I would like to propose some changes to this category's many sub-categories based on an effort already undertaken for the sub-cat Category:Canadian people by ethnic or national origin. The idea is to clarify the current use of sub-categories like "French Mexicans" or "New Zealand Australians" or "Italian Indians." These sub-cats won't be eliminated, but instead will be used for consistently. The new paradigm consists of sub-categories like:
- "Foo-ians of Goo-ian descent" -- for Foo-born Foo-ians who have one parent or grandparent from Goo.
- "Foo-ian Goo-ians" -- for Foo-ians of full Goo-ian origin (both parents Goo-ian). It also includes those born in the Goo to a Foo-ian parent or parents who later obtained Foo-ian citizenship.
- "Goo-ian immigrants to Foo" -- people of Goo-ian citizenship who attain Foo-ian citizenship
The other thing is that bios often don't go back more than one generation. (Kidman's article is silent on her origins beyond Australia because that's what she is -- Australian. According to some quick research, Kidman's parents are of Scottish descent on her mother's side and Irish descent on her father's.)
