"Lived in Fargo"?!! edit

As near as I can tell, Chuck Klosterman attended UNDA from 1990-1994, worked at the Forum (Fargo newspaper) until 1998, and then left town, and hasn't lived there since. From reference 2 "After graduation from UND in 1994, he went to Fargo to work for the Forum and, four years later, joined the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal." Is four years of college and four years of work out of a (so far) 47 year life enough to make somebody "from" that place?!! This sounds like "George Washington slept here." --Eliyahu S ^Talk 11:21, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ditto Ilhan Omar. Should every notable alumnus from a Fargo high school or university be included? Sandcherry (talk) 02:28, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

UND is in Grand Forks. Therefore, I suggest removing Klosterman as he was not from Fargo, did not attend university in Fargo, and spent only four years in Fargo. Agree? Sandcherry (talk) 02:32, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
