Untitled[edit]

I have started to add some references to the people listed on this page to prove that they are from Compton or lived there. Anyone who can help find references is encouraged to do so.

By the way, I realize that George Bush and George W. Bush have been removed from the list before, but it is verifiable that they once lived in Compton, so I have restored them with references. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AND they really lived here from 1949 - 1999???? Maybe that is why the refs were removed. It also does not say this in Bush's childhood on the Bush page, if it did then people won't remove it. Its probably notable, so if true should be there. As is it damages wikipedia' credibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.197.78.147 (talk) 10:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The dates were vandalized a while back. The dates, which should be "circa 1949-1950", were corrected. Postoak (talk) 17:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tyson Chandler[edit]

I am not sure that Tyson Chandler should be on this list. He definitely attended high school in Compton, but according to this Sports Illustrated article, it doesn't appear that he ever actually lived in Compton (under California Inter-scholastic Federation rules, he wasn't required to do so). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The George Bushes[edit]

Once again, I have restored George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush to the list. The reason I have four footnotes attached to their listing is that their residence in Compton (albeit brief) is something surprising and many people wouldn't believe it if they didn't see the sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:44, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And once again, I've restored the Bushes to the list. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
