1275:. "A fast and easy way to establish this is if they already have an article written about them on Knowledge, since it would have never been approved, or would have been deleted, if they did not meet notability requirements. This is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notable standards may not have an article". So we have both people who are included in such lists that do not warrant their own BLP and people like Ulysses S. Grant who's relationship to the list is notable for the list, but not for his own BLP. Those are two exceptions to your proposed policy that I find with some regularity. The "Lists of people" section on the Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists page is guidance for all lists of people, not just your ever changing subset of lists of people. Please take some time to appreciate that you are asking for a change to a long standing consensus on in-line verifiable policy; not on an actual policy page, but on a manual of style page. In-line citation at the presentation of the content has been a long standing wp:policy. 328:"someone who wants a source on the list can just go fetch the source from the article". If it was ever there in the first place. And if it hasn't been removed in the meantime (sources get removed from articles for all sorts of reasons, including perfectly reasonable ones). Effectively, an unsourced entry on a list is nothing but an assertion that at some point in history there might have been a source validating inclusion. If the person adding the name to the list understood policy at all - after all, why should anyone assume that adding a new name to a list requires a source if there is no evidence that any of the other entries are sourced? No, someone adding a name to a list can 'just' do what is expected of them in any other context on Knowledge - provide explicit sourcing. If they can't be bothered to perform this elementary task they have no business editing in the first place. We are writing for the benefit of readers, not the convenience of contributors, and we have an 224:, that doesn't alter the fact that unsourced lists can and do frequently contain blatant violations of WP:BLP policy - and the claim that 'it is sourced in the biography' is not only dubious per policy (we don't cite our articles as sources), but frequently impossible to verify, since the source for the claim isn't named. And why the heck shouldn't we insist that the very thing that merits inclusion on a list should be cited where the reader can find it? We are supposed to be writing for the benefit of readers, not the convenience of list-compilers too lazy to actually provide a citation when they are adding someone to a list? If they are adding a name, they must be working from a source (or at least, they darned well should be) and are in the best position to get it right. 806:
event, the place to hash this out should be the BLP itself where the claim and the source can be fully vetted. As it is, most lists of notable X do not have sources no matter how notorious, so arguing they should all be sourced is pointless. They aren't and that's not likely to change. To the contrary, in those few cases where an entry is sourced, it's been my experience that the sourcing is rarely of the quality that would stand up in the BLP and it's offered only because the BLP does not make the claim. It's a way of sneaking things in. All I'm proposing is the simple, workable rule that if you'd like to add someone to a list of notable X that requires blue-linked articles, the BLP should clearly state they are indeed an X.
1452:
should have that verification via source, but it is near universally that this is known and included. As such, a blue-link on a list would be sufficient. But your example, such as being a Freemason, or being a hacker, those are things that may or may not be listed in the bio article. Or even something like a person being a (self-stated) supporter of LGBT rights, that might be in the article but buried. To meet WP:V we should be considering how much effort the V part is met. Birthplace - a jump to the article should reveal it on the top of the page. Freemason/hacker/LGBT supporter, that's not universally going to be the case, so the source should be right there on the list to avoid any WP:V-based ambiguity. --
1556:(3) Re: what about claims that might be "too trivial" for the bio, it seems to me this argument assumes the unlikely; the more likely reason we wouldn't report something is because the sourcing isn't that good. Setting aside that it has not been my experience that WP fails to report stuff because the topic is too trivial, if it's too trivial to report that someone was an X, then maybe he really wasn't that much of an X after all. Most of these lists of notable X introduce themselves as lists of people known for something. If the claim isn't important enough make it into their bio, it doesn't sound to me like they were really known for it. 1082:"It's more than just a list of names". So your proposed recommendation is limited to lists of just names? That seems randomly convenient for you to add at this point in the discussion. Are you aware that there is also a long standing consensus that lists of just names are to be avoided whenever possible? Prose explaining the person's connection to the list is always preferred to no prose at all. If you disagree, please explain how you think Knowledge treats lists-with-just-names differently from lists-with-more-then-just-names. Because the only difference I'm aware of is that the first should be given a tag encouraging editors to expand it? 1611:, not someone agreeing with you. As has been explained to you multiple times now, not all blue links are BLPs. Nor even biographies of dead people. People involved in a single notable event may have links to all types of articles that aren't biographies. Most importantly, that note specifically says "The fact of their association should have a reliable source cited." I've never cited BLP as cause against your proposal, hence my reference. I've only cited in-line citation at the source guidelines. There is no consensus on requiring citations anywhere but at the source of the claim. Hence 1744:
required a WP:Verifiable source. Additionally, the editors on the BLP page of the individual in question should be informed of their inclusion on this list. Please put this on their biography's talk page (canned take page edit). Also, please consider adding this claim to their biography". You patrolling that page is will probably achieve the similar ends. I also encourage you to expand the list with a good lead that describes hackers (maybe differentiating white and black hats) and maybe a little about what makes each entry qualify as a hacker.
