Only a handful of PR legislators have served in both chambers. Her election today puts her in that select group.
At-large legislators usually have a relatively easy elrection process, virtually never competing head-to-head and never really having competitors. Ten or twelve aspirants may compete in a primary for six party nominations. A party candidate will then be one of thirteen general election at-large candidates (6 NPP, 6 PDP, and 1 PIP), of which eleven (all but 2 candidates) will be elected. Romero-Donnelly, on the other hand, won a head-to-head competition in today's vote, against a more moderate male candidate, a quite notable feat. Pr4ever ( talk) 23:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
I scanned all the list, clicked on appropriate categories and did not find Pedro Albizu Campos on any of the lists of famous Puerto Ricans. Why not? I understand the list is not complete, but to overlook one of the most important people in recent Puerto Rican history, someone who gave his life for the Puerto Rican people, is a grave mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.31.30 ( talk) 14:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

That is absolute nonsense. If they are not notable then why do they have their own pages on wikipedia? Surely it is contradictory to have a dedicated Gina Lynn page but not have her included in this list. If she is not notable then she should not be on wikipedia here full stop. Also, are you certain that no other 'list of notable nationals' contains porn or reality TV stars?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.148.6 ( talk) 18:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Hes graduated as an Agricultural Education Teacher from Penn State on June 2007 and is current working with Toyota Corporation in New York City.

why people who are not Puerto Rican but may have livedor were born there to non-Puerto Rican people are included on this list. That makes no sense to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.175.62.19 ( talk) 21:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
As to a person being born in Puerto Rico to non-Puerto Rican parents. If you learn a little about Puerto Rican history you will realize that your question makes little sense since most of our "Illustre Boricuas" were born to Spanish/African/Corsican/French/Irsih/German, etc. parents or simply said non-Puerto Rican parents.
People born in Puerto Rico automatically have dual nationality: Puerto Rican and American. Puerto Rico follows the Jus soli law (the right of the soil or the land) meaning that one’s nationality is determined by the place of one's birth.
Therefore, a person such as Joaquin Phoenix is Puerto Rican and American due to the fact that he was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
History of Puerto Rican Nationality
On October 25, 2006, the Puerto Rican State Department declared the existence of the Puerto Rican nationality (see: Juan Mari Bras). Puerto Rican nationality was recognized in 1898 after Spain ceded the island to the United States as a result of the Spanish-American War. On April 12, 1900, the Congress of the United States enacted the Foraker Act of 1900. Section VII of this act created a Puerto Rican citizenship for the residents "born in Puerto Rico and, therefore, subject to its jurisdiction". [1] In 1917, the United States granted Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship without the requirement that the islanders renounce their PR citizenship. Since then, everyone born in Puerto Rico are both Puerto Ricans and U.S. citizens. However, in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican do not enjoy full U.S. citizenship rights because their rights as such are limited (For example: they can not vote in the Presidential elections). Puerto Ricans do not need to renounce either of the citizenships and do not need a passport to go to the continental United States and once there can participate in every activity as every other U.S. citizen. [2] [3]
There is a common misconception that all Puerto Ricans are of Hispanic background. The confusion stems from people automatically associating the term 'Puerto Rican' (nationality) with the term 'Hispanic' (ethnicity). Even though the primary ethnicity in Puerto Rico is Hispanic, [4] there are numerous other ethnic groups which make up the Puerto Rican nationality. There are many Puerto Ricans of African, Corsican, French, Irish, German, Chinese, Dutch, Lebanese and of Jewish descent, among others. [5]
Laws Concerning Citizenship/Nationality
The modern world is divided up into nations with each nation, at least nominally, exercising control over its own territory and the people who reside within that territory. Among modern nations, citizenship at birth is conveyed in one of two ways; either though Jus soli (the right of the soil or the land) meaning that one’s nationality is determined by the place of one's birth; or through jus sanguinis (the right of blood) where nationality is determined by the nationality of one's descent (parents). Birthright citizenship is the term used for Jus soli as it is applied under US law. [6]

