Galician

[edit]

In the same way that happens with famous people of the different nationalities that constitute the United Kingdom, I think with the different nationalities (Galicia, Euskadi, Catalonia) that constitute Spain, the same should be done. Thus following articles such as Ewan Mcgregor[1] or Gerard Butler[2] that are defined as Scots, Ana Peleteiro should appear as a Galician for a better specification (understanding that "Galician" constitutes at the same time "Spanish").SsNewHouses (talk) 00:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The UK is different from any other country in this respect, which has lead to having a Wikipedia essay dedicated to the question of nationalities there; it cannot be extrapolated to anywhere else. Besides, Peleteiro competes internationally for Spain, and the Manual of Style (MOS:FIRSTBIO) states clearly that the opening paragraph must state, among other things, "Context (location, nationality, etc.) for the activities that made the person notable", and, talking about nationality, it later clarifies that "in most modern-day cases, this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is a citizen, national, or permanent resident". Since Peleteiro is a Spanish citizen who competes for Spain, her nationality is clearly Spanish for the purposes of Wikipedia.--Gorpik (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
