List of people from Maharashtra - You have added many people who IMO, dont belong there. I can understand A.R.Rehman. But Ilayaraja??? MS Subbulakshmi - my God ??? While it may be true that these people may have performed in Maharashtra or Mumbai, I dont feel it is correct to label them as from Maharashtra. Anyway, IMO, the article isnt very useful. It links to a large repository of unwritten articles. Wikipedia does not recommend such articles. Waiting for your response chance 12:57, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)
I am removing the following names from the list. Reasons enclosed in paranthesis
I don't want to recommend this article for deletion straight away. But, appreciate if you could add materials to the myriad linked articles with nil contents, soon. The way I would do it would be NOT TO LINK to blank articles here, and add the diminished list to the footer of Maharashtra article. When the list grows large, you can consider moving it to a separate page. Cheers, chance 04:54, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)
I would suggest deletion of the entire movies and music section. Only those that qualify can be added afresh. We need to come up with the criteria to be a Maharashtrian. Birth, Marathi mother-tongue, Maharashtrian parents ? Jay 18:34, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I've removed these names from the list. If they are Maharashtrian, please add them back.
Added Aishwarya Rai. Her schooling and college was done in Mumbai and still lives in Mumbai.
Try to avoid adding names of politicians with criminal background
