*'''Merge or delete''' - IMO we should be categorizing people (just) by what they are notable for (actor, politician etc); not for the characteristics of their (grand)parents (which in many cases aren't mentioned in articles hence these categories are likely to be incomplate). <b>[[User:DexDor|DexDor]]</b><sup> [[User talk:DexDor|(talk)]]</sup> 18:45, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' -- Finland was a Swedish province until conquered by Russia in 1809. The result is that there is a substantial Swedish-speaking minority. This is thus a significant quasi-ethnicity and as entitled to have descent categories as other ethnicities. I would compare this with descent categories for Armenians, Assyrians and other religious minorities of the Ottoman Empire. Perhaps it should be "Finland-Swedish" descent.

:* This is not an ethnicity as strong as Armenians and Assyrians for whom religion also plays a very important role. In contrast Finnish people are Lutherans regardless whether or not the belong they belong to the Swedish-speaking minority.
