Talk:List of Memon people

The list is unstructured and unsourced

 * The author has gone, so there is little chance that someone helps.
 * There is a parallel category Category:Memon people. Xx236 (talk) 08:02, 19 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I noticed mention of this list-article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lists and commented there. I disagreed there that this is unsourced:  the sourcing is in the linked articles, and doesn't need to be copied over.
 * About improving this list, one thing I wonder about is the ordering. It appears to be sorted by first name, or am I misunderstanding how these names work.  Should Abdool Razack Mohamed be listed first, or under the "M"s?  Or it could be sorted by birth-year, perhaps.
 * Update: Well apparently "Mohamed" is the last name, because now the person's article includes , so it sorts properly in the category display.  Some of the other articles have been fixed that way, but not all.  It would improve this list-article to use DEFAULTSORT properly in all those articles, then copy-paste in the new category display in proper order. --Doncram (talk) 07:01, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Certainly it could also be improved by adding some info about each member, e.g. date ranges of births and deaths, and/or what was occupation or significance of each person. That way it could be more helpful for a reader who is browsing.  There's little hint in just the names.
 * How does this one compare to other lists of notable persons of other ethnic/national groups? --Doncram (talk) 06:57, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
