Just for the Record Selena and Gloria Estefan are no Spaniards! Selena was a Tex- Mex and Gloria is a Cuban. Also just for the record...one of the greatest Stars in America was herself a Spaniard.."RITA HAYWORTH" who's real name was Margarita Cansino.

Rita had Spanish parents but she was born in the US. I don't know if that cuts it. Mike H 16:05, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

Deleted David Bisbal (born 1979) from Singers. In fact, he is a singer and yes, he is a spainard, but I think he has no relevance despite his celebrity. That is because David Bisbal is a TV contestant from Operación Triunfo show (an American Idol look-alike show). So, compared with Montserrat Caballé, Plácido Domingo or Julio Iglesias, for example, he has little relevance.

• Wow, it's been a long time since OT, David Bisbal has certainly won a place of his own in the list of singers, methinks, whether you like his style or not.--RiseRover|^talk 17:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

What about to add Xavier Cugat to Musicians?

[edit] Don Pelayo a spaniard?

I would like everybody to consider if all the people died prior to 1516 (Formal unification of Spain) may be consider spaniards. I really don't think Don Pelayo ever thought of a unified Spain rather than to protect and defend his Astur Kingdom. The Trajan case is even worst... Does someone even doubt he would have himself be called ROMAN? Shouldn't all these people be erased from this page, or at least be specified their contemporary homeland? (e.g. Don Pelayo - Asturias; Trajan - Hispania). Regards, Maurice27 20:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You're right. But it happens the same in other lists. E.g. Lautaro is "Chilean", Atahualpa is "Peruvian", Moctezuma II is "Mexican", Abd-el-latif is "Iraqi", Al-Idrisi is "Moroccan", etc. Anyway, we can adopt the "Belgian solution" :). --Zaqarbal 00:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, that means there's a lot of work to do... ;) Maurice27 02:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I think Zaqarbal already found the right solution. As he points out, the "Belgian solution" seems a clever and accurate way of solving it. -- · Ravenloft · ^{· (talk) ·} 14:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
