Category:Anglo-Nunavummiut

Please don't add people to that category without a source. I don't think that many Inuit would like the designation and I've never heard any non-Inuk refer to themselves as that. In all it is a WP:BLP violation. The highly esteemed CBW presents the Talk Page! 22:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The other problem is that several of the people you added are English speaking but not of English descent. The highly esteemed CBW presents the Talk Page! 22:26, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was Anglo-Nunavoise taken from a French website somewhere? It looks like it had been partly translated from French (even had a "unreferenced|abril" tag on it), and not completely finished. I deleted some of the content but only because I couldnt figure out what it was supposed to say and there doesnt seem to be any corresponding article on the French Wikipedia right now. —Soap— 01:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, Abril is Spanish isnt it. —Soap— 01:48, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add real sources to demonstrate that there's actually a community in Nunavut that actually identifies with the appelation "Anglo-Nunavoise". It's not sufficient to create a list of people from Nunavut who happen to have English-sounding names; we require actual sources to demonstrate that there's actually a significant and self-identified "Anglo-Nunavut" community for us to write about, and sources to demonstrate that the people you want to add to the list actually identify with it.

For example, we have Anglo-Quebecer because there's an actual community of anglophones in Quebec who specifically identify as "Anglo-Quebecers"; we have Franco-Ontarian because there's an actual community in Ontario that actually identifies itself that way. But that doesn't mean we necessarily need to create "anglo" and "franco" lists and categories for every individual province and territory in Canada — they're only warranted if the terms can be properly sourced as being in actual use by the community themselves.

As well, much of the content you were adding to the article simply doesn't make any sense anyway: "In Nunavut, no one English in nunavut founded one plebeian of anglo-nunavoise flag, all as the francophones flag of everywhere en provincials and territory of Canada"? "The station of television anglophone east only dont what CFFB-TV (CBC) au Canal 8 (Iqaluit)"? Those sentences don't even scan as good French, let alone good English.

While we're at it, what's your source for claiming Willard Phelps as either Franco-Columbian or Franco-Yukonnais? We can't make unsourced claims about people's ethnicity; you need to add a source which explicitly states that he's of French descent. Bearcat (talk) 22:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
