Talk:List of people from Syracuse, New York

City vs greater area
When someone with the inclination has nothing better to do they should probably merge the two lists into one. Most of the entries in the first list are not "accurate" to the heading. The distinction between the city and greater area doesn't seem to be terribly interesting anyway. But it's all fucked up right now.

I added locations to each of the people listed under “greater area”, and found a lot of variability. Some were as close as East Syracuse and some were as far as Auburn. Tom Kenny, in the case of East Syracuse, I just moved to Syracuse. Same for John Katko who probably grew up in Fairmount but went to Bishop Ludden. Jackie Coogan also lived very close to downtown with his grandparents intermittently while he was a child actor, so he was transferred to that list as well. I agree it’s ugly, but tolerable for now. My biggest pet peeve is the lack of consistency in descriptions of people we’re alleging to be prominent. HistorianFromSyracuse (talk) 01:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Request for Comment
A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well. I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not. Any and all comments are more than welcome.
