[edit] Foreign born

Dicdef. I don't really see anything to do with this at WP (the foreigner page, for instance, just has a link to Wiktionary). Note that the nominated revision is mine, the original was US-centric and I fixed that much regardless of the article's fate. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 17:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Revision looks great, thanks Marskell! — Lomn | Talk / RfC 13:13, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep and expand. Expatriate has an article and I don't see that this shouldn't. It could certainly be expanded to include more the than the dicdef. See for instance Second class citizen. Foreign born aren't necessarily foreigners incidentally. Marskell 17:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

    • Similar to above, foreign born are not necessarily aliens. I emigrate, I acquire citizenship—I am a foreign born citizen not an alien. Marskell 22:05, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Note Think it's saved now. Marskell 22:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article is now beyond a dictdef and the general concept is notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 23:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - distinct concept, as one can be foreign born and yet not an alien. -- BD2412 talk 03:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep For USians, constitutional prohibition on foreign born presidents (not just aliens) makes this distinction extra-notable, and subject of debate, as with Gov Swartzenegger recently. Xoloz 05:31, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand, as per Marskell. Carioca 06:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand, as per Marskell --Apyule 07:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
