Talk:Plastic Brit

GB olympic team does not represent only GB
Apart from the fact that the GB team is the team for the United Kingdom, of which GB is only a part, it is also the team for Anguilla, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, and Turks and Caicos Islands. It should be noted in the article that people from these places are not somehow feigning Britishness, but participate for an inadequately named team. Kevin McE (talk) 22:48, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Daily Mail cites
The fact of the Daily Mail using the term is established in RSes covering the issue - but the Mail's statements about living persons are a huge and obvious WP:BLP issue, and we absolutely should not be running the Mail's attacks on living people. This is precisely the sort of thing the Mail was deprecated for.

Fundamentally - if you're looking for excuses to use The Mail, you don't understand Wikipedia sourcing. And if you're doing it in the face of WP:BLP, you really need to understand that policy - David Gerard (talk) 12:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Notability
Is this subject really WP:NOTABLE? The term is not in common usage even in Britain, and has really only been used in shitstirring and borderline racist journalism by the Daily Mail. Ef80 (talk) 14:21, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I notice most of the refs are from 2012 at the time of the London Olympics, with outliers from 2011 and 2015. --Ef80 (talk) 14:33, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
