French, Belgian etc. Way too early
[edit]I have found people who died in the 8th-century described as French or Belgian. I think this is incorrect. Anyone that early on is probably best described as Franckish. France and Germany do not become clear distinct polities until after Charlemagne. So using those terms in the 8th century, before his crowning in 800 makes no sense at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:53, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
9th-century people
[edit]I think we should create 9th-century Frankish people as a category, and get rid of 9th-century German people and 9th-century French people. In 800 there was one Frankish Empire, ruled by Charlemagne. I do not think it makes sense to speak of people as being French or German in a meaningful way before 900.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:24, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- We have articles like Hucbert, someone who died in the 860s, where the subject is being describe as "a Frank". I do not think it makes sense to impose modern terms before 900 in the area that was the Frankish Empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
Guy Porter (athlete)
[edit]Guy Porter (athlete) is an article that mentions one thing. That he was in a marathon that he did not complete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
