Talk:List of people from Maharashtra

message: List of people from Maharashtra - You have added many people who IMO, dont belong there. I can understand A.R.Rehman. But Ilayaraja??? MS Subbulakshmi - my God ??? While it may be true that these people may have performed in Maharashtra or Mumbai, I dont feel it is correct to label them as from Maharashtra.  Anyway, IMO, the article isnt very useful. It links to a large repository of unwritten articles. Wikipedia does not recommend such articles. Waiting for your response chance 12:57, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)
: You are free to edit it or recommend it for deletion. IMO, it should not be deleted. - Hemanshu 19:09, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

replies: text: As the names appear to have been mass-copied from another page, the names are out of context here, which relate to Maharashtrians. I'll start by deleting the names that don't have a wiki article on them. For the remaining, I'll check the birthplace, regional identity, etc. if available on their respective articles.

message: MERGE 2 PAGES HAVING SAME CONTENT - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marathi_people 
AND http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_from_Maharashtra. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.118.228.62 (talk • contribs) 
* i think both list should not be merged as List_of_people_from_Maharashtra lists notable people who worked in Maharashtra but are not Marathi by ethnicity (e.g. Abhishek Bachchan) while List_of_Marathi_people lists notable people with Marathi ethnicity who might or might not have worked in Maharashtra (e.g. Rani Lakshmibai). This criteria is mentioned in introductory paragraph of lists  Gobade.abhay1 (talk) 06:15, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The merger of this article has been opposed by me and an anon editor. In my case I'm a Konkani Maharashtrian, so technically, if I am notable, I can be added to only one of the articles and not the other. If you want to take it to India- Notice Board, feel free to do so yourself. AshLin (talk) 11:56, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the topic i have started there is not about merger but deletion of these pages. Why do we want to have these articles when "Category" can serve this purpose? I don't mind you (or anyone) posting views here. I just thought that India-Notice Board would be a better place for all to discuss (even knowing the fact that people don't usually discuss as much as they fight there) -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I wondered exactly the same. Categorisation would, in my opinion, be eminently better than article lists.  Velella  Velella Talk   21:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
