Good Article Nomination

Hey all. I'm adding the Good Article nomination template to this article in the hopes that we can begin the process of getting this page's status reimposed since it's removal. This article has seen great improvement since it's good article status has been revoked more than a decade ago, including the streamlining of the introduction and the editing of some lines in the page that previously failed NPOV. I think it's fair to have this page reexamined, especially considering the extensive work of previous editors and the enduring notability of the page's subject.

Freddie's Nationality

Thanks for your response. Ireland, Scotland and Wales are their own countries. Freddie relocated to England as opposed to any of the other countries in the British Isles. Presumably, he had a British passport per his band-mates and yet despite his relocation to and entire residence in the UK being in England- he is referred to as British (on wiki page) as opposed to English, whereas his bandmates are referred to as English. There are many people in England that are born overseas but at an early age relocated and lived their lives in England and subsequently refer to themselves as English- the same goes for persons from a young age living in Ireland referring to themselves as Irish and similarly Scottish for those in Scotland.

Why does it matter where Freddie was born? Why is he referred to as British and not English? The differentiation made between him and his band-mates re him being termed a British singer versus them (band mates) being English singers is questionable. 77.97.57.136 (talk) 20:33, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
