This Talk page is for discussions on improving the article "List of Icelanders", not for other purposes such as getting in touch with people. I'm sure there are appropriate websites for this purpose. Cheers, Jacklee 00:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Subdivision of "Arts and culture" section

I've made "Musical bands and groups" a subsection of "Arts and culture". Someone may want to divide up the rest of "Arts and culture" into separate subsections, such as "Actors", "Artists", "Musicians", "Writers and poets", and so on. Cheers, Jacklee 00:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

If an icelander's father is unknown....

...what would be the baby's last name? Can you be called "Annason" instead of "Peterson"?Chrisrus (talk) 15:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Notability

I am wondering what notable achievements means someone can be added to this list, as I'm sure editors know Birgirpall has been added a few times recently but only to be removed, I don't see why his work is any less notable than any other directors, it his his job, he's extremely famous in the YouTube scene, and as a general internet figure, he's "Officially earned celebrity status" after being interviewed by a large amount of Icelandic news sites, and his work is of an extremely high quality. Does he have to gain a certain level of fame before he can be noted? Will having his own Wiki page stating all of this make a difference? After all he's said to be one of Icelands most famous now even though he hasn't even been uploading for 6 months yet, and he is still on his way up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgrech1997 (talk • contribs) 06:57, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Grandiose claims without any sources and without a corresponding article do nothing to establish WP:notability. We need to show that they have received significant coverage in WP:reliable sources - and this would usually mean they would already have their own article. noq (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I think of most wikipedia lists such as this as being a list of whatever who have articles about them on wikipedia. If their link shows up red rather than blue, then they will be removed. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 13:47, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I removed

"*Steinunn Thorarinsdottir" from the sculptors section. She is the only non-blue link on the list. IF she is significant without having an article about her that needs to be mentioned after her name. Carptrash (talk) 17:34, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@Carptrash: I've put it back – she has an article, but it wasn't linked. Graham87 09:59, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
