Talk:Italians in the United Kingdom

Population

It is fact that olver 100,000 Italian born people were living in the UK in 2001, however is likely to be higher due to the rise in immigration to the UK. Does anyone have a source for British people of Italian descent as well as Italian born people in the UK, Italian people in Wales and Scotland could each number around 150,000, and is most likely that the Italian population in England will be much higher, due to size etc. Also N.Ireland should be considered, there could be around half a million Italian British people, but a source is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.145.240 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

There is now an ONS estimate from 2008 suggesting that the Italian-born population has declined slightly since the last census. That's probably because it's a relatively well-established community and new immigrants from Italy haven't made up for mortality amongst the population's older members.

What about

John Cabot? He deserves a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.111.93.143 (talk) 19:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree and I have added a section about Giovanni Caboto. I have even enlarged the articled. Hope it is OK now. Sincerely, --LoanP8 (talk) 22:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Random Picture of Christopher Lee

There is a random picture of Christopher Lee? He isn't referenced in the text, it seems a bit of a non sequitur.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:c7d:da42:200:1066:7bf0:a086:e26b (talk) 17:36, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Agreed. It's possibly a remnant from the old list of people of Italian descent in the UK before it was turned into a list article. I've removed the image as not meeting with WP:PERTINENCE, and have also removed the brief, but weighted, examples which reads as who is more notable than someone else. The hatnote to the main list article is more than adequate for an article of this scope. Cheers for the observation! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 20:35, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
