This is a draft of a potential RfC, please only comment on it on the talk page and not the subject it is to cover

RfC
Created following discussion at the teahouse and ANI as the discussions there do not currently appear to be productive. Discussion of the RfC creation and signposting can be seen at User talk:Shaws username/sandbox

RfC on the use of Cornish identity in biography leads:


 * Option 1: When reliable sources describe an individual as Cornish, should the lead sentence describe them as Cornish when appropriate as outlined in MOS:CONTEXTBIO footnote a, as is sometimes done for English, Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish people.
 * Option 2: Refer them only as British or English, as is done for English people

or


 * Should Cornish be included in MOS:CONTEXTBIO footnote a?
 * "There is no categorical preference between describing a person as British rather than as English, Scottish, or Welsh. Decisions on which label to use should be determined through discussions and consensus. The label must not be changed arbitrarily. To come to a consensus, editors should consider how reliable sources refer to the subject, particularly UK reliable sources, and whether the subject has a preferred nationality by which they identify."

Please limit comments in survey to comments only on the RfC, and discussion to the discussion section.
