Shouldn't the Gallagher brothers in Oasis be included in this list under mmusic???
Title inaccurate
Hmm, "native" is inaccurate if the list includes people who lived or worked in Manchester for a few years, rather than originated there.

I am not sure, now you mention it! I would plump for Notable Mancunians or List of same, depending on which seemed to fit in best with other such lists.

I don't see any logic for someone like Niels Bohr, who is Dane, to be included in an article whose lead says it's about Mancunians. I'm sure he was never called a Mancunian in his life. Either the people who weren't born in Manchester need to be taken out or the lead needs to be changed to say that it includes residents.

I've removed the whole list from the main page, per
WP:V and
WP:BLP, but placed it here as a courtesy. You MUST cite your sources when adding to a page. Many of these people weren't from Manchester (eg.
Lydia Becker is from
Chadderton, so one for the
List of people from Oldham;
Ricky Hatton is from Stockport;
Hazel Blears is from Salford). Here is the list:
Are we saying born in Manchester, in which case what does that mean? It could be anything from the rather small city of Manchester to Greater Manchester, and then do we mean the current Greater Manchester or some definition that varies with time? Do we accept evidence that they grew up in Manchester as the presumption that they were born here? For historical figures the parish where they were christened is recorded rather than their birth for example. These problems must have been addressed in other similar articles
