According to that criterion, there would be no Germans at all before 1871 and no Italians before 1861, and the Polish people did not exist between 1795 and 1919! Wikipedia shouldn't work that way. AnonMoos (talk) 12:09, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, a footnote should be provided stating what "German" means, and that his nationality was Prussian-British. Mjroots (talk) 07:19, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I find it weird, especially as the former was quite influential at the time, considering the historical context, as well as successful, not to mention See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes!. Also the change Handel made to his subscribers method, and so on. 109.186.62.209 (talk) 08:27, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