New addition to List of Puerto Ricans. Augusto Rodriguez
I quote from an article printed Feb 8 2004 by Maximo Cerame Vivas, a noted Puerto Rican author.
Augusto was a Puerto Rican musician, educator, director of the Puerto Rican Philharmonic (1932-35), band leader of Midnight Serenaders a 1930 popular band. Founder of the Hebrew Festival Chorus of San Juan's Jewish Community, guest conductor of the Coro Radio Nacional de Espana, pianist, and composer. Augusto was the first president of Puerto Rico's Musicians Association and first director of the Chorus of the Conservatory of Music. Founder of the "Coro de La Universidad de Puerto Rico" (University of Puerto Rico Chorus)in 1936. PR poet Jose Anotnio Davila "extolled the magic Augusto could extract from voices with his hands and gestures". Notables Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, the King & Queen of Belgium, the King of Bulgaria, and Francis Cardinal Spellman were entertained by his choruses. His choruses have produced musicians such as Tito Lara, Pablo Elvira, Justino Diaz, Darysabel Isales, Edgardo Gierbolini, Raul Julia, and many others. Many more examples of his work and excellence are noted in "Las Espigas del Sembrador: Un tributo a la memoria de Augusto Rodríguez ... By Francisco O'Neill Susoni 2006. This man was a child prodigy, composing songs at an early age.
The University of Puerto Rico Chorus at the time was the "first secular, a cappella organization in the history of Puerto Rico. Its cultural effect in that island has been such that now half the high schools in Puerto Rico have their own a cappella choruses."

I believe that in the list of famous Puerto Rican we are missing a lot of artists that has not only influenced our current times but our past as well. I am very dissapointed that I have not seen any mention in the list of Maria Esther Perez Felix from the Duo Perez Rodriguez, who also sang with the Damiselas with Sylvia Rexach and Los Cuatro Ases. You can visit the website www.prpop.com and see how much of an influence to the music industry she was. I hope I can see her name included since she is my aunt.

Glam rock and metal singer, guitar player. Considered one of the unsung heroes of rock and one of the best guitarists out there. Formed a band called Simply Slang back in 2003 they toured in Europe and South America and kickstarted the sleaze rock movement. Had a hit single on a Hollywood compilation album Glamnation Vol 2 and critics around the world agreed it was one of most notable tracks on the album. It was all over the radio in 2007. The first and only Puerto Rican glam rock singer known to anyone that alone is notable. Produces music with house legend Farley Keith aka Farley Jackmaster Funk and I heard Elton John wanted him to tour playing guitar for him. He's headlined big arenas with major artists but he is real shy about it. Considered a who who in Chicago (Sun Times website centerstage.com says so) and he's been on tv too on late night talk show. And he played the lead in a short movie I don't remember the name though. I think he should have his own page too, I met him and talked to him he doesn't want one he is shy. But as a boricua I think he deserves his props and if people like llyod banks (who aint even boricua) are on it he should too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.137.232 ( talk) 07:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

On June 10, 2011, Alberto Leguizamo, John's father, declared in an interview published in a New York Hispanic newspaper "El Diaro Newspaper", that he (the father) was not Puerto Rican, that he is Colombian and therefore his son (John) had lied and was not half Puerto Rican as he has always stated. [1] John Leguizamo had always declared that he was Puerto Rican on his father's side which was one of the reasons that he was selected as the Puerto Rican Day Parade Ambassador. A spokesman for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade has stated that Leguizamo would not be stripped of his ambassadorship. [1]
After a week, Leguizamo has not made a public statement to this matter.

If dozens or hundreds of lists are also guilty of having ambiguous titles then I would suggest that they all get renamed. Adding "notable" or "distinguished" to the title is redundant, it is an accurate representation of what the article's content is. Without the adjective, the name is too ambiguous to the common reader. ANd notability isn't and shouldn't be assumed. It isn't bizarre to find lists where some of the article content isn't notable enough for their own article. This is because WP:N judges who gets an article, but in no way does it judge the article content itself. So by stating that the members of this list are in fact notable by WP:N's standards actually helps the article by narrowing its scope. Feed back ☎ 21:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Please add Dr. Eduardo Obregon Pagan to this list of Puerto Ricans on Wikipedia. He is a TV Show Host, Author and Historian. He is a host for the PBS show "History Detectives" and his lineage is located in a video Fan Q & A: Eduardo--Eduardo fields your questions. This can be located on the History Detectives website under the section "ABOUT". Dr. Pagan talks about his lineage on his father's side and that his grandfather (Juan Irizarry Pagan) is from Puerto Rico. Thanks. Oh, he does speak Spanish, however, being raised in Arizona, his Spanish is not as fast as our cousins from Guayanilla.