31: 1111:"It's not likely to be contentious since we can presume the Ig Noble prize was either awarded or not awarded" and yet the talk page is littered with small debates about the reason the person was given the award or if the award misrepresented their work and that Knowledge shouldn't repeat the misrepresentation. If the editors of this list were following the well established policy of inline citations for every BLP list entry, it would make their work easier. Like the editors at this 399:-- This is precisely the same as if someone adds content to an article with a source and then someone else removes the source. A statement in a BLP article is nothing but an assertion that at some point in history there might have been a source validating the statement. In such a case, as with the list article, the statement/list item should then be removed. If there's no source, there's no source. But the premise here is that there 2026:, but I did it at her article, not at the island's page. There are also two articles that have "of Kos" in their common names. The list is also not long, so verification is not tedious. In cases such as this it helps keep the list clean by avoiding citation clutter on every entry of the list, especially with citations which have little to do with the island itself but rather with the individuals involved. 963:
more than a few instances like this. I've been on both sides of debates about whether these events are WP:Notable enough for inclusions on lists. Trying to create a mandate for only including materiel also found in a BLP, would simply be creating editorial pain where no reason for creating such pain is apparent...because we already have rather broad consensus for inline citation at the list level.
734:-- and we know the fact that a person is a clarinetists is verifiable because it's verified by a reliable source at the person's article, there's no verifiability concern. Now, if someone challenges someone's inclusion on the list, then a citation can be demanded there as with anything else. But it is not the case that, across the board "inclusion in a list requires a source - in the list". ā€” 1725:) that offer little more than a navigational list of names. But the language I proposed doesn't actually say that and I'm willing to concede the point that strictly speaking, yes, our policy does ask for sources every time a claim is made. Would you be more amenable if any ambiguity were removed, clarifying merely that both the article and the list should make the same claim with sources? 1553:. Would it be okay to add Obama so long as I have what I claim is an RS? How about if I have two of them? Or maybe three. How many would you like? My real question is, do you think we should debate the claim and the sources there at the list or is that forum shopping? Shouldn't we settle basic questions of what we will report about an individual in one place, at his BLP? 2134:. This is energetically maintained by a prolific editor, who may have missed the fact that some of the people on the list are Haitian-Americans who have never been to Haiti. They cannot be easily confirmed without a citation, which would clear the matter up immediately. (He has purged the list of citations and {{cn}}s)! I need my ducks in order before taking him on). 152:
by including someone in a list that are not made in the blue-linked article, even if sourced. If you have a new source that supports a new claim that would support inclusion in a list, that claim and source should first be added to the main article, where other editors familiar with the subject will more likely see it and can vet both the claim and the source under
954:
stopped counting at 10) is all the evidence you need that list inclusion in general is contentious enough to require inline citation at the list level. In contrast to your proposal, there are lots of reasons why a well supported fact about an individual might be notable for the list in question, but not for the BLP of the living person. For instance, the people of
1352:<!-- Note: Ā· Only people who already have a Knowledge article may appear here. This establishes notability. Ā· The article must mention how they are associated with Eureka, California, whether born, raised, or residing. Ā· The fact of their association should have a reliable source cited. Ā· Alphabetical by last name please. Ā· All others will be deleted. --: --> 881:. The question is this: Do you think you should be able to add someone to a list of notable X, possibly making a contentious claim that the individual is an X, even if the BLP does not say that, just so long as you have a source? I don't think so. You both appear to think this would be okay; it would be helpful if you could clarify your position. 1709:
claim of a connection should have a reliable source, that you were depending on the editors at that article to sort out the issue, if there was one, the same way you depended on them to sort out any question of notability. (You certainly are claiming these are notable people but you're also certainly not demanding sources for that.)
780:. Another way to look at it: if the inclusion on the list is based on the fact not being contentious, then I should be able to verify that fact with almost no effort by looking at the blue-linked article. If it requires me to read between the lines or get into details, then it probably should be cited at the list article. -- 136:
with the subject, not in a separate list. This is why we don't generally clutter most lists of notable X with references when a blue-linked article is required. These are basically navigation lists, not where we check the claims except just to verify that the article is there and makes the claim. Consequently, I
2354:"a page for non-style guidance regarding stand-alone lists". A renaming would would simply be an acknowledgement of this fact. While it (arguably) may be improper for a "style guide" to discuss non-style related issues (such as Notability), there is no reason why a broader guideline can't cover style issues. 1333:. There are three big problems with your example. First, Grant is a not a living person and hasn't been almost 130 years. He is not covered by BLP. Second, so far as I know, no one assume that if you lived in Eureka, that you are probably a criminal. It is not like being called a hacker. Third, the 805:
be easy to verify it with almost no effort by looking at the blue-linked article. If that's not the case, I don't think you should add the individual to the list even if you do have a source because it should be obvious there might be other sources that disagree or a case of undue weight. In either
440:
If the list is a topic that is even potentially contentious (like being a hacker, white- or black-hat), as compared to a rather mundane fact (like being born from a specific country), then it should be sourced to be included in the list, even if the blue-linked article has this clearly cited as well.

