Category talk:Irish people of English descent

Inclusion in this category
Given that: I have brought this cat into line with all the others. If there is a reason England should be unique in this regard, then, of course, this could be reconsidered. Rockpock e  t  22:55, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * All the other subcats of Category:Irish people by ethnic or national origin do not explicitly require individuals included to be "citizens of The Republic of Ireland",
 * Other X people of Y descent cats do not explicitly require individuals included to be citizens of X
 * There is a strong consensus that Irish people should refer to those of that island, not only those of one of the modern states of that island.
 * And I have brought it inline with Category:English people of Irish descent in such as only people who havestated their origin are added. BigDunc  11:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree with that change, BigDunc. (Although it wouldn't keep Pearse out of the category - he discusses his English heritage in "My Childhood") Irvine22 (talk) 19:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Dunc's change essentially comes down to WP:V, which goes without saying really, but I don't have a problem with stating it. Rockpock  e  t  20:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

This category (and similiar ones) should be deleted. GoodDay (talk) 17:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree that they should be deleted. They should continue and be applied to people who clearly fit into them. Irvine22 (talk) 19:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:CfD is that way, GD. Rockpock  e  t  20:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I told him that today. I would endorse deletion. BigDunc  20:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * As would I, though I doubt that would be the consensus. Rockpock  e  t  20:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have to abort my plans. I found the CfD page, but I don't understand the mechanics behind setting this up. I've never nominated anything for deletion before. GoodDay (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This category is a joke. Tubridy, I am sure, has French ancestry and much else - much like most people in Ireland. Where does it end; when we have [insert nationality] of African descent and every human in the planet is in it? 86.44.57.55 (talk) 00:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
