replies: text: All you've provided are primary sources. You have interpreted the fact that these individuals own property in the New Albany ZIP code to mean that they are resident at those properties. Since the sources don't say that they reside there, you may not say that they are residents. Nyttend (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For Redd, have also proved his wife lives there, and proved that she's his wife. A search on the db shows no other house owned by him in central Ohio in Franklin County. Multiple multiple multiple sources show he lives in the Columbus area in the offseason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.183.7 (talk) 17:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Big events in small towns are part of their history. Look up "Bonnie & Clyde" here on wikipedia. The fact that they were killed in Bienville Parish is *definitely* an item on their page, despite the fact that Bonnie & Clyde weren't from there, had no connections there. The important thing is that a notable, national event occurred in Bienville Parish. Much like notable residents, notable events that occur in a town do NOT have to be related to the town itself, they just must be (a) notable, and (b) have occurred there. Bonnie & Clyde was my quick example, do you want a half-dozen more? I'm sure I could find them, but I don't really think that's necessary. 71.74.87.123 (talk) 03:56, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide a source that backs up "New Albany made national headlines...". Incidental mentions are not sufficient. --NeilN talk to me 04:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The way it is now seems OK (granted, it's several months later!). Bear in mind for future instances that big events seem even bigger to a small town. You have to look at this from a global perspective, though, not a local perspective. This is a Wikipedia article about New Albany, not New Albany's Wikipedia article. Does the event help the reader understand the city better? Did the event play a role in the development of New Albany? Not really. New Albany simply provided the backdrop as the home of Rifqa Bary. The city or its residents, however, did not play a major role in that event nor was the city mentioned much beyond the AP heading. Even there it was often first identified as "suburban Columbus". --JonRidinger (talk) 21:21, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rifqa Bary event 

message: Re  - unless the event involves the town itself, this doesn't belong in the history section. For example, New York City has thousands of notable inhabitants but none of the events specifically involving them are mentioned in the history section. --NeilN talk to me 04:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: All these events have lasting notoriety. The event you wish to add happened last year. Again, please provide a source that has more than an incidental mention of New Albany. --NeilN talk to me 05:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: More than incidental mention is NOT needed, only that it was a significant national event, and that it occurred in New Albany. Look at Duluth, Georgia under 2005 incidents: the runaway bride is mentioned there, because it was (a) a signifcant national event, and (b) it occurred in Duluth. Look at Perry, Oklahoma: mention that Timothy McVeigh was simply *arrested* there! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.247.6 (talk) 15:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

text: More examples: Pacific Grove, California: death of John Denver. Kenedy County, Texas: Dick Cheney's hunting accident. Posting significant events that occurred in small locales is standard operating procedure, regardless of how important the locale was to the story.155.188.247.6 (talk) 16:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

text: And more: Calhoun, Tennessee: 99-car pileup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.247.7 (talk) 18:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Small bands are basically notable residents. Style sheet is unclear, the band is clearly notable, so leave it on there. If you have an issue with it, BRING IT HERE, do not delete! Please follow normal wikipedia procedure by bringing issues to the discussion page. 71.74.87.123 (talk) 23:49, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you aware of the way we do things nationwide? A band is an organisation, not a person; this section is for individuals. You might try reading WP:LISTPEOPLE; in all US communities, we remove individuals who do not have their own articles and who are not plainly notable for reasons such as being upper-level politicians or professional athletes. Band members aren't necessarily notable because of being band members, so they mustn't be included here. Nyttend (talk) 04:12, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nyttend is correct; Notable people lists like these are generally for individuals (or a group) who have a Wikipedia article already in existence. We're not saying they will never be notable, but at this point there does not appear to be any notability associated with the individuals or the band. Become familiar with the notability policy. If an article is created about the band or the individual members that can demonstrate notability, then no one would have any problem placing them in the Notable people list. Most local bands have no notability outside their local area and even within their local area, notability is very limited. --JonRidinger (talk) 13:53, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