Hi, I understand that I am not the one to make the decision, but my suggestion is to list Dr. Pagan as a tv show host; it is what he gets recognized for the most. Oh, he also helped create the PBS documentary "Zoot Suit Riots" narrated by Hector Elizondo. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mopcambm ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you JNorton for agreeing to add my brother's name to this site; however, I have been up and down the list and I don't see him. Is it just me, or is there some kind of waiting period or secondary motion needed? I would like to let him know when his name is on this list; he would be thrilled.

Please, I understand the intent is good, but our manual of style correctly tells us what the problems is with edits like this.

Additions to the list should cite a reliable verifiable source which cites the person's notability and/or link to Puerto Rico. . Please explain your rationale why WP:SELF applies to this statement. the MOS clearly states that Neutral self-references are acceptable if it does apply which I fail to see. damiens.rf clearly understands that the intent here is good. I applaud him for this. And just fyi, this article has just recently been unprotected (for about 2 weeks). The reason it was protected in the first place? That's right....Vandalism. I'll be reverting it again shortly unless someone shows me it's the wrong thing to do. QuAz GaA 19:34, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
It is perfectly alright to include the reminder that reliable sources are needed. People by their very nature will tend to include folks that are Puerto Ricans but not notable. The requirement that a RS be include is the proper middle of the road approach. In addition, the assumption that an article has to be a regular target of vandals before a note to include only info with RS's is a very poor assumption. The fact is, info added to the encyclopedia should include RS's - especially when brought into question. This requirement is everywhere in WP policies.My name is Mercy11 ( talk) 05:10, 9 August 2011 (UTC) and I approve this message.
A note exists here. But that still does not answer my questions regarding the MOS and why it applies here. This simple sentence is eloquently written and guides an editor toward a course of action which makes his/her edit more efficient. We have established the intent is good. Please explain why it should not be kept. QuAz GaA 14:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Keep: As has been pointed out above, The MOS clearly states that self references should be avoided. But in this case, I think it is prudent to ignore the MOS and keep this statement. With the good intentions of this statement to reduce the maintenance of this online article due to misaligned good faith edits or Vandalism, I think that concern of how it looks to MF's, and in print are overstated. The concern on maintaining this article in online Wikipedia mainspace should override the concern of how this article looks to other MF's. QuAz GaA 01:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Only a handful of PR legislators have served in both chambers. Her election today puts her in that select group.
At-large legislators usually have a relatively easy elrection process, virtually never competing head-to-head and never really having competitors. Ten or twelve aspirants may compete in a primary for six party nominations. A party candidate will then be one of thirteen general election at-large candidates (6 NPP, 6 PDP, and 1 PIP), of which eleven (all but 2 candidates) will be elected. Romero-Donnelly, on the other hand, won a head-to-head competition in today's vote, against a more moderate male candidate, a quite notable feat. Pr4ever ( talk) 23:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

