 :I was unaware that there was guidance to include people who were also born in that town. I don't like that, people are usually born in hospitals, and not every town has a hospital. I was born in a town I never lived in, I don't think it is right to say I am a person from that town. When you first added Butterfield to the list on the Ponoka article, I went to his article to verify that there was a reference for this claim, there it said he was born in Ponoka, and his parents were farmers, but no statement that he lived in Ponoka. So I reverted you. The second time you added Butterfield to the list on the Ponoka article, you provided a reference to a Globe and Mail article that said his parents moved to Alberta to farm, but it had no mention of Ponoka, and a reference to a Lethbridge Herald article from 1953, which I can't verify. I assume this is what you meant by ""he also attended high school there"", and ""he was still living there 17 years later""? I see on his article there is an obituary from the Edmonton Journal that says he was born in Ponoka, so I'll give you that, and I assume The Lethbridge Herald verifies that he attended school in the town. In my view, anyone who has actually lived in a city can be included, if it can be verified in a reliable source pursuant to WP:BIO and WP:BLP. But I have yet to see a source that says Butterfield lived in Ponoka.   "
