Michael Vartan - not really clear if it's his grandfather or great-grandfather who was Armenian. But in any case, he calls himself a "Polish Jew". JackO'Lantern19:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I don't even think Sufjan is an Armenian name. I think that it is most likely Arabic. It is purported to from Abu Sufjan Muhammad, who was supposedly some Sufi warrior (which doesn't make sense, because Armenians are Christian and would not have a name like Abu Sufjan Muhammad). Sufjan Steven said that Abu Sufjan Muhammad was an Armenian, which has led to the confusion.--Preservedmoose (talk) 17:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should clean this article up just like List of Armenians as that business section looks brutal w/ all those red links. It made List of Armenians go up for AFD so maybe we should cut this article down a little? - Fedayee04:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm gonna remove the red names, it seem like anybody with an internet connection added his uncles name to this list. VartanM03:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the red names, though, have turned to blue, or are red because of mispellings or leaving out a middle initial. I would say, leave the red names in the talk section and do a Wikipedia search first and then a Google search and if something notable shows up, then start an article on them. If nothing shows up, then delete them completely. clariosophic21:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take a closer look when I find time. As for the red names turning blue, one of the reasons why I moved them here instead of deleting, was my hope that gradually the articles would be created. So I guess my theory kind of worked :) I moved them back to the list. --VartanM00:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
INCLUSION REQUIREMENTS: If they aren't notable enough to have an article here at Wikipedia, they aren't likely eligible for inclusion here. Only include those with articles, so write the article first. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion or advertising. If their notability can be established by very solid references, then that may suffice to justify inclusion.clariosophic22:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about this particular person, but I believe you have written in several places that individuals must identify themselves as being from a particular ethnic or possibly national (country) group before that person can be added to a 'list of xx Americans'. I have seen some discussion on the BLP project talk page that did not indicate that self-identification was required by BLP and I have not seen any such requirement on the BLP project page or elsewhere. Where does the self-identification requirement exist? Thanks Hmains (talk) 20:52, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can imagine why one would be a redirect to the other, but instead they're two separate lists. They appear to have been forked by User:Bulldog123 on 20 April 2011 (see here and here).
Reverted the list to previous list version I managed. The list should only have entries that have articles to determine notability. DO NOT add aentries with no wikipedia articles. Furthermore:
DO NOT remove names from list without reason
DO NOT add Opinionated words such as icon, notable, famous, etc. Entries should have NPOV approach
DO NOT add American to blurb. They wouldn't be on a List of Armenian Americans if they weren't already American.
DO NOT add references. Articles will discuss subject's ancestry
DO NOT add fictional characters. Only living people!!
Please keep blurbs short. Main purpose of wikilink is to lead reader to subject's article
List subject only once on list under category that fits their notability.
I will revise the last unconstructive edit and see if I can incorprorate entries that do not appear on the list. Please keep list intact as it is until I can revise names.
