Category talk:People by nationality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nationality This seems to treat nationality as equivalent to country. There are
- nationalities without corresponding countries:
- Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, various pre-colonial ethnicities of North American mainland
- Kurdish, Assyrian
- Chechen (arguably), various Siberian ethnic groups, Tatar, Karelian, and probably others
- Tibetan, Uyghur, & probably other non-Han ethnic groups of China
- Sikhs (arguably not just a religion), Tamil, Ainu, Okinawan, Hmong, Shan
- Basque, Breton, Catalan, Galician, Scottish, Welsh, Roma, Lapp, perhaps Frisian
- and nationalities that substantially extend beyond the corresponding countries (to name a few, and leaving out those i could list simply because "New York has more than the capital city of the corresponding country")
- Irish
- Armenian
- most of the ex-Soviet historically Muslim republics (many have minorities in at least Afghanistan)
- several East-European nationalities
- Russian (Baltic states, Georgia, Moldova, & at least Kazakhstan come to mind)
- Korean (two Koreas & North America)
- Cuban, Mexican (US)
- Asian-derived nationalities with widespread diasporas:
- Chinese (besides Taiwan)
- Indian
- East Indian
- Mongolians
- Jews (not just a religion, and arguably Jews and/or non-Israeli Jews are a nationality)

This is a complete misnomer if you are suggesting that you can be Irish and not born in Ireland. In this instance a person would be of Irish descent, but their nationality is determined by their place of birth. However, you can be Irish and move to another country. Your nationality/status would change, but you would, of course, be from Ireland. Your future children, if any, would not be Irish. This trend of assuming nationality based on descent seems more prevalant in America than anywhere else. --Gerald Davies 11:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- Is there some categorization project with policy to categorize people by nativity? The articles on nation and nationality make clear that there are multiple meanings. (Even nativity isn't decisive.) --P64 18:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "People by nationality" vs "List of people by nationality"
Can anyone help me understand this? Two lists:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_by_nationality
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_by_nationality
are not the same, eg: the first has Zimbabwean people but not Zambian people; the second has Zambians but not Zimbabweans. Both lists are partial -- presumably the lists are not generated automatically by the database?

[edit] Inuit
Someone forgot to add the "category:Inuit people" in the "category:People". --Eleassar777 22:22, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] People of Nation
I suggest we consider following what seems an emerging consensus on the Commons to use "(subject) of (name of place)" categorization, thus for example "People of Japan" rather than "Japanese people". -- Infrogmation 00:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
