Intro The current Lead needs improvement This is a suggestion based on MOS Lead and selection criteria This is a list of Welsh people an ethnic group and nation associated with Wales Historian John Davies argues that the origin of the Welsh nation can be traced to the late 4th and early 5th centuries following the Roman departure from Britain although Brythonic Celtic languages seem to have been spoken in Wales far longer This list is for people of Welsh heritage and descent and for people otherwise considered to be Welsh either through birth or adoption Only those meeting notability criteria are included on this list Any comments suggestions for improvement please
