Invalid entries?[edit]

Some of the people listed here are not actually from Des Moines proper. A case could be made that they are certainly from the Des Moines Metro Area. Kyle Orton from Altoona, and Brandon Routh from Norwalk are two examples. Should the article be better titled "people from the Des Moines, Iowa area?" Or maybe this is an overly pedantic concern on my part?
