Ethnicity lists discussion

Please see discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) for current discussion of a potential policy to apply to all ethnicity lists on Wikipedia, including this one. JackO'Lantern 20:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Sources

I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Mexican" or "Mexican-American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Mexican descent", "Mexican mother", etc.) is on the list. Here are the few people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a reliable source that fits that please restore the names:

• Paulie Ayala - Boxing
• Catherine Bach
• Alexis Bledel
• Cruz Bustamante
• Damian Chapa
• Diego Corrales - Boxing
• Stacy Ferguson
• Roman Gabriel - NFL football
• Jaime Luis Gomez
• Nicholas Gonzalez
• Chavo Guerrero Jr. - WWE
• Noel Gugliemi
• Oscar Gutierrez - WWE
• Genaro Hernandez - Boxing
• Gabriel Iglesias - comedian
• Joanna Kerns
• Shelly Martinez - WWE
• Naima Mora
• A.B. Quintanilla
• Efren Ramirez
• Bill Richardson
• Lil Rob
• Antonio Rodriguez - NFL football
• Paul Rodriguez Jr. - pro skater
• Diego Sanchez - UFC
• Mark Sanchez - NCAA, USC Football
• Brooke Staricha
• Danny Trejo
• Ted Williams - MLB (Hall of Famer)

Alexis Bledel

She is Mexican-American as well. I haven't found any interview confirming she is but it's in almost all sites about her. PMLF 17:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Iyari Limón

She was born in Guadalaraja, Mexico and is also Mexican-American. PMLF 17:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I found a source for Limon and I will add her. Mad Jack 23:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Victoria Wyndham

Her father, Ralph Camargo, stage actor and narrator of Firestone movie shorts from the 1940s and 1950s, is full Mexican (birth name Rafael Jaime Camargo), making her Mexican as well. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Listing: surname first?

An editor has recently changed the list of authors so that they are listed surname first, given name second. In the edit comment section, he or she wrote "last name first (EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE USE LAST NAME FIRST, FIX THE SECTION YOU ADD TO)." While the articles may be easier to alphabetize by surname when listed in this manner, this style is inconsistent with Wikipedia's standard of titling articles given name-first, as well as with other lists (see Lists of Irish-Americans, List of African Americans, and List of Russian Americans for a few examples. So, if nobody, objects, I'd like to restore the article to its previous state, as well as make a request that major changes (and stylistic changes such as the one made are major) be proposed on an article's talkpage prior to being enacted.--Rockero 07:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Merge from List of notable Chicanos

Somebody started this process last year. Discussion and support (now 10 months old) can be found at Talk:List of notable Chicanos. Pairadox 17:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Unless someone objects to this (or I get beaten to it), I shall merge in three days' time. -- Matthew Edwards 04:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Why wait? It's been pending for 10 months already...  :) Pairadox 04:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm just super cautious about these things. You never know who might get mad about it. If I have nothing else to do, I'll do it tomorrow -- Matthew Edwards 06:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment on December 21, 2010

Jimi Hendrix father was Black ( African American) his mother was some mix. That would make the majority of his ethnic background sub Saharan. Darkman1984 (talk) 21:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Louis C.K. is Mexican? Is this accurate?

Can someone please explain this. As far as I am aware he is an American born in Washington, D.C. also given the fact that he is White what proof is there that he is Mexican other then what is written in his Wikipedia page. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 03:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

In multiple interviews Louis C.K. has stated that his father was Jewish and his mother was Mexican and that he was in fact born and raised in Mexico during his early childhood.

Lists of names

Lists of names in this article should be sourced in accordance with WP:BLP. As there is no way of constantly maintaining linked articles, this applies to names which have a Wikipedia article as well as those that do not. Any name listed with no verifiable citations should be removed. Refer to WP:NLIST for guidance. Fæ (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Zuleyka Silver

Her article classifies her as "Mexican-American". So I think she should be listed here, instead of List of Brazilian Americans, where she is now listed. 82.141.126.42 (talk) 18:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Lorena Ochoa

Obvious omission — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.152.222 (talk) 23:05, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Oops, she is Mexican, not Mexican-American
