[edit] Merge proposal
They are both lists, so they should definitely be merged. Maybe the list should be subdivided by nationality?--Rockero 16:54, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- It refers to the United States Hispanics. There is already a list of Hispanics and also a list for each country. --Zaqarbal 18:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- This page needs major reconceptualization. What are we defining as Hispanic Americans? Those of hispanic descent born in america? those of hispanic descent in america? Or what? --Bfraga 21:25, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think it refers to Hispanic US citizens, whether they were born in USA or not. For example, Hispanic physicist Luis Álvarez was born in San Francisco (California). Isabel Allende was born in Chile but later became a USA naturalized citizen (American nationality). So both are Hispanic Americans. --Zaqarbal 19:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- The article should be titled: Notable Hispanics from the US. Since America is not just the USA but the entire continent. --ElChompiras
- I don't think both lists should be merged; one list refers only to Hispanics, the other one refers to American citizens of Hispanic ancestry, they are totally different from each other. --Luis Lema 18:26, 29 July 2006 (PST)

[edit] New lists
As I wrote in the List of Hispanics talk page, I edited a list of Latin Americans and a list of hispanophones. So now Notable Hispanics and List of Hispanics can be merged. But, to avoid confusions, I think it would be better to make redirections to a List of Hispanic Americans. --Zaqarbal 12:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- And well...? Any suggestions? --Zaqarbal 12:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title
I think it ought to be either List of Hispanic Americans or Notable Hispanic Americans, because "famous" is so subjective.--Rockero 21:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Notable works for me --Bfraga 23:39, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List
I'm going to remove all the people who are already under another list and then link to that list (no need to list twice). Mad Jack O'Lantern 02:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Julie Brown
I can't find anywhere on the web that Julie Brown has a hispanic ancestry. I think she should not be on the list. If anyone has that information, please post it.
[edit] The Arts
I created sub-categories for this section. Please feel free to reorder if you spot any mistakes. Morlesg 15:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
