Talk:List of people from Albuquerque, New Mexico

message: A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well.  I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not.  Any and all comments are more than welcome.

message: What is the point of this list? I did some clicking on a few of the names and quite a few of them aren't born in Albuquerque (like all the names before Pete Domenici on the list). Does Wikipedia really require a list of people who have lived in a particular city? A list of people born there, yes... but does Freddie Prinze, Jr. really call Albuquerque his hometown?

replies: text: There appear to be some dubious entries, like Bill Gates. In general, these lists are usually comprised of people who have lived in a place for a significant period of time. There aren't any rules. -Will Beback · † · 18:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: People from Albuquerque or who have lived there?

message: I changed the list from chronological/topic order to just topic order because having everyone cross-listed in two places makes the list difficult to maintain. I looked at some of the lists for other cities and they mostly seemed to be arranged by general field and then alphabetically, so that's what I did here. I don't think having a chronological listing really adds much. I'll work on getting the list sourced and cleaned up as I have the time. Camerafiend (talk) 16:15, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  List order 

message: I've removed some people from this list:
* Jim Morrison. He spent part of his childhood (roughly age 4–5 and 12–14) in Albuquerque, along with at least half a dozen other places. (See .) It's hard to make the case that he meets any reasonable definition of "from Albuquerque."
* Bryan Cranston. Bought a house in Albuquerque , but no evidence he intends to stay once his current TV show is completed.
* Steve-O. Many online biographies   make no mention of Albuquerque. On his own site, he only mentions living there briefly in the late 1990s, while providing a laundry list of other places he lived growing up. IMDB and a handful of newspaper articles  (which may well have been sourced from the IMDB bio) describe Albuquerque as his hometown, but on the balance of evidence I don't think this is reliable.
That's all for now; I may find more as I keep working on this. Camerafiend (talk) 03:48, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

message: *Gil Dozier. "Spent time in a halfway house in Albuquerque in 1986 after his release from federal prison" is not a significant association with the city.
*Susan Pamerleau. According to her website she lived in Albuquerque for a few years as a child, along with several other places. I don't think this is significant either.
*Richard V. Thomas. He retired to Rio Rancho, not Albuquerque, and did die in Albuquerque but that's it. Camerafiend (talk) 14:47, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
