List of people associated with Kanpur[edit]

Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. The inclusion criteria for this article is any person "associated" with Kanpur, with "associated" left undefined. This list could potentially include millions of people. This is listcruft. SnottyWong ^confer 22:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are such lists for many cities and towns. Perhaps it should be renamed just as List of people from Kanpur to per norm. And yes the list could potentially include millions of people if all of them are notable and have an article in wikipedia. User:Shyamsunder

Delete without prejudice to re-creation in future. The list isn't that long that it can't be accommodated in the Kanpur article. Should it grow sufficiently that it needs to be split off, then there should be no bar to doing so at that time. Mjroots (talk) 12:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now as per Mjroots. As it stands the list should include every person mentioned in Siege of Cawnpore and every other article that has anything to do with Cawnpore or Kanpur, which I would imagine was not the creator's intent (but perhaps it was, as the list currently includes people not from Kanpur). Many city articles have this list as part of the article; as Mjroots says, if the list becomes large enough then it can be hived off.YSSYguy (talk) 00:21, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
