Talk:List of Cypriots

Redlinks repository
I am moving here all redlinks from the list. People not notable enough to have had their own article (and survived an AFD) aren't fit for such a list, especially since a reader couldn't learn anything from a redlink. Feel free to move them back to the list when they turn blue – but please be sure to check first that the target article is indeed the right person, not an homonym. &mdash; Komusou talk @ 21:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Scope of list
I removed some entries for people who are not obviously of Cypriot citizenship or nationality. I think the list should be limited and not include Cypriot Americans/Brits/Australian, etc. There are separate articles for British Cypriots and Cypriot American, and surely articles could be created for Cypriot Australians and Canadians, and so on. There is a difference between being Cypriot and being of Cypriot ethnicity, and I don't think they should be conflated. ... disco spinster   talk  12:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
