List of people from Colorado

edit

This is an article myself and several other editors have been working on for quite some time. When I first encountered the list, it was very disorganized and cluttered. A group of editors (see the history of the list) and I worked to improve the article both informatively and in formatting so that it would be ready for featured list status. It follows all five criteria, as far as I can see. — † Webdinger BLAH | SZ 00:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment What is there looks good, but the lead could be expanded. Also, the list seems incomplete. Only 41 people (five without an article) that were born or reside in Colorado are worth noting? Seems like there should be a lot more. VegaDark 01:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:Someone will soon come along and officially object about the copyright status of some of the images. Generally try to avoid fair use or copyrighted images. Rmhermen 02:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose
    • This list is a dynamic list, and will be subject to too much changes as time advance. It's probably not truely comprehensive either (e.g. categoryPeople from Colorado has 195 pages, this lists about 60 of them, but lists are generally expected to expand beyond categories.)
    • All images should be strictly free, because this list is not closely associated with any of these people.
    • As far as Images goes, maybe you could consider adding a map or a generic landscape picture for the lead? Not everyone can locate Colorado on a map (I am Canadian and although I have a rough diea of where it is, I couldn'ts pot it with 60% accuracy on a map). This is just a suggestion, though.

  • Oppose. The notion of notability is very vague and hence this list can never be considered complete. Unless it is clearly defined what is considered notable, this shouldn't become a Featured List. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 09:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - list should be focused on people who are actual Colorado natives, but can also include those who were raised in Colorado or lived in Colorado. I actually found the list of people from North Carolina useful, so maybe you could make the list of Coloradoans in a similar style/format. -User:Arual
