I'm not happy with this picture at the top - it just doesn't say 'Scarborough' to me... I think we need the iconic view of the castle on the headland... Flarpster ( talk) 23:32, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
(presented for discussion)
My attention was drawn to the present list by the presence of a redlinked entertainer—not of the slightest interest to most of the English-speaking world. Then I noticed the names of other pop singers, radio and TV presenters and other quite minor personages who are separately and adequately linked to Scarborough by the
relevant template created for the purpose. My argument is that the criterion of notability for inclusion should extend beyond mere local fame and be verified by a broad and weighty swag of citations in the linked article. Further, the details in the linked article do not need to be duplicated here in the form of a list of, movies, TV series, footballing achievements, etc. Furthermore, I question the arbitrary limitation of this section to those born in Scarborough, which has unconscionably excluded
Alan Ayckbourn. Subject, of course, to normal consensus, my proposed edits will result in the following:

I've removed the following uncited content: The printing industry is well represented in the town. Pindar, which also owns the AlphaGraphics chain, is a Scarborough-born company with an international profile. My ground for this is the article Alphagraphics which refers to a bankrupt Pindar group, apparently based in Salt Lake City, Utah! Bjenks ( talk) 05:10, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

There's no mention of the lifeboat station, which was in the news today (albeit The Daily Mail). Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:12, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
I have readded accurately sourced information that had been (sloppily) deleted from the Media section. I am of the belief that the user who edited this section may have some connection to Radio Scarborough, hence the deletion of information concerning Coast & County Radio (a DAB station), but the retention of the positive information concerning Radio Scarborough (an online-only "station" that was fined for pirate broadcasting in 2017). 84.92.90.18 ( talk) 16:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Is Osterode no longer twinned with Scarborough? But is now twinned with Whitby? I can't find anything to state these 'facts', other than recent Wiki updates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nix D ( talk • contribs) 17:33, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Information about the town's demographics seems incorrect. Notably, approximately 27% of the town is over 65, according to the 2021 census - not 7.5% over 60, as claimed. 92.3.39.6 ( talk) 14:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
