[edit] Belmont, Ohio

Thanks for the question! I've removed these people, not because they're *bad* or otherwise can't be listed at all, but because (1) it's common to have such a list for communities, but (2) because the list is meant for notable people. This idea of "notability" doesn't simply mean what you might find in a dictionary; you can find it defined at Wikipedia:Notability — in short, being the focus of multiple independent secondary sources. With people such as Nora Dunfee and Harley Warrick, there are no articles on them, so we can't demonstrate notability. If you know that they fit the notability criteria, write articles about them, and then it will be good to put them back on the Belmont page. Nyttend (talk) 01:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
