Talk:John Leguizamo

message: John Leguizamo filmography gives the complete list. Anything mentioned in the lead should be particularly notable as in works he got an award from, not just a random selection of some with explanation of why they are more important than any of the others.

thread_title:  Listing of works in lead 

message: Hi everyone. There was recently a dispute regarding the addition of "Colombian-born" in the lead. I cite two strong reasons why I see that it should not be added. Firstly, per Wikipedia guidelines on the format of biographies and their leads (as stated in WP:Ethnicity), place of birth, previous nationalities, and/or ethnicity should not be included in the lead unless directly relevant to the subject's notability. As someone who immigrated when he was a toddler to the United States, I think it is fair to say that his Colombian birth has little to do with his notability as an American comedian/actor/etc (considering he achieved all of his notability in the United States). Furthermore, he himself affirms his nationality as "American" in the following URL: https://www.npr.org/2017/04/12/523631629/actor-john-leguizamo-s-career-goal-to-give-latino-kids-their-own-heroes which is from an NPR interview transcript with the subject. I'd like to add this as a citation to the article and looked up the Wikipedia guidelines on this, but am slightly embarrassed to admit that I am new to adding citations and so am not sure how. I believe it is in the format below, but please correct me if I am wrong.
If you disagree and think that we should add "Colombian-born" to the lead, I'd like to know your reasons and see whether they comply with the Wikipedia regulations as stated in WP:Ethnicity. I would like to give people a chance to voice their opinions for the next few days. I hope we can reach a consensus.

replies: text: I concur. His birth location is irrelevant to his notability so mention of it is not appropriate for intro sentence. It was added by this edit, I reverted that restoring article to state it was stable as before that edit. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adding "Colombian-born" in the lead 

message: A correction: Leguizamo's DNA test results, as presented on Finding Your Roots, were not 3.1% North African, but 3.1% Middle Eastern / North African. Based on these results it is, thus, not impossible that he might have some Lebanese or Italian ancestry (contrary to the editorializing presented in the current version of the article). 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:43, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: DNA test results

message: For most of his career, Leguizamo’s birth year was listed as 1964. However, it seems that now, it is being listed as 1960. Which one is correct? 208.127.190.114 (talk) 21:09, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The current one with the latest source. Check it out. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:01, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth year 

message: Besides Finding Your Roots, are there other reliable sources that give 1960 as his birth year? I found one source but I’m not sure if it’s reliable.

text: I'm dubious about the reliability of the source and where it got the information. Current reference is reliable and is sufficient to support the information. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