As to a person being born in Puerto Rico to non-Puerto Rican parents. If you learn a little about Puerto Rican history you will realize that your question makes little sense since most of our "Illustre Boricuas" were born to Spanish/African/Corsican/French/Irsih/German, etc. parents or simply said non-Puerto Rican parents.
People born in Puerto Rico automatically have dual nationality: Puerto Rican and American. Puerto Rico follows the Jus soli law (the right of the soil or the land) meaning that one’s nationality is determined by the place of one's birth.
Therefore, a person such as Joaquin Phoenix is Puerto Rican and American due to the fact that he was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
History of Puerto Rican Nationality
On October 25, 2006, the Puerto Rican State Department declared the existence of the Puerto Rican nationality (see: Juan Mari Bras). Puerto Rican nationality was recognized in 1898 after Spain ceded the island to the United States as a result of the Spanish-American War. On April 12, 1900, the Congress of the United States enacted the Foraker Act of 1900. Section VII of this act created a Puerto Rican citizenship for the residents "born in Puerto Rico and, therefore, subject to its jurisdiction". [1] In 1917, the United States granted Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship without the requirement that the islanders renounce their PR citizenship. Since then, everyone born in Puerto Rico are both Puerto Ricans and U.S. citizens. However, in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican do not enjoy full U.S. citizenship rights because their rights as such are limited (For example: they can not vote in the Presidential elections). Puerto Ricans do not need to renounce either of the citizenships and do not need a passport to go to the continental United States and once there can participate in every activity as every other U.S. citizen. [2] [3]
There is a common misconception that all Puerto Ricans are of Hispanic background. The confusion stems from people automatically associating the term 'Puerto Rican' (nationality) with the term 'Hispanic' (ethnicity). Even though the primary ethnicity in Puerto Rico is Hispanic, [4] there are numerous other ethnic groups which make up the Puerto Rican nationality. There are many Puerto Ricans of African, Corsican, French, Irish, German, Chinese, Dutch, Lebanese and of Jewish descent, among others. [5]
Laws Concerning Citizenship/Nationality
The modern world is divided up into nations with each nation, at least nominally, exercising control over its own territory and the people who reside within that territory. Among modern nations, citizenship at birth is conveyed in one of two ways; either though Jus soli (the right of the soil or the land) meaning that one’s nationality is determined by the place of one's birth; or through jus sanguinis (the right of blood) where nationality is determined by the nationality of one's descent (parents). Birthright citizenship is the term used for Jus soli as it is applied under US law. [6]

New addition to List of Puerto Ricans. Augusto Rodriguez
I quote from an article printed Feb 8 2004 by Maximo Cerame Vivas, a noted Puerto Rican author.
Augusto was a Puerto Rican musician, educator, director of the Puerto Rican Philharmonic (1932-35), band leader of Midnight Serenaders a 1930 popular band. Founder of the Hebrew Festival Chorus of San Juan's Jewish Community, guest conductor of the Coro Radio Nacional de Espana, pianist, and composer. Augusto was the first president of Puerto Rico's Musicians Association and first director of the Chorus of the Conservatory of Music. Founder of the "Coro de La Universidad de Puerto Rico" (University of Puerto Rico Chorus)in 1936. PR poet Jose Anotnio Davila "extolled the magic Augusto could extract from voices with his hands and gestures". Notables Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, the King & Queen of Belgium, the King of Bulgaria, and Francis Cardinal Spellman were entertained by his choruses. His choruses have produced musicians such as Tito Lara, Pablo Elvira, Justino Diaz, Darysabel Isales, Edgardo Gierbolini, Raul Julia, and many others. Many more examples of his work and excellence are noted in "Las Espigas del Sembrador: Un tributo a la memoria de Augusto Rodríguez ... By Francisco O'Neill Susoni 2006. This man was a child prodigy, composing songs at an early age.
The University of Puerto Rico Chorus at the time was the "first secular, a cappella organization in the history of Puerto Rico. Its cultural effect in that island has been such that now half the high schools in Puerto Rico have their own a cappella choruses."

Glam rock and metal singer, guitar player. Considered one of the unsung heroes of rock and one of the best guitarists out there. Formed a band called Simply Slang back in 2003 they toured in Europe and South America and kickstarted the sleaze rock movement. Had a hit single on a Hollywood compilation album Glamnation Vol 2 and critics around the world agreed it was one of most notable tracks on the album. It was all over the radio in 2007. The first and only Puerto Rican glam rock singer known to anyone that alone is notable. Produces music with house legend Farley Keith aka Farley Jackmaster Funk and I heard Elton John wanted him to tour playing guitar for him. He's headlined big arenas with major artists but he is real shy about it. Considered a who who in Chicago (Sun Times website centerstage.com says so) and he's been on tv too on late night talk show. And he played the lead in a short movie I don't remember the name though. I think he should have his own page too, I met him and talked to him he doesn't want one he is shy. But as a boricua I think he deserves his props and if people like llyod banks (who aint even boricua) are on it he should too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.137.232 ( talk) 07:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

