This article claims to be about an ethnic community in the US. However, among the notable people listed are DJ Lethal and Mark Rothko. As far as I know these two were certainly born in the territory of Latvia, but did/do not consider themselves part of the ethnic Latvian community. Should they therefore still be listed here regardless? — Zalktis 09:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Good question. I'd leave them on for now. Bulldog123 23:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC) reply

It's much better to discuss individuals you believe to not be Latvian American, and we will carefully evaluate each one. That's the best way to ensure that this article is as thorough, encyclopedic, and well-sourced as possible. Keep in mind that many of the individuals' own WP articles state that they are Americans of Latvian ancestry. Badagnani ( talk) 02:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC) reply

"The first Latvians that emigrated to United States arrived in tiny white spaceships." wtf?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acsialsystems ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC) reply
