List of entertainers who have lived in or near Chicago

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a duplicate list that's already merged with List of musicians from Chicago and List of people from Chicago. There is no need to keep duplicate lists of notable media personalities from Chicago. It appears this list was made before the Notable people list had a media and music subsection and was never deleted. D kriegls ( talk to me! ) 06:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as duplication and WP:OR on the "near" part. Australia is "near" to Chicago, if you looked at the size of the universe.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:40, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete My bigger problem is that "lived" is such a low threshold. Are we going to include people who were at some college in Chicago for one year? Is that enough really?John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:28, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
