Famous people of Lagos[edit]

I think that Ptince Henry, the Navigator, should be considered as a Notable Citizen of Lagos. Although he had not been born in Lagos, he lived a considerable part of his life in Lagos and in its suburbs, he was dead in a Vila close to Lagos and he was buried in Lagos (Igreja de Santa Maria da Graça)before being transfered to Mosteiro da Batalha. Moreover, he gave a significant contribution to Lagos comunity, by organising and supervising the maritime expeditions to the Atlantic Ocean and to the western African Coast. He is one of the internationally best known citizens of Portugal.

Oppose: The intention of the "Notable citizens" subsection refers specifically to those people born/died in the municipality. By opening up this subsection to this type of reference, there is a tendency for every important person that lived in the area to be included. This is the case with Coimbra, where every temporary resident, including people who studied at the University (such as Luís de Camões) is listed as a notable resident. Consequently, EVERY place any monarch, infante/infanta, artist would have a claim, thereby reducing the importance/significance of the subsection. The municipality references to "Notable citizens" specifically limits the references to people born or dying/buried in the municipality.

Slave market[edit]

The caption for the slave market photo says it was the first slave market in Europe. I find this claim highly suspect. The Romans and Greeks had well-established slavery over a thousand years before the Lagos market was built. Did they not have markets? 78.86.61.94 (talk) 00:58, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
