Talk:List of people from Atlanta

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: The "Music" portion of the "Entertainers and musicians" section currently lists people by genre (Country, R&B, Jazz, etc.) and also by job (Conductors, Singers and musicians, Producers). I submit that this a a bad way to do it; we should pick one way to group folks and stick with it. Having both ways leads to duplication, of which we already have plenty. We have a similar overlap between "Film and acting" and "Radio and television".
So which criterion would you prefer to see used: genre or (main) job? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 14:29, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I rewrote the introductory lead paragraph, and I plan on going through the list and re-organizing it and adding the citation tag to any un-referenced people. When done, I'll put them all below here, to be re-added at such a date when a proper reference can be found. Ncboy2010 (talk) 16:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I looked at the lede for most other "List of People from [Major American City]" and none have the fluff that was in the intro for Atlanta.  The current lede I inserted is from List of people from Boston, but go to any major city and you will see a variation of this. Not sure why the bot decided to label this article as needing a lede expansion, but the previous lede, picking out two people and naming them "most notable," is unencyclopedic and violates WP:POV.--Mmann1988 (talk) 14:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, although It's not within my personal opinion, I concede that (after having consulted some fellow wikipedians) that it appears the general consensus is to retain the current lead and I don't wish to open a discussion. Although I did decide to remove the last bit that refers to individuals who have lived /near/ the city as this leads to unnecessary cruft and leaves the list with numerous individuals who might have never set foot within Atlanta. In any case, I appreciate the work you're doing in helping out. Remember, we've still got a lot of people that need to be re-added (see above comment) and many lack reputable sources showing that they've actually lived within the city.
