[edit] Heritage
It's just a thought, but I have concerns about this heritage thing. Take Emerson Fittipaldi: His paternal grandfather was Italian. His paternal grandmother may therefore have been Italian, but she may not. His maternal grandmother was Russian, and therefore his maternal grandfather may have been the same. His mother was born in Poland. His father was born in Brazil. As Emerson himself has put it: "My father only has a little Italian blood". So to my knowledge Fittipaldi has Russian, Italian and Polish heritage in addition to his Brazilian nationality. Given Brazil's history (Native Indians, Imported African slaves and Portuguese colonists) 'Brazilian' likely includes other elements as well - why is Italian the most important one, and why is it important enough to put in the lead, ahead of any of the others? Happy to discuss. 4u1e 15:19, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, but he also has Russian, Polish (both definitely) and very probably Portuguese origins. So why mention only Italian, and why in the lead (see WP:LEAD), which should be a summary of the most important bits? It's helpful if you sign your posts by putting 4 tildes (~~~~) after your posts, by the way. ;-) 4u1e 15:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I know some people find names important, but they don't represent 'heritage' particularly strongly, and even if they did, you'd only be looking at as little as 1/4 of the man's actual 'heritage'. I have to admit I find the general obsession with tracing only the male side of a family fairly puzzling. It's as likely that a sportsman's particular attributes come from his mother as his father, after all! Anyway, happy editing. 4u1e 14:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Olek Krupa
A tag has been placed on Olek Krupa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 22:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
