 * Nice going, I came onto this list and found two entries. Why don't you get the references off the individual articles? --MacRusgail (talk) 17:36, 26 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This list clearly falls within the remit of WP:BLP policy, and as such, it should be the responsibility of those adding people to it to provide proper citations. It is unreasonable to create lists, and then expect others to edit them to conform to standards. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Further to this, I note that the list included Andy McNab. Our article makes no statement about him being of Greek ancestry, but instead says that he was "Found abandoned on the steps of Guy's Hospital in Southwark". How are we supposed to have 'referenced' his ancestry from this?. I have removed McNab from the list above. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:48, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
