User:MortimerCat/Notability within settlement articles

Town and village articles can attract lists of notable people who have at some time been associated with that place. Some of these connections can be tenuous and not relevant to the actual article. This guideline is intended for the editor wishing to trim down those lists, converting them into a prose format.

Eligibility

 * The person must comply with Notability (people). An article should exist for the individual concerned.

To be notable for a settlement article, the settlement must have a significance within that persons life.


 * They frequently referred to the place.
 * The local area has some form of memorial in place ie Blue plaque, renamed roads, statue, etc.
 * The area has influenced the persons work.

Alternatives

 * If a person was born in the settlement preferably use a category. i.e.
 * If a person was at school in the settlement, preferably list them under the school article if it exists.
