?--Thelema12 (talk) 21:06, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

message: When you remove a person from the list, a brief statement of the reason for the removal would be helpful.  For example, in the edit summary, you could say 'not from Utah,' or something, so that people would know why you removed somebody..--Thelema12 (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: To be honest, people like this will most probably continue to do so because they think this makes them funny or cool. It's not though, this list is for REAL people. Not FICTIONAL people, but they can't wrap their heads around that apparently.. Kgfhijbfdf??gfd (talk) 15:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
