Talk:List of people from Quincy, Illinois

John Wood, founder and 12th governor of Illinois  - founder or what? Illinois? And why is this list not in alphabetical order? User:Zoe|(talk) 23:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * John Wood founded Quincy 75.23.94.6 20:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Josh Rabe
Josh Rabe played baseball at Quincy University, but was raised in Mendon region. Perhaps he should be removed or the point should be clarified? He might have technically been born in Quincy due to the lack of surrounding region's hospitals, but his name in this article seems misleading. RegainTheTruth

Fictional
All due respect, but fictional persons should not be held to the same standards of notability as living persons. Very few fictional people hold Wikipedia articles, but it doesn't make them any less notable to be included here. Marlene from The Last of Us should be included. The source was also valid. I do enough editting on Wikipedia to know what is exactly notable or not. (Tigerghost (talk) 20:51, 3 August 2014 (UTC))
 * From WikiProject Cities/US Guideline: "To be included in a list of notable people, individuals must still meet the notability requirements per WP:PEOPLE." The stated criterion for these types of lists is for people who were "born or have lived" in said place. Fictional people can't meet this criterion. Additionally, Manual of Style/Trivia sections also applies here in that any trivia about Quincy, like a notable book using it as a setting, should be incorporated into the prose of the main article and not put into list form. However, before you choose this route for inclusion, make sure you have reliable non-local sources discussing the use of the town setting as a main focus of the article. -- D kriegls  ( talk to me! ) 05:27, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, technically, this whole article is "trivial." So if you or anyone else wants to be that strict about it then the article itself should probably be deleted, as for all list of people from places. (Tigerghost (talk) 16:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC))
 * I'm sorry you feel that way. Trivia and trivial are two different concepts on Wikipedia. This article is neither trivia, nor trivial. If you feel that it is trivia or trivial, you may submit your request to the Articles for deletion. However, before you do, I strongly encourage you to re-read Manual of Style/Trivia sections and Manual of Style/Lists. D kriegls  ( talk to me! ) 03:13, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
