thread_title: Ethnicity lists discussion

message: I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Swiss" or "Swiss American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Swiss descent") is on the list. Here are the few people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a source that fits that please restore the names:
*Robert Abplanalp
*Rene Auberjonois
*Robert Baer
*Yul Brynner - also need proof that he is American
*Frank Carlucci
*James Caviezel
*Tracy Chevalier
*Billie Dove
*George Gallup
*Charles Wister Groff
*Ulysses Grant Groff
*Benjamin Guggenheim
*Jeff Hostetler
*Cyndi Lauper
*George Lucas
*Michelle Pfeiffer
*Don Piccard
*Rob Portman
*Kenneth A. Schmied
*Ryan Seacrest
*Meryl Streep
*Paul Westerberg
*Renée Zellweger
*Felix Zollicoffer

message: The sorting by occupation is difficult to do in a consistent way. 
Better to transform the entire thing into a single sortable table, with the following columns,
*name
*birth/death dates
*place of birth
*descent (partial/full Swiss descent or Swiss-born)
*occupation / description of notability
*reference in footnote
This way, the table can be sorted by name, date or descent and we don't need to rely on dubious categorizations like "arts and entertainment > other" etc.
