I'm uncomfortable with the inclusion on all of these lists of people who were not born or raised in them. I can see listing someone born elsewhere but raised in Puerto Rico, for example, but if it is the birthplace of one parent, for example, and that is all, I don't think they should be kept in the list. Geraldo Rivera is such an example. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 11:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Wouldn't it make more sense to rename the page to "List of Notable Puerto Ricans"? The title is pretty vague as is, and its vagueness was the only reason I clicked it. Seohyunnie91 ( talk) 19:24, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment: We can also do like
List of Americans and separate it by occupation like this:
Comment: Ahnoneemoos, I fully understand what you are saying, however I do not agree with you. You known that I value your contributions, however, in the past you have splitted other articles despite the objections of others. This list can not be compared with the "List of Americans". You are talking about the United States, a nation whose population reaches over a billion and has hundreds of notable people. Puerto Rico is a small island of 4 million people with 4 million more in the USA. This list follows the format of the list of people of other Latin American countries, example:
List of Cubans and
List of Mexicans. This list has been here for many years and has been well managed. I think that to state that "we get rid of this list completely" is an insult to all the editors who have day and night taken care of it. The issue here was that the list was "too long" not the splitting of the list into a bunch of small lists. I have presented a practical solution which would solve the "too long" issue, however you have listed this in the "RFC" which will create a prolonged discussion on a simple matter.

Idea: I would like to propose the following "One-Two Punch Plan" option:
(1) That the article be kept but that it be turned into a list of (not names but) wikilinks to other lists, and (2) that those "other lists" include the following list articles:
As can be seen, some of these lists are already active. The remaining lists should be easy to develop since virtually all would be simple copy/pastes from this existing article here.
My name is Mercy11 ( talk) 01:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC), and I approve this message.
Comment: - While it is easy to suggest what option would be the best way to go, it is not an easy task. I want to make the following suggestions.
First - the person who creates the spin-off lists should have the same in his/her "watchlist" and should be in charge of the list's maintenance. For years we have maintained this list to its high standard.
Second - the creator of the list's should make sure that the names in the list's are sourced, otherwise you will have a situation such as the " List of Puerto Rican comedians" which has an ugly "unsourced tag" which question the reliability of the same. You will have people add names that should not be in the list, such as " Sammy Davis, Jr." who did not have an once of Puerto Rican blood in his veins and who was once in the list. You will have people add their own names solely for self-promotional purposes, see: [2] (note: the list has since been fixed, thanks to the excellent job done by User:Mercy11.)
Third - the list should have an introduction that will keep it from being boring or lame. The introduction should be interesting to the reader. An example of what I mean of an interesting list is " List of Puerto Rican military personnel". It is easy to create a list and let others do all of the work. It shouldn't be that way, who ever creates the list should put some work into it.
That is muy humble opinion, buena suerte - Tony the Marine ( talk) 20:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I would suggest that we include a category of Puerto Rican recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and, perhaps, the Presidential Citizens Medal. The names in these categories would be repetitive because they would also appear in the predominant category in which they now appear.
This/these categories would make it easy for a user to identify Puerto Rican recipients without having to go through the hundreds of recipients nationally.
Puerto Rico already has 9 MoF recipients (in chronological order):
Pau Casals '63 Luis Muñoz Marín '63 (with Distinction) Luis A. Ferré '91 Antonia Pantojas '96 M. Isolina Ferré '99 Roberto Clemente '03 (posthumously) Rita Moreno '04 Chita Rivera '09 Sylvia Méndez '11
Puerto Rico also has Citizens Medal recipients, including Victoria Soto today.

I have reverted unexplained attempts to remove images at the bottom of this article, and I am currently up to three reverts in 24 hours. I give notice here that I first identified this as vandalism and I may continue to revert, because this is a permitted exception to the WP:3RR rule. Images of other notable people are alongside the list, and the ones in the gallery are in the list. So there should not be discrimination. It would be visually unattractive to put all the images on the right margin. -- Greenmaven ( talk) 20:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Why is Jessica Steffens in this list? Her article does not say she is Puerto Rican anything. Mercy11 ( talk) 02:51, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
I have added Rosario Morales and Aurora Levins Morales to the Puerto Rican authors' category. I hope these articles are of general interest.-- Lawrlafo ( talk) 20:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
This list uses a huge amount of bandwidth and pages. It is THE longest list article, BY FAR, I've ever seen. Each of the entries has his/her own article.

