<!--Entries are alphabetical by last name.-->
<!--Per WP:RELIABLE and WP:VERIFY, wikilinks do not substitute for inline citations, in part for reader benefit (not separating readers from sources by extra clicks), but also because there is no guarantee that the information stated here (i) either appears, or (ii) is attributed to source at the wikilinked article (despite intentions of the editorial statements that follows). Otherwise, per WP:VERIFY, all information that is not sky-is-blue requires attribution to a source, and no material following (no factual tie of listed entries to Lake Bluff) is sky-is-blue obvious.-->
<!-- Note:
· Although this requirement violates [[WP:REDLINKBIO]], to meet this local article editor group's test of notability, the only acceptable entries for people will be those who (i) already have a Wikipedia article, and (ii) follow the following two rules:
· ·that the wikilinked article mentions their association with Lake Bluff (e.g., born, raised, residing, etc.); and
· ·that the fact(s) regarding their Lake Bluff association, at the wikilinked page, cite at least one reliable source supportive.
· While all WP editors must submit to the consensus of all participating editors, including at this article, it is likely that edits adding entries that do not submit to these rules will be reverted.
