Is it right to include MS Dhone as list of people from Bihar?

He is from Jharkhand.

I have removed his name, and reason is in the edit summary [1]. --Bhadani 14:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Removal of red/unlinked edit

I have removed everyone from the list who is either unlinked or redlinked (except for the ancient people) per WP:NLIST. In order to appear on a list like this, we need either a wikipage or a reference that verifies that the person is notable and lived in Bihar--without that, a person cannot be included. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Order of people edit

Actually, the correct way to order each sublist is alphabetically--it is the standard procedure for all lists of this type (except in cases where there's some other indisputable logical ordering, like a Chief Minister section where chronological makes more sense). I don't have the patience right now to fix this, but if you just alphabetize each of the lists, then there's no need to get involved in arguments about who has "precedence".