Today I was reviewing the listing of people from Puerto Rico and noticed that an important historical figure in the Taino Indian Movement of Puerto Rico was removed from the listing of people of Puerto Rico. This person whom is identified as Taino Indian and one of the original 1968 founding Fathers of the Taino Indian Movement of Puerto Rico often referred to as "The Don Pedro of the Taino Indians" by his family and whom was born in the town of Orocovis in the central mountains of Puerto Rico in the year 1951 of whom is Taino mestizo Indian parents. He has had a place in the history of Puerto Rico by his decades long involvement in the political island struggled of the indigenous Civil Rights movement in Puerto Rico and now he is no longer listed. Was this action taken by the promoters of the "List of Puerto Ricans" page or was it done as an a deliberate act of Wikipedia vandalism by a non-Wikipedia member? The person whom I am speaking of is a known Taino Indian Nationalist of Puerto Rico and a well known Native Civil Rights Activist by the name of Don Pedro Guanikeyu Torres.

I know I read in a rollingstone interview in the 80s that he considers himself PR. A couple of years ago I tried to confirm this online and I found a phone conversation on the George Lopez show where he called himself His ‘Puerto Rican Brother From Another Mother’. The below link seems to have it backwards.
http://www.vibe.com/2011/04/peep-prince-calls-george-lopez-his-puerto-rican-brother-another-mother/
The video is down but I feel I am correct. Besides the fact he is usually referred as black but his appearance is latino.
This article describes the phrase used on the phone conversation correctly:

That Prince looks "Latino"? Now, that is stereotyping. What does a "Latino" really look like? Latinos come in every shape, color, religious background and so on. There are Latinos with white, brown, black, yellow and all tones of skin color. Just because someone assumes that you look "Latino" does not mean that you are one and much less that you are Puerto Rican.
That George Lopez stated that Prince was "his Puerto Rican brother from another mother" as part of his script does not mean a thing. It is a script written by someone in his show and as such Lopez must go along with it. I have seen movies where actors have played the roles of other nationalities not their own. Tony the Marine ( talk) 15:53, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
I did not mean to be offensive. I happen to think Prince looks Puerto Rican (my own opinion). The article is wrong and I wish there was a way to verify the tape. Prince definitely called himself "his Puerto Rican brother from another mother", not the other way around. SneakLion ( talk) 17:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Sneak

When the list was first created we didn't include a rule or rules of inclusion. In 2008, I together with RayLast to check and verify every entry on the .
The idea behind the clean-up sweep is to remove non-notables who do not have a reliable verifiable source after a verification with a google search.
Note: Some names will be removed because there is no proof that said person has Puerto Rican blood. However, anyone may re-add names which have been removed from the list as long as they provide a reliable source as proof of notability or that said person is Puerto Rican (including non-Puerto Ricans who have made the island their homeland) or of Puerto Rican descent.
Those who qualified for inclusion were left on the list and then we added the "the rules of inclusion" to be followed. That is why some names do not have a reference, the references are within the article and those who were included after the acceptance of the "rules of inclusion" have them.

Comment: We can also do like
List of Americans and separate it by occupation like this:
Comment: Ahnoneemoos, I fully understand what you are saying, however I do not agree with you. You known that I value your contributions, however, in the past you have splitted other articles despite the objections of others. This list can not be compared with the "List of Americans". You are talking about the United States, a nation whose population reaches over a billion and has hundreds of notable people. Puerto Rico is a small island of 4 million people with 4 million more in the USA. This list follows the format of the list of people of other Latin American countries, example:
List of Cubans and
List of Mexicans. This list has been here for many years and has been well managed. I think that to state that "we get rid of this list completely" is an insult to all the editors who have day and night taken care of it. The issue here was that the list was "too long" not the splitting of the list into a bunch of small lists. I have presented a practical solution which would solve the "too long" issue, however you have listed this in the "RFC" which will create a prolonged discussion on a simple matter.

Idea: I would like to propose the following "One-Two Punch Plan" option:
(1) That the article be kept but that it be turned into a list of (not names but) wikilinks to other lists, and (2) that those "other lists" include the following list articles:
As can be seen, some of these lists are already active. The remaining lists should be easy to develop since virtually all would be simple copy/pastes from this existing article here.
My name is Mercy11 ( talk) 01:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC), and I approve this message.
Comment: - While it is easy to suggest what option would be the best way to go, it is not an easy task. I want to make the following suggestions.
First - the person who creates the spin-off lists should have the same in his/her "watchlist" and should be in charge of the list's maintenance. For years we have maintained this list to its high standard.
Second - the creator of the list's should make sure that the names in the list's are sourced, otherwise you will have a situation such as the " List of Puerto Rican comedians" which has an ugly "unsourced tag" which question the reliability of the same. You will have people add names that should not be in the list, such as " Sammy Davis, Jr." who did not have an once of Puerto Rican blood in his veins and who was once in the list. You will have people add their own names solely for self-promotional purposes, see: [2] (note: the list has since been fixed, thanks to the excellent job done by User:Mercy11.)
Third - the list should have an introduction that will keep it from being boring or lame. The introduction should be interesting to the reader. An example of what I mean of an interesting list is " List of Puerto Rican military personnel". It is easy to create a list and let others do all of the work. It shouldn't be that way, who ever creates the list should put some work into it.
That is muy humble opinion, buena suerte - Tony the Marine ( talk) 20:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I would suggest that we include a category of Puerto Rican recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and, perhaps, the Presidential Citizens Medal. The names in these categories would be repetitive because they would also appear in the predominant category in which they now appear.
This/these categories would make it easy for a user to identify Puerto Rican recipients without having to go through the hundreds of recipients nationally.
Puerto Rico already has 9 MoF recipients (in chronological order):
Pau Casals '63 Luis Muñoz Marín '63 (with Distinction) Luis A. Ferré '91 Antonia Pantojas '96 M. Isolina Ferré '99 Roberto Clemente '03 (posthumously) Rita Moreno '04 Chita Rivera '09 Sylvia Méndez '11
Puerto Rico also has Citizens Medal recipients, including Victoria Soto today.

