Page title[edit]

I suggest that the title of the page should be changed to 'List of Famous Malaysians' instead. It's much more descriptive.

Are some of the people listed here actually Malaysians? eg. Tadashi Takeda, Shaun Maloney, etc. They may have been born in Malaysia but that doesn't mean that they are Malaysians (i.e. Malaysian citizens). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.248.176.70 (talk) 10:32, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup and notability issues[edit]

This is a list of "famous or notable" Malaysians, not a list of just any Malaysian. I will be cleaning this up today. If the name is a redlink, and I cannot find anything on Google, it will fail WP:N and the entry will be removed. If you think a name should remain on this list, then please discuss it here first on the talk page. – SMasters (talk) 05:06, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. I've been trying to address this issue across many nation lists the past few days. Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 16:32, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
