Talk:List of people from Gloucestershire

Merit of this page
I'm not entirely convinced of the merit of this page. Personally I think the list of people is non-encyclopaedic, and that the category is miles better. So why create it? Some obvious cons: List of people from Kent was cited as an example to motivate creating this page on similar grounds. I note from the talk page there that the only comment is a damning criticism saying that there's no point. I'm not so bothered either way but if anyone has strong views maybe they would like to debate them there. I will certainly not be offended if someone deletes this article...
 * There is some kind of consensus (albeit rather passive) on Talk:Gloucestershire in favour of such a move. So it's less controversial than just deleting the list.
 * Crufty lists like this are quite persistent. Better here than cluttering up an article on the county.
 * Maybe someone has a use for it.
 * Maybe it's easier to find than a category.
 * The category is just as useful and less intrusive
 * There is no quality metric for the list, I think because no-one really knows what the point of the list is
 * No-one really knows what the point of the list is ;) People born there? Living there now?  Associated somehow?  Once you've chosen one of the above, explain why a list of these people is useful...
