The list of films that accompanies each actor is cruft-bait. What is the purpose? To help readers identify the child actor? If it's solely for identification, then why does well-known actor Christian Bale need 30 examples under his name? Will we confuse him for someone else if we just wrote The Dark Knight Returns? The list has obviously gotten out of hand.
And as with typical lists of this kind, names with no biographical article should be removed. We don't wish to encourage the addition of names unless notability had been properly established in an article. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

– To apply a demonym as with the recent RM for List of American former child actors. I moved all the other entries in Category:Lists of child actors by nationality, but these seem trickier, so I am submitting an RM for them. Is it OK to identify everyone from the UK as "British"? Is there a need to consider that "Indian" might be ambiguous? Is "New Zealander" appropriate? Can everyone in the Netherlands be considered "Dutch"? — BarrelProof ( talk) 05:44, 5 December 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 12:28, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
"I don't think the proposed form takes any clear stance about ethnicity or citizenship either."Well, yeah, that's part of my argument, actually, that the article title is vague, leading readers to have to speculate as to whether we mean Indian/Italian/Thai by ethnicity, citizenship, or by birth place. That's three elements of ambiguity. And your proposal that we add supplementary comments to clarify what we mean seems like a lot of work when we can just simplify the scope of the list article.
