message: I was reading the article of Reggie Fils-Aimé and it claims he is Haitian. Yet he has straight hair, fairly light light skin, and white features 75.6.142.248 (talk) 10:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are most Haitian immigrants black? 

message: Look at the source [1] and go to "Haitian Population in the US" and it breaks down how many are American born, naturalized, and who are residents. This doesn't give an estimate on illegal though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.21.144 (talk) 02:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source for 2,023,000 Haitians in America 

message: Perhaps a compromise is in order. How about "Haitian Americans are Americans of Haitian heritage or Haitian-born people who have become naturalized citizens of the United States of America." Seems to me that that might work. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 22:22, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

text: That is an excellent question. In general, are there reliably sourced definitions for this sort of thing? I seriously doubt that. Either way, whether or not a precise and acceptable definition exists, for tagging people as Haitian-American (or anything-else-American) we should not be looking at the precision of wikipedia's definition, but rather whether reliable sources identify the person as being Haitian-American. It is much easier, I think, to do that, than it is to find a reliably sourced definition of the concept. Or, to give an extreme example, if The New York Times decides that Nancy Pelosi is Haitian-American, then wikipedia will say so as well :). --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 15:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition 

message: Deleted the top 100 communities for Haitian population; this seems excessive and out of balance in relation to their population in the US. People could make a separate list page if they really want this information but it seems like TMI, to what end? Parkwells (talk) 17:41, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this change. Maybe even 25 may be suffice. Haven't done enough comparing myself but looked at a few articles and it seeks consistent. Savvyjack23 (talk) 20:19, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article already has the top 10 cities and the top 36 communities for people of Haitian descent. That should be enough. Parkwells (talk) 00:50, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Delete 100 communities

message: I am interested in possibly adding more information to this article using scholarly sources to bulk up each section. Any advice on where to look for more information is welcomed. I have already listed some possible references on my User page. Ijwilliams (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additions to Article 

message: I'm not looking to personally get involved in a project to change statistics or do any research  at this time, but a lot of the statistics in this article are way out of date, and are sourced using archive links that are not online anymore, with some of them going back to 2004, without mentioning this in the article. These statistics are super inaccurate as of 2023. I would like to raise the alarm on this in case someone reads this and is inclined to research and fix this data. Thank you in advance!
