[edit] Ethnicity lists discussion

Please see discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) for current discussion of a potential policy to apply to all ethnicity lists on Wikipedia, including this one. JackO'Lantern 20:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Jamaican" or "Jamaican-American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Jamaican descent", "Jamaican mother", etc.) is on the list. Here are the few people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a reliable source that fits that please restore the names:

• Shari Belafonte
• Heavy D & the Boyz
• The Notorious B.I.G.
• Louis Farrakhan - Nation of Islam leader
• Styles P
• Busta Rhymes
