Also, if you want to get into famous UVA alums, why not Tina Fey or Katie Couric? Or really, any of these: http://www.virginia.edu/notablealumni/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.7.227 (talk) 06:30, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/Christian_Weston_Chandler Christian Weston Chandler is in the town's wiki, and definitely a notable person.

I agree. There's no denying the amount of community work he's done to help impoverished African-American youths and his unrivaled tackling of contemporary social issues in his hard-hitting comic strip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.83.96 (talk) 13:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Wagner

[edit]

Recently an editor, User:WilliamJE removed Billy Wagner from this list, although consistent with the lead (which specifically includes areas nearby), dozens of reliable sources show that he is from the Charlottesville area. Rather than start an edit war, I would ask for input: is there any reason Wagner should not be included on this list? Jacona (talk) 14:07, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the most obvious reason. The Article says List of people from Charlottesville, Virginia. From the Charlottesville area isn't Charlottesville. Also US Cities guidelines for notable people say born or lived in. Not worked, died, went to school in a place....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:11, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The lede for this article clearly states "This is a list of people from Charlottesville, Virginia, or from areas nearby to Charlottesville, who were either born, lived or presently live in the city." Jacona (talk) 14:13, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really see the purpose of including people from nearby areas. The article isn't titled 'List of people from the general area of Charlottesville, Virginia'. Lepricavark (talk) 00:46, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And note this page is categorized People from Charlottesville. Not People from the Charlottesville area. Around 10 years ago there were categories made[1] with areas around Foo included. That practice stopped. Only people from Foo go in a category 'People from Foo'. There even exist some sportspeople categories by County. If one existed in this case Wagner would go in the county, not Charlottesville. So should he be indirectly as People from Charlottesville....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:17, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If strict city limits are adhered to on this page, a good portion of the list will be removed.Jacona (talk) 01:23, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't make much difference to me. If the people aren't from Charlottesville, they shouldn't be in an article about people from Charlottesville. Lepricavark (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's interesting that you are now editing wherever I edit. There's a term for that. Jacona (talk) 01:41, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited a grand total of two pages that you are also editing. You invite scrutiny when you initiate ANI threads. Lepricavark (talk) 01:52, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure you are competent, and you know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and whether it's right to do it. Carry on. Jacona (talk) 02:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:NAUTHOR. I have 26 published books, three of which have made best seller status at Amazon but I don't have an article. Nor should I....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:53, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, when someone writes the article on him we can add him. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
