Talk:List of people with Basque ancestors

Purpose of this list
This list was created as part of the cleanup of the List of Basques page which contained many people that by no encyclopaedieas standard qualified for ethnicity X. This page was created to allow a collection of notable people to be listed who have ethnic Basque ancestry. The general guidelines, apart from Wikipedia's normal guidelines, were discussed at Talk:List of Basques. The modus operandi on this page (to date) is that only people whose Basque ancestry can be verified by some source are included. That may well exclude (at the moment) a number of people who ought to be on the list but it keeps the list from turning into to same mess the List of Basques page was in. So please provide sources. Having a Basque surname is not sufficient proof, as it was agreed on various talk pages. Please adhere to that or discuss it on the talk page in a calm fashion. Until such a point as new rules are agreed, I will continue to watch this page and revert any unverified inclusions. Akerbeltz (talk) 12:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
