 * Delete per nom. This is one weird set of criteria. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, it's very unusual to call someone moving from one American state to another an "emigrant". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:36, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Some of them didn't even leave the state, they just moved to New York City. Best, GPL93 (talk) 11:42, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment We have long agreed that Upstate New York is a notable region, and the same editor seems to have created or significantly developed a series of list articles including List of physicians and scientists of Upstate New York, List of political figures of Upstate New York and List of educators and librarians of Upstate New York. I imagine that most regions in the world won't ever have list articles like these, but I'm not sure that's really a deletion reason.  We have lists of bluelinked (i.e. notable) people connected with a notable region, so other than just being odd, what's wrong with it? Mccapra (talk) 10:44, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not aware of any other "List of emigrants", this is purely listcruft especially owing to the significant fraction of biographies in general that do not live where they were born. Delete or merge the other lists too; List of people from New York (state) will always be massive even if limited to upstate. Reywas92Talk 21:20, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - mildly interesting, but not a proper list as we have come to determine. Bearian (talk)
 * Delete - weird criteria and not written in an encyclopedic tone at all.  Nixinova  T  C  22:42, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