I have reverted unexplained attempts to remove images at the bottom of this article, and I am currently up to three reverts in 24 hours. I give notice here that I first identified this as vandalism and I may continue to revert, because this is a permitted exception to the WP:3RR rule. Images of other notable people are alongside the list, and the ones in the gallery are in the list. So there should not be discrimination. It would be visually unattractive to put all the images on the right margin. -- Greenmaven ( talk) 20:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Why is Jessica Steffens in this list? Her article does not say she is Puerto Rican anything. Mercy11 ( talk) 02:51, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
I have added Rosario Morales and Aurora Levins Morales to the Puerto Rican authors' category. I hope these articles are of general interest.-- Lawrlafo ( talk) 20:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
This list uses a huge amount of bandwidth and pages. It is THE longest list article, BY FAR, I've ever seen. Each of the entries has his/her own article.

Today I was reviewing the listing of people from Puerto Rico and noticed that an important historical figure in the Taino Indian Movement of Puerto Rico was removed from the listing of people of Puerto Rico. This person whom is identified as Taino Indian and one of the original 1968 founding Fathers of the Taino Indian Movement of Puerto Rico often referred to as "The Don Pedro of the Taino Indians" by his family and whom was born in the town of Orocovis in the central mountains of Puerto Rico in the year 1951 of whom is Taino mestizo Indian parents. He has had a place in the history of Puerto Rico by his decades long involvement in the political island struggled of the indigenous Civil Rights movement in Puerto Rico and now he is no longer listed. Was this action taken by the promoters of the "List of Puerto Ricans" page or was it done as an a deliberate act of Wikipedia vandalism by a non-Wikipedia member? The person whom I am speaking of is a known Taino Indian Nationalist of Puerto Rico and a well known Native Civil Rights Activist by the name of Don Pedro Guanikeyu Torres.

I know I read in a rollingstone interview in the 80s that he considers himself PR. A couple of years ago I tried to confirm this online and I found a phone conversation on the George Lopez show where he called himself His ‘Puerto Rican Brother From Another Mother’. The below link seems to have it backwards.
http://www.vibe.com/2011/04/peep-prince-calls-george-lopez-his-puerto-rican-brother-another-mother/
The video is down but I feel I am correct. Besides the fact he is usually referred as black but his appearance is latino.
This article describes the phrase used on the phone conversation correctly:

That Prince looks "Latino"? Now, that is stereotyping. What does a "Latino" really look like? Latinos come in every shape, color, religious background and so on. There are Latinos with white, brown, black, yellow and all tones of skin color. Just because someone assumes that you look "Latino" does not mean that you are one and much less that you are Puerto Rican.
That George Lopez stated that Prince was "his Puerto Rican brother from another mother" as part of his script does not mean a thing. It is a script written by someone in his show and as such Lopez must go along with it. I have seen movies where actors have played the roles of other nationalities not their own. Tony the Marine ( talk) 15:53, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
I did not mean to be offensive. I happen to think Prince looks Puerto Rican (my own opinion). The article is wrong and I wish there was a way to verify the tape. Prince definitely called himself "his Puerto Rican brother from another mother", not the other way around. SneakLion ( talk) 17:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Sneak

When the list was first created we didn't include a rule or rules of inclusion. In 2008, I together with RayLast to check and verify every entry on the .
The idea behind the clean-up sweep is to remove non-notables who do not have a reliable verifiable source after a verification with a google search.
Note: Some names will be removed because there is no proof that said person has Puerto Rican blood. However, anyone may re-add names which have been removed from the list as long as they provide a reliable source as proof of notability or that said person is Puerto Rican (including non-Puerto Ricans who have made the island their homeland) or of Puerto Rican descent.
Those who qualified for inclusion were left on the list and then we added the "the rules of inclusion" to be followed. That is why some names do not have a reference, the references are within the article and those who were included after the acceptance of the "rules of inclusion" have them.
