[edit] Noteable Residents

There are several residents listed for both Provo and Orem, for example LaVell Edwards and Marie Osmond. I know the towns border eachother but what are odds that all these people's homes actually straddle the border between the two? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.210.172 (talk) 01:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

It's probably partly due to their fame in the area in general. Also, sometimes someone is born in one area, then lives in another later on. With this case, I'm not sure. --UtahStizzle (talk) 04:16, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to weigh in on this - the Notable People section seems to be filled with people who were in Provo only because they attended/worked at Brigham Young University. I assume that a "from . ." section should only reference a person who either was born, was raised in youth, or spent a significant portion of their lives in that area - just going to a school there doesn't make one a Provo-an any more than "sleeping in a garage makes one a Chevrolet", as the saying goes. What do other people think on this subject?? --Raymondwinn (talk) 16:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

- The people listed in the section have spent a large portion of their lives in Provo, and most in the list continue to live there. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 17:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

It's my understand the Osmonds were not raised in Provo, but were raised in Ogden and moved to Provo later. 75.67.234.133 (talk) 20:48, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
