Population figures

[edit]

How can there be more Orcadians in Orkney (48,322) than in the world (apparently 20,000)? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 01:01, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FAIL

[edit]
  • This isn't an article. It is a list.
  • The list is not in any way rationalized (much less supported by references).
  • One or more authorities needs to be cited in order to justify all of the list's entries as somehow significant.
  • Are these the ONLY interesting Orcadians, lo these many centuries? Or are they the MOST interesting? Or (as the list might imply) are they the ONLY Orcadians?
  • The list ought to become a separate List of prominent Orcadians.
  • The remaining two sentences should either be turned into an actual WP article, or entirely deleted as insufficient for even a dictionary entry (of course: WINAD). Put up a map or historical outline or population figures or anything really.