2075:
Well, there are three other editors at the article, two at the talkpage and one in the article history who don't think this is an improvement. I find such reference use unnecessarily pedantic. It also clutters the article references with references largely unrelated to the main topic. But I've said

Having edited thousands of these pages, I can assure you I come across

is bloody simple: if add something about an LP you need to provide a good reliable source to back it up. If you don't, it'll get ripped out. If you continue to add the same, you'll face censure. I'm not sure which bit of this silliness you are failing to understand, but this thread is going past the
531:
of lists of notable X that also require blue-linked BLPs, I think questions of whether someone really is an X should be decided at the BLP. You shouldn't be able to add someone to a list, especially a notorious or perhaps obscure list, even if you do have a source, if their BLP doesn't also clearly
417:
Personally, I'm less concerned with what 'should' happen than with what frequently does. Which is that people get put on lists with no source at all. Though if the level of scrutiny you are advocating was carried out on the BLP talk page, one would think that little extra effort would be involved in

that includes "A community of enthusiast computer programmers and systems designers", even though their articles do not identify them as hackers and certainly no one believes these are "People committed to circumvention of computer security" or who engage in "unauthorized remote computer break-ins".
1712:
I'm not sure I understand your objection based my suggesting the change here, not on a policy page. Arguably, I suppose it could be ignored if it's only a style issue, which if you think it's a silly rule, you might like. Why would this be a permissible rule only if it's policy, making exceptions
1708:
I appreciate that you intended that statement to indicate that the citation should appear there on the list. But realistically, the statement is ambiguous on where the source is supposed to appear. I read it to be an elaboration on the previous sentence and to mean that the article that makes the

The text I wrote? With the expressed understanding that I followed it with "The fact of their association should have a reliable source cited." In that, entry on the list must be cited at the list where the claim is made. I can assure you that I posted that on a lot of these pages and yet let stand
1424:
articles... The inclusion criteria for those articles is two fold: 1) the person must be notable to qualify for the list. That is a requirement which is satisfied by the fact that the person has a Knowledge article. Second, the person must be a Freemason to qualify for the list. THAT is a claim
828:
You are essentially saying that 'crap exists, so we may as well stick to that level, because its too difficult to do anything else'. That's just not good enough. If you add information about a LP to any page it needs to be reliably sourced. That's the bottom line, and trying to justify not adding a
633:
So what do you say to the editor who adds a name to a notorious list based on a reliable source supporting a claim that is not made (or perhaps contested) in the BLP? Are saying you think the debate should happen at list article, out of view of the editors working on the BLP? And what if the list
472:
It begs the question, which is why if for "List of X" where X is a potentially contentious claim, the source should be on the list (as well as duplicated in the article, obviously) - we should not be asking readers to search for this in the person's article if the claim is made on the list page and
151:
Where the requirement is for an existing article to demonstrate notability, that existing article should identify the individual as meeting the selection criteria. That article is also where any sources needed to support the claim would normally go. New claims about the subject should not be made

