English to British edit

Weisz is not of English ancestry, it clearly makes more sense to say she is British instead of English. Beatlemania2002 (talk) 15:45, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Describing people as "English" because they're from England is used for many BLPs on this site. "English" is an accepted demonym for someone England, unless I'm mistaken. I don't care if she is described as "British" or "English" but for what it's worth, she was born and raised in England so the ethnicity line is irrelevant.
WP:ETHNICITY states that there is no preference and should be decided by consensus, but again, many notable BLPs of individuals from whatever country within the U.K do describe them as "English", "Scottish", "Welsh" and so on. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 07:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Why do you have to make such a big deal about it? British sounds more accurate. Yes, she was born and raised in England, but British sounds better since she is not of English descent. That is my opinion. Beatlemania2002 (talk) 19:39, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
