Talk:List of Bulgarians

thread_title:  Never heard of any of them 

message: This is a key example of how classifying someone as a "Bulgarian" businessperson is going to be hard.  The source never calls him "Bulgarian".  It says he was born in Macedonia and raised in Bulgaria.  He didn't go into business until after moving to Canada.  Seems like a Canadian businessman to me.  -- Selket Talk 21:42, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Given the introduction of Silvena Rowe, I feel I'm forced to ask what the inclusion criteria of this list are.  Is it born in Bulgaria?  Is it became famous in Bulgaria?  Is it have some part of Bulgarian ancestry?  If so, how much is enough?  The source for Silvena Rowe's inclusion on the list says she's lived in London for 25 years.  Her restaurant is in London.  Her TV show is on BBC.  It seems to me like she's a British chef originally from Bulgaria.  The criteria need to be tightened.  -- Selket Talk 21:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The point of these lists is to index notable people, i.e., article subjects, and nationality is one of the most basic classifications used on Wikipedia and always has been. Occupation is another. People do move around, and people take up and drop professions, and these lists (nor the parallel categories) aren't limited only to where people end up or where they are currently. Speaking as a current expat (and my wife is an expat from yet another country), I know personally that answering "where are you from?" can get complicated.  I can tell you my Canadian wife would object to being known anything as other than a Canadian professor, even though she has never actually taught in Canada.  She went to school in the U.S. but was never an American student.  Is being raised in Bulgaria enough to merit inclusion in this list? Most editors would probably say so, and most editors would also say that including him thus is not the equivalent of asserting that he was a businessman in Bulgaria.  That these matters can be complicated (most are not) is certainly not reason to run amok with your blanking stick, but to take the time to discuss and research them, and then decide how best to represent the information. Complications and caveats are what annotations are for.  But these questions are larger than just this list obviously.  They come up regularly with all such lists and categories, and generally the consensus is for a broad inclusion so as to link relevant topics rather than draw a narrow classification.  postdlf (talk) 22:05, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
