Definition of "sanjuaneros"

[edit]

I would suggest it's ludicrous to not consider people like Doña Fela, Sánchez Vilella and McClintock as "sanjuaneros" because they were not born in San Juan.

Doña Fela is a symbol of San Juan, emblematic of the hundreds of thousands of "sanjuaneros" born in towns around Puerto Rico who emigrated to San Juan.

Sánchez Vilella, who lived his whole adult life in San Juan and who served as the city's administrator , is likewise situated.

McClintock is a long-time "sanjuanero" who happened to be born in London while his father was serving the US armed forces, after moving from San Juan and returning to San Juan when his service was over.

May I suggest that a redefinition including people born in San Juan and long-time residents of San Juan is in order. Discussion? Pr4ever (talk) 01:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

I suggest that the introduction of this list be rephrased since there many names in it of people who were not "born" in San Juan even though they lived there most of their lives. The current introduction is misleading. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:47, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
