Talk:Lebanese Americans

message: Just opened the article. People who are of Lebanese American ancestry are more than invited to further expand this stub, and write down the history of their community. --Aleverde 22:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article added, participation needed

message: They are 2% of the American population?? That's 6 Millions! Much more than the whole population of Lebanon today! I do believe they are many, but that's far too many!!
:It says .2%, not 2%. This should be sourced, however.--Cúchullain t/c 19:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Percentage of U.S. population

message: Some one keeps editing this page to say most Lebanese Americans are Muslims. INCORRECT. There are several sources posted that say Christians are the vast majority. The Census and Arab American Institute also claim Christians to be the vast majority.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AngryApology22 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Spy Kids Alexander Minion.JPG

message: Recent discussions on the articles for Rima Fakih and Julie Hayek would seem to call into question the inclusion of this article in the :Category:American people of Arab descent. While some of the comments in those discussions may have represented synthesis or original research as far as the individual articles concerned, an underlying issue seems relevant to this article. The CIA Factbook page on Lebanon, while itself classifying the population as 95% Arab, notes that "many Christian Lebanese do not identify themselves as Arab but rather as descendants of the ancient Canaanites and prefer to be called Phoenicians". Another source cited in those discussions and this article say that a substantial majority of Lebanese Americans are Christian; following the CIA wording, "many" of these would not identify as being Arab. Based on this, it seems the automatic categorization of Lebanese Americans as Arab Americans would be an improper violation of the principle of allowing self-identification. Shouldn't this article – and related Lebanese-specific categories – be removed from the "Arab descent" category as being an unjustifiably broad assumption? Fat&Happy (talk) 20:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Both of Casey Kasem's parents are Lebanese Druze, making him one of the most famous Lebanese-Americans. He should be in the infobox. DavidSSabb (talk) 11:36, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The designation Arab American is not shared by all Lebanese, it is more neutral to say originate from Arab-speaking countries.  For instance Copts in Egypt speak Arabic but completely reject the designation Arab, so do most Lebanese Christians. See sources in PhoenicianismAbuArz (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
