They are many notable Cypriot Armenians including the Vice president of Cyprus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polysophia ( talk • contribs) 17:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Can we stop putting this nonsense up on this page? There is no reliable evidence that Gregory Peck had any Armenian ancestry, much less was an "Armenian" as this list's title says. Any of the sites like this [1] are exact copies of Wikipedia or of the IMDB entry. Neither are reliable because they are both user-submitted. Same thing for Michael Vartan. He may well have some Armenian ancestry but he is not Armenian in the eyes of anyone but Wikipedia users. He says he is a "Polish Jew" [2] with a Bulgarian father and a Polish mother. This is a list of Armenians, not a list of French/Americans with remote Armenian ancestry.
Nobody's claiming that their 100% Armenian. Vartan's father is half Armenian half Bulgarian. Vartanm 10:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Lets take a look at your contributions shall we? [7] You're going around removing categories [8], adding Jewish ancestry [9] Seems like a you have an agenda of your own my jewish friend. Vartanm 21:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
But the problem is that it's all your opinion. For example, you just stated that Diane isn't Armenian because she's only 1/64th but Vartan is because he's 1/4. Well, how come you get to draw the line? What if I say that people who are 1/64th are Armenian as well? That's why Wikipedia users can't decide these things because it's all based on our opinion. You need a reliable source that says something. So if you want to list someone as an Armenian, you would need a source that actually says they are Armenian.
[14] "Do you hate when interviewers get excited because you're French? The funny thing is I'm actually a Polish Jew who happens to be born in France. My mom is Polish and my dad is Bulgarian. I don't have an ounce of French blood."
Michael Vartan should definitely be included, at least under French Armenians. He is, after all, the nephew of Sylvie Vartan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.51.214.223 ( talk) 07:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
In order to keep the list in Wikipedia standards, all the red names will be removed from list. If you think there is a person whos name should be included in this list and whom currently doesn't have a Wikipedia article. Please create the article first before you add the name to the list. Otherwise the "red names" are going to be moved to this section. Vartanm 02:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I added Matthew Ridge to the sports list and it has been deleted. Don't delete it. Ridge is half Armenian. His father is Armenian and from Armenia. Ridge is his mother's surname. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.49.127 ( talk) 07:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Matthew Ridge is half Armenian. His father is John Nahabedian - lives in Sydney, Australia. He was raised by his European mother in New Zealand - hence the lack of reference to his Armenian ethnicity.
There are innumerable Armenians in every field who have lived and served as subjects of the Ottoman State. They should also be included here, for respect to them and also to show that Armenians achieved most of the positive things in the Ottoman State, together with the Greeks, Jews and other non-muslim minorities. Mimar Sinan (Architect Sinan, Sinanyan) the architect of the so-called Blue Mosque in Istanbul, father and son Balyan's architects of the most recent Ottoman palace Dolmabahçe in Istanbul, Zildjiyan family currently living in U.S. makers of the best cymbals in the world, Agop Efendi (Lord Agop, Agop Dilaçar) the linguist who devised the new Latin Turkish alphabet commissioned by the founder of Turkey Atatürk, Turkish movie actors Kenan Pars and Nubar Terziyan, and many other Ottoman Statesmen, musicians and artists and artisans, not to metion the thousands of businessmen.

Can someone fix the listings, right now it is showing the political section under the references and some musicians are mixed up in the list as well, I'm not sure how to fix it or how it happened. Thanks.-- Moosh88 ( talk) 06:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone add Bear McCreary and the Guy from Bungee (gaming company) who invented Halo xbox game. Maybe not famous for the old folks but definitely famed by the young generation. Bear McCreary is 50% Armenian composer who makes the music for Battlestar Galactica etc.. I really love his music and how he uses Duduk even has Armenian songs in Battlestar. How cool is that huh? here is the wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_McCreary bye!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.97.229.3 ( talk) 02:23, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Just because a fictional character has an Armenian name does not mean that we can assume her to be Armenian without any such reference in a script or a reliable source - interview etc - provided. The actress who portrays her on Bones is African American, as is the actress who portrayed her sister, so unless someone has some evidence, we don't make assumptions based solely on the fact that Saroyan is an Armenian name. Find a source. Tvoz/ talk 21:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Joe Strummer, lead singer from The Clash has Armenian family on his father's side, should he be on the list? His page references it and he's stated he's Armenian in an interview or two.
does somebody have sources which confirm that he is armenian? i think he is aromanian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.176.107.37 ( talk) 10:56, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
The list of Armenians lacks the ones from the Republic of Macedonia. The capital, Skopje, had an Armenian neighborhood (Ermensko maalo, in Macedonian). There is a story of an Armenian travelling theater touring Macedonia (then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), visiting several towns, and in the end, settling in Skopje. There are several notable Armenians, among them maybe the most notable are the Tavitjan family of musicians. Garabet Tavitjan is the famous drummer of the Macedonian rock band Leb i Sol, and after he left the band, his own band, Paramecium, a fusion band. His sons are also musicians, that had concerts in Armenia, among many other countries. Another rock musician, Armen Surmejan, was a member of the Bezimeni (No Names) rock band, one of the oldest ones in modern day Republic of Macedonia. On the Wikipedia in Macedonian, there is an article about the Armenians in Macedonia, maybe I could translate this page and you could add this link to the list of Armenians, for start. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogomilska ( talk • contribs) 17:17, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

edit, sorry, I should have included /info/en/?search=Gladys_Berejiklian
