Robert Symonds

Not born in Alaska, his bio has no mention of Alaska. Does he belong here? Dleit Ḵaa (talk) 05:33, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was prevented from having more time to finish things. You know, the liking to eat part and all that. Here's some informal criteria for inclusion.

The link on the list should be to a biography page on the person, not a list entry, redlink or anything else like that.
The person should be someone who is known outside of Alaska, but at the same time, should be known for having been born in or lived in Alaska. Careful consideration should also be given to not have the list be dominated by modern-day persons of dubious celebrity.

There are other things, but I'm not keeping a train of thought right now. I'll get back to this when I can.RadioKAOS (talk) 08:07, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