1739:
You're the first of many editors who've read my note and told me it was ambiguous. Perhaps because the others were more likely to assume the pre-eminence of our in-line citation policy. I'm always up for suggestions to improve it. The ultimate goal is not to prevent red linked names of wp:notables
1451:
Well, in considering a place of birth, this is universally a piece of information found in an infobox or in the bio section for any person. (I would be hard pressed to find an example of a person of modern-enough times (19th century onward) lacking any details of where they were born). The article
1279:
specifically discourages what you are suggesting: "Content from a Knowledge article is not considered reliable unless it is backed up by citing reliable sources. Confirm that these sources support the content, then use them directly." e.g., don't cite the article and thus indirectly its editors as
1067:
That's not an example at all. (a) It's not a list of notable X. (b) It doesn't require a blue-linked article for inclusion. (c) It's more than just a list of names, it's an actual article with descriptions of each award. (d) While some of the entries do have sources and/or blue-links, many have
730:. That's broader than inclusion in a list where inclusion is potentially contentious. Nobody's arguing against verifiability, because verifiability explicitly does not mean the same thing as every statement having an inline citation. If we're talking about a subject that is not contentious -- say, 698:
I do note within the mos we have the language "Stand-alone lists are subject to Knowledge's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources. This means statements should be sourced where they appear, they must provide inline citations if they contain any of

I'll also add that this is a grayish area that doesn't need to be a huge problem. If someone adds a person to a list, and the person's inclusion in the list is sourced at the person's article, then someone who wants a source on the list can just go fetch the source from the article. Likewise, when

It seems to me, and I think it's been a common practice, just never explicit, that the right place to vet most sources and claims about an individual who's notable and has a blue-linked article is there at the article itself in the plain light of day in front of all the other editors most familiar

1487:
It's not that it is "controversial" but that on the blue linked article, I don't have to "work" to find a source to support the claim because (in this case) it's sourced in the first + second sentences of the body, and not buried; this is because bio articles universally start with "So and so was
953:
Yes! If you have a WP:Reliable source that supports a contentious claim that is important enough for the BLP page, then the issue is not with the list page, but with the BLP page and why it is being kept off. The mere fact that we are debating the issue of list level inline citations yet again (I

In general, the specifics of whether a description/term X should apply to a person is best hashed out at the article for the person. A person should not be added to a list of X if it has not been determined to be appropriate at the article. But there is no broad requirement that the sources which

If you are dropping the in-line citation objection and simply sticking to the need for better vetting of who and who-is-not a Hacker, then let's take it to the hacking page. I suggest making a note like I did that says something like "calling someone a Hacker is possibly a contentious claim and
202:
I have to agree with Andy's reversion here. A BLP claim needs to be on the page on which any statement is made. If the BLP statement happens to be on 5 or 6 pages, it needs to be cited on 5 or 6 pages. We cannot rely on sourcing from a different page to back up any claim, but especially when it

I think we want cites for lists of NN people. e.g. The First Violinists for the Chicago Philharmonic have been 1) Joe Doakes 1879-1883 (cite), 2) Mary Smith 1883-1907 (cite), etc. Should one of these be notable, my understanding is that a cite is still required. Each Knowledge article is

Some comments. (1) Doesn't pretty much everyone know how to use Ctrl-F? If you'd like to find where the bio says someone was a hacker/Freemason/LGBT supporter, don't you think most people know how to do a search? It's not like they actually have to read the whole article to find
843:
Exactly - it is a lazy habit that predated BLP and while BLP's in place a while, we haven't really cleaned up messes that existed before. BLP lists really should have a source for every entry until there's clearly no contentious evaluation of inclusion (such as by birth place).
1367:
Clearly, I am not the only person who thinks it's not unreasonable that if you have a list of notable X that requires blue-linked articles, that the linked article should state whatever claim is required for inclusion on the list and provide a reliable source for the claim.
2116:, do you (or did you) have any concern that these entries might be incorrect? It's not clear whether you were concerned about the content itself ("Maybe this doesn't belong on this list") or only about its presentation ("Knowledge looks more respectable with citations"). 1671:. Most editors on this thread clearly aren't siding with your proposal. Instead of wasting everyone's time with this, why don't you focus on something you can change. What is it about the hacker list that you find unnerving? Let us help you change that at the page level. 1914:
Using reliable sites to establish that an item belongs in a list should be stated somewhere clearly and echo-ed in sub-policy and Project articles so this problem does not persist. And yes, "apple is a fruit" is allowable without citation. But the problem with making

1716:
Is your objection that you think I'm arguing against also providing sources in the list? It's true that I do happen to think they're pretty much unnecessary if the bio clearly makes the claim with proper sourcing, especially for those lists of notable X (e.g.,
