Article history[edit]

This list was created following Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 March 15#Category:Electricians by nationality. This was subsequently discussed at WP:DRV and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 April 1#Category:Electricians, at which there was no consensus about the list. IMHO the list should be kept as it presents more information than the category, namely the grounds for the notability achieved by each electrician with an article. – Fayenatic London 20:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing[edit]

I have always accepted in the past that it is sufficient for inclusion in a list that the linked articles should support the relevant fact and provide a citation. However, this article has just been tagged as Unreferenced. I have checked that each linked article refers to the person's having been an electrician, and is suitably sourced. Is it necessary to repeat the citations for each one on this list page? – Fayenatic London 19:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's likely a good idea to source entries here, to verify the information within the article, despite whether or not the criteria is verified in other articles. Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:33, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
