This category's standards were already set in the summarization. A discussion should take place before any major changes are spear headed.Mcelite (talk) 00:15, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

You wrote it without consensus. Other editors, See the consensus at the Wikiproject, which MC is well-aware of. You are attempting an end-run around the standards for citizenship and descendancy with these changes to the cats, as well as misrepresenting what you're doing. - CorbieV 00:21, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
I didn't misrepresent anything. Every person in the category has been cited as having Native American heritage from a WP:RS regardless if they were stated as enrolled or not.Mcelite (talk) 00:32, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Heritage is not citizenship. You know this. You know this or you wouldn't be going around altering the text on these things. - CorbieV 00:40, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
It was created for heritage with the inclusion of citizenship. I never wanted anyone excluded just because they didn't have the privilege of being enrolled in their tribe. This category is for anyone that carries the bloodline.Mcelite (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:OWN it doesn't matter that you started this sub-category. It needs to be in alignment with the other cats and the definition of Native identity. Enrollment isn't a "privilege" any more than being a citizen of France is a "privilege". It just is or isn't. Wikipedians don't decide who has "blood". Nor do entertainment and sports writers. We don't get to decide citizenship - the Nations do. To disrespect Nations' definitions is to abuse the 'pedia to advance an agenda. We've been over this on many pages including your user talk. It's time to stop this. - CorbieV 17:59, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
