Is there any particular reason this is a separate article from Basque people rather than part of that article? Just asking. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:03, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Really,...not. There is no special reason to write a separate article and is partially -political- biased when says "The Basques do not have an independent country to call their own, being divided between the Spanish and French states." In the spanish side, the land of the basques is called "Basque Country", and, in fact, not all basques consider that Spain or France can't be called their own (not numbers). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.58.34.170 (talk • contribs) 13 Nov 2005.

I agree...this could easily be added to the Basque people page and would clean things up a bit... -Akiora 18:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, this should be merged to Basque people Rlevse 20:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I support the merger. Many ethnic group articles have a separate section for diaspora populations. //Big Adamsky 00:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

This article is factually untrue. According to the most recent census the largest Basque population in the United States is in Boise, Idaho. It has 20,000 Basque residences. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.255.182.201 (talk • contribs) 19 Dec 2005.

This is addressed, although the source I have states the Boise Basque population is 15,000. --Faustus37 18:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Has this been merged?

Has this all been merged to Basque people, in which case this can turn into a redirect? Or are we still waiting for someone to do that? -- Jmabel | Talk 01:27, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think the articles should be merged, since Basque people is quite a large article as it is. --Vizcarra 01:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prominent members of the Basque diaspora

It would be very helpful if a list of prominent members of the Basque diaspora could be created. Any takers? Godzilla Awoken 21:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