bio page at ASU states that he was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Without a reliable source to confirm that he is Puerto Rican, we can't add it to the article. The best thing to do would be, if you can verify with a reliable source that he is Puerto Rican, to add that source and info to his article (
Eduardo Obregón Pagán), then come make another request here. Just to clarify, we cannot accept your personal claim that you share relatives, as Wikipedia requires all info to be
verified in reliable sources; this requirement is extra strict for information about
living people.

This is my second request. Can you please list Dr. Eduardo Pagan, Historian and host of PBS show "History Detectives" (going into its 8th season I believe). Dr. Pagan has also authored 3 books--Remembering Phoenix, Historic Photos of Phoenix, and Murder at the Sleepy Lagoon (zoot suit and race riots in wartime LA). He received his doctorate at Princeton. His grandfather, Juan De La Cruz Irizarry Pagan, came to the US from Guayanilla, Puerto Rico where his family owned tobacco fields. Eduardo is my brother and I personally knew my grandfather before he passed away, and we recently returned from Puerto Rico to visit the relatives. If you could link onto ancestry.com or family search and type in both names, they would prove the relation. We have a copy of my grandfathers birth certificate if there was any way to send it to you. Let us know.

Could someone with edit access please add "Raffucci, Luis Fernando", the famous poet whose patisserie was once a center of revolutionary activity in San Juan.

Since the article isn't titled "List of notable Puerto Ricans" instead titled "List of Puerto Ricans" and seeing that I am in fact a Puerto Rican, I believe it is acceptable for me, my mother, my father, my brothers, sisters, cousins and friends to all be on this list. At least, according to the article title. Feed back ☎ 00:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Done Since the person is already listed, it is only correct for him the information to be current. As to whether or not the person is notable enough, that's a different issue which you can debate; however, since he is one of the highest ranking politicians in Puerto Rico currently, it seems hard to argue he shouldn't be included.

While I agree with the current name, I am disappointed that a move war broke out to get us get here. Just so everyone is on the same page, the specific guideline is at WP:SAL, which says “Words like notable, famous, noted, prominent, etc. should not be included in the title of a list article. Similarly, avoid titles like Xs and list of all Xs.” UnitedStatesian ( talk) 21:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't think there is much need of discussing this. Discussion has already taken place at policy level. WP:IG says: [..]the use of a gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images.
I don't see what a gallery adds to a subject which is "purely a list". Mayor of Yurp ( talk) 09:31, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Removed the article on Luis Fraticelli. Clearly from a mile away, this is a vanity article/entry. Mr. Fraticelli's appointment to a high position in the FBI's many regional offices does not qualify him as famous. I have a relative who also worked at the San Juan office and was promoted. Should he be added to this article? NO. Sorry, but being born in 1961 and having only 40 years of life on this earth, with your highest achievement being a promotion at an FBI office in San Juan does NOT make one famous or notable. Please do not re-add entry. Lacks sufficient scholarly articles and only relies on FBI website. -- XLR8TION ( talk) 12:25, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
I will be revising the list to remove vanity entries, entries with no articles (red wiki-links), spell checks and shortening blurbs (articles discuss subject; please keep blurbs short). Any vanity entries will be removed. Please look at the list before adding an entry as duplicates can result. -- XLR8TION ( talk) 12:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

