Wikipedia:Find a Grave famous people

"Famous"
As for Find-A-Grave defines "famous":
- Q. How does Find A Grave define 'famous'?
- A. Please don't confuse importance with fame. Every one of your ancestors is important, and every veteran deserves to be remembered and honored-but that does not mean that they are 'famous'. An individual is more likely to be designated as 'famous' on the Find A Grave site if he or she is well known outside of his or her local community.
If you believe a person on this list may be non-notable, please place them in a separate section at the bottom of that list's page under the heading "Possibly non-notable", and with a short explanation of why you believe the person to not be notable. Do not delete any names from this list, even if they're blue links. Only delete blue links if you've verified that the person linked is the same person on Find-A-Grave's site. Some of the items on this list are not people, but memorials, etc. Please follow the same process mentioned above for determining notability.
