Nationality

You'd better argue it out with lisa Nandy MP herself, then, because she seems proud to announce herself as being 'British-Asian'. Personally, I'd say Asian-British was more in keeping.

As for your 'undoing' and alteration of my edits, WHY? I only provided factual notes which were also verifiable.

And, whilst you won't have 'British-Asian' as Lisa's nationality, you see fit to add her to the wikipedia article entitled 'British-Asian Politicians'. Unbelievable! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 (talk) 12:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When there is such a country as "British Asia", and it's verified that Nandy is a citizen of that country, I'll be more than happy for the article to be altered accordingly. Categorising the subject as a British-Asian Politician merely states that she is British and of Asian ethnicity.

As for my tweaking your edits, it is the case that A) at least one of your edits unbalanced the article (IMO), B) you screwed up the citation formatting, & C) one or two more citations needed to be added just to fully verify the statements you added. So I took action. --Ibn (talk) 13:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would gladly provide a hundred citations, however, I would only be accused of overloading the article.

Lisa Nandy refers to herself as being British-Asian. Several articles on the web refer to British-Asian nationality. Why do you deny this? It's verifiable FACT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 (talk) 13:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Get hold of a map of the world and point out the country of British Asia to me. --Ibn (talk) 13:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Where does it state that "British Asian" is a nationality? --Ibn (talk) 13:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will agree to disagree on Nationality. British Asian is, however, a descriptive terminology so I have added the term to her description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 (talk) 13:22, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, that seems to pass Wikipedia:MOSBIO#Opening paragraph. --Ibn (talk) 13:31, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The easy solution seems to me that you simply mention what makes her notable in the Opening Paragraph. This leaves her nationality well established, and also includes her "British Asian"ness.Koncorde (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only a British National can become an MP in the British Government. Lisa Nandy is a British National, of Asian descent. She's not Asian. However, Asian Media like to point out her Asian descent. She is regarded as being British-Asian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 (talk) 01:06, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So by your own admittance - she is British. However her extraction is notable for the purpose of being inclusive in a defined ethnic group. Do you have any citations for classing herself as "British Asian" rather than "British"?Koncorde (talk) 10:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LabourList

As I have reason to believe there may be as many as two other people now watching this article, I thought I'd ask for input on the reliability of LabourList as a source. This post, attributed to Lisa Nandy, claims she is to be vice-chair of the Communities and Local Government backbench committee. --Ibn (talk) 16:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
