Criteria for inclusion

[edit]

People born in Stockport, people raised in Stockport, or people living in Stockport? Whatever the criteria, it would require verification, most probably by dint of the main articles. What is the difference between this article and Category:People from Stockport? - Tiswas(t) 14:53, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, we don't need to include the word "notable", because we're only ever going to list the notable people. I would recommend list of people from Stockport, in line with Category:Lists of people by U.S. cities (British places are not yet standardised, but this is the pattern that would/should be applied). --Stemonitis 06:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like an idea - I'll change the move suggestion templte - Tiswas(t) 08:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For clarification the article was created to try to stop the Stockport article getting another list of notable residents slowly added (the list deleted from there some time back formed the majority of the list that went into this article). I think I based the name on List of notable residents of Reading, Berkshire, perhaps subconsciously the 'notable' was to stress that people shouldn't think 'Hey I'm from Stockport, I'll add myself to the list'. No problem with the move though. I would hope that this and all the other similar lists of people from places could eventually be as different from categories as say List of Cuban birds is from Category:Birds of Cuba.

This article has been renamed from List of notable residents of Stockport to List of people from Stockport as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 12:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reformating: Cite your sources

[edit]

OK, the time has come to do a bit of a spring clean to the list and remove all violations of WP:V and WP:BLP. All unsourced additions have been moved here (below) until a source can be fonud which verifies their connection(s) with Stockport:

OK, brutal I know, but this will make for a better project and list in the long run. Thanks for your support. --Jza84 |  Talk  01:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After almost three years, about time someone (several people, I would think, given the length of the list) did some work on finding sources and getting these back into the list proper. There are some which are unquestionable (though sources still need finding), like Mike Yarwood and Edmund Shaa. Might be an idea to remove them from this talk page list once they are sourced and included in the main page. Skinsmoke (talk) 05:11, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shaun Ryder

[edit]

What is the connection Shaun Ryder has with Stockport? As far as I'm aware, he's from Salford. Skinsmoke (talk) 05:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

None as far as I can tell. I've removed him and several others with this edit owing to lack of sources. --Jza84 |  Talk  13:37, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
