This seems a better candidate for a Dictionary--Tydaj 17:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Sweetfreek 22:45, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I disagree, there is much more that could be written on this. Not a candidate for a dictionary.
It still looks like a dictionary entry to me, and it's a over year since Tydaj's comment. Dancarney 10:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stanley Kubrick

"And although he never confessed to being an anglophile it can be claimed that Stanley Kubrick was a noted one." - could somebody please add some justification for this claim? --Idont Havaname 17:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Examples of Anglophiles - references? or just an editor's POV?

Have the people on our unofficial "list of Anglophiles" actually said that they are Anglophiles, or is that just POV interpretations? Please give references. Also, is it necessary to have a list? Asiaphile doesn't have any such list. --Idont Havaname 23:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Celts/Irish

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a "Celtophile" (or something to that effect)? Obviosly it wouldn't be "Celtophile" but someone who loves Ireland would be called what? Lady Eowyn

"celtophile": 27,000 Google hits
"hibernophile": 260 Google hits (the top hit is Wikipedia) - 12 Feb 2006


Does Anglophile also refer to those who like all of Great Britain in general? 71.136.240.129 23:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sources

Is there a source for any of this or does any American celebrity who moves to London qualify as an Anglophile?

Why not? According to Wikipedia any of the following qualifies one as "Irish-American":
  • has what sounds like or is believed to be an Irish surname
  • is or may be Catholic
  • has green eyes or red hair - or even better, both
  • has drunk Guinness and (pretended?) to like it
  • has been spotted wearing green on or around 17 March
  • is actually British but is too popular to dislike or disregard
  • once played an Irish or Irish-American character in film, a play, or on television
  • is famous, popular and successful in their chosen field
  • cannot be associated with any other ethnic group, so must be Irish - because everyone is, aren't they!?!
oh yeah, and:
  • has one or more Irish parents or grandparents (not essential)
  • has actually claimed Irish ancestry (totally irrelevant)

Fergie from the black eyed peas is also an anglophile

[edit] Tarantino?

Why is Quentin Tarantino an anglophile? Watching his films, I don't see any influence or connection. Even in his private life there is, as far as I can tell, nothing especially english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.133.218.198 (talk) 09:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

I deleted Tarantino from the list. I have no idea why anyone would say he's an anglophile. -Wutschwlllm 11:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