On June 10, 2011, Alberto Leguizamo, John's father, declared in an interview published in a New York Hispanic newspaper "El Diaro Newspaper", that he (the father) was not Puerto Rican, that he is Colombian and therefore his son (John) had lied and was not half Puerto Rican as he has always stated. [1] John Leguizamo had always declared that he was Puerto Rican on his father's side which was one of the reasons that he was selected as the Puerto Rican Day Parade Ambassador. A spokesman for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade has stated that Leguizamo would not be stripped of his ambassadorship. [1]
After a week, Leguizamo has not made a public statement to this matter. I can understand if he came forward and stated that "even though he does not have an once of Puerto Rican blood in his veins, he still indentifies himself as one", but this is not the case and therefore he should be removed from the list.
Any objections? Tony the Marine ( talk) 05:32, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
If the current name stands, then I will like to be added to the article. The article is a List of Puerto Ricans, and I feel it is incomplete if I, a Puerto Rican, am not on this list. I will also provide information for the addition of my parents, siblings and kin who are all Puerto Ricans as well. Feed back ☎ 15:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
If dozens or hundreds of lists are also guilty of having ambiguous titles then I would suggest that they all get renamed. Adding "notable" or "distinguished" to the title is redundant, it is an accurate representation of what the article's content is. Without the adjective, the name is too ambiguous to the common reader. ANd notability isn't and shouldn't be assumed. It isn't bizarre to find lists where some of the article content isn't notable enough for their own article. This is because WP:N judges who gets an article, but in no way does it judge the article content itself. So by stating that the members of this list are in fact notable by WP:N's standards actually helps the article by narrowing its scope. Feed back ☎ 21:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Please add Dr. Eduardo Obregon Pagan to this list of Puerto Ricans on Wikipedia. He is a TV Show Host, Author and Historian. He is a host for the PBS show "History Detectives" and his lineage is located in a video Fan Q & A: Eduardo--Eduardo fields your questions. This can be located on the History Detectives website under the section "ABOUT". Dr. Pagan talks about his lineage on his father's side and that his grandfather (Juan Irizarry Pagan) is from Puerto Rico. Thanks. Oh, he does speak Spanish, however, being raised in Arizona, his Spanish is not as fast as our cousins from Guayanilla.

Hi, I understand that I am not the one to make the decision, but my suggestion is to list Dr. Pagan as a tv show host; it is what he gets recognized for the most. Oh, he also helped create the PBS documentary "Zoot Suit Riots" narrated by Hector Elizondo. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mopcambm ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you JNorton for agreeing to add my brother's name to this site; however, I have been up and down the list and I don't see him.

Please, I understand the intent is good, but our manual of style correctly tells us what the problems is with edits like this.
I'll be reverting it again shortly unless someone shows me it's not the right thing to do. -- damiens.rf 17:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Additions to the list should cite a reliable verifiable source which cites the person's notability and/or link to Puerto Rico. . Please explain your rationale why WP:SELF applies to this statement. the MOS clearly states that Neutral self-references are acceptable if it does apply which I fail to see. damiens.rf clearly understands that the intent here is good. I applaud him for this. And just fyi, this article has just recently been unprotected (for about 2 weeks). The reason it was protected in the first place? That's right....Vandalism. I'll be reverting it again shortly unless someone shows me it's the wrong thing to do. QuAz GaA 19:34, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
It is perfectly alright to include the reminder that reliable sources are needed. People by their very nature will tend to include folks that are Puerto Ricans but not notable. The requirement that a RS be include is the proper middle of the road approach. In addition, the assumption that an article has to be a regular target of vandals before a note to include only info with RS's is a very poor assumption. The fact is, info added to the encyclopedia should include RS's - especially when brought into question. This requirement is everywhere in WP policies.My name is Mercy11 ( talk) 05:10, 9 August 2011 (UTC) and I approve this message.
A note exists here. But that still does not answer my questions regarding the MOS and why it applies here. This simple sentence is eloquently written and guides an editor toward a course of action which makes his/her edit more efficient. We have established the intent is good. Please explain why it should not be kept. QuAz GaA 14:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Keep: As has been pointed out above, The MOS clearly states that self references should be avoided. But in this case, I think it is prudent to ignore the MOS and keep this statement. With the good intentions of this statement to reduce the maintenance of this online article due to misaligned good faith edits or Vandalism, I think that concern of how it looks to MF's, and in print are overstated. The concern on maintaining this article in online Wikipedia mainspace should override the concern of how this article looks to other MF's. QuAz GaA 01:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
