Notable people lists
Just FYI with notable people lists like at Upper Arlington, Ohio, all that matters is that the person in the list already has established notability by Wikipedia's standards (i.e. a Wikipedia article exists on them) and there is a clear connection (a reliable source) between that person and the city. The Wendy Thomas article doesn't mention Upper Arlington, so that would need a source in the UA article, while the Jeni Bauer entry at least needs a source connecting her to UA. Someone being professionally successful or accomplished doesn't mean they're notable, though, and the lists aren't about balance or representation. These lists are simply to connect articles that have something in common, which in this case, is the city. --JonRidinger (talk) 17:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

(talk): I hear your concerns but I must respectfully disagree. Upper Arlington (UA) is part of the Greater Columbus Area (additionally there are no hospitals with maternity wards in UA so one cannot be born there, this is why the individual in question's biographical entry says "born in Columbus"); in the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) profile of the Upper Arlington Community (entitled Columbus Neighborhoods) the Thomas family -- of the Wendy's chain -- are mentioned as notable, UA residents https://www.pbs.org/video/columbus-neighborhoods-upper-arlington-notable-people/. Wendy Thomas also has her own wiki profile so meets the standard through both wiki concerning both affiliation(s) and biographical entries.
