Who should be included in this list?

From the list title, it's fairly clear that classical composers born and living in England should be included. But what about:

Composers born in other countries who became permanent residents of England? Do they have to be British citizens as well? I think long-term residence should be enough. (I note Pepusch is already in the list; Handel surely should be in too).
Composers originating in and living in other parts of the UK (eg Scotland, Wales)? Logically these are not English - though, depending when they lived, they may be British. (In which case people like Robert Carver should be excluded). Alternatively we could have a British list, perhaps with national subsections.
Composers born in England, living as expats? Personally I think they should all go in - even if they became citizens somewhere else. However some kind of footnotes or labels might help.

Split Modern/Contemporary

The listing for "Modern/Contemporary" is VERY long and makes no sense, aesthetically. It could easily be split up into (at least) people whose careers took place mainly before 1950 and those after. Possible headings could be "Early 20th century" and "Late 20th century", and then perhaps add another section "21st century" for people born after c.1980. – Aklein62 (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
