I believe the only issue identified (this edit) was the use of a non-free logo, which has been removed from the article, and deleted, so I am going to close the copyright issue investigation.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 16:12, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notable members

[edit]

This list would very quickly grow long and unwieldy if we don't set some minimum standard. I suggest that it be restricted to members who already have Wikipedia articles written about them, and not extend it to include people associated with organizations or companies that have Wikipedia articles, no matter how strong their connection is. The companies are not members; the people are. Ground Zero | t 22:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be in favour of adding the currency rule that's being applied to those considered for depiction on banknotes - those depicted must have been dead for 25 years or more.Scuppersthesailordog (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scupper didnt see this before but I agree it should be limited to deceased people but I think your 25 year after death proposal is unduly restrictive.
The Ontario Geographic Naming Board’s guiding principle for naming geographic features is:
"3.6 Living persons
The Board does not support commemorative naming of a living person.
3.7 Deceased persons
A person must be deceased at least 5 years before the Board will consider a commemorative name proposal."
Your 25 year proposal would currently deny mention to George Harding Cuthbertson , Jim Flaherty a Federal Minister of Finance , Toronto Mayor Allan Lamport and Paul Phelan all major figures in my estimation
I suggest a person with a wikipedia page deceased for at least 5 years. Unionville (talk) 18:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
