While it may have some relevance, it still seems to be over-generalized in its name. Why not move / rename it to List of Influential Nigerians? The current name has me expecting a census dump of all citizens in the country. It's just too general of a topic title, in my opinion. --Roy Laurie 02:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Roy Laurie. I was half expecting to click on this and to find a huge page with millions of people listed. Debaser23 09:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• I moved the page to List of notable Nigerians, and purged the list of every "famout" Nigerian without a Wiki page. If they are indeed notable, either make a Wiki page for them or cite a source when you relist them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianga (talk • contribs) June 27, 2007

  Thanks for cleaning up the list. I've moved it back to List of Nigerians per Wikipedia:Lists_(stand-alone_lists)#Naming_conventions. Kappa 22:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actually Nigerians?

It seems that several on this list were neither born in Nigeria, nor moved to Nigeria - some may have had Nigerian parents, but that isn't always the case either. gnomelock 19:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
