Currently, "List of Croats" is defined in the lead as:
While "prominent" may be presumed to imply the WP:LISTPEOPLE criterion, this definition is not entirely unambiguous, and may be also problematic in some respects. Here are some questions that need to be answered:
Split. List of Croats (ethnic Croats) ≠ List of Croatians (nationality).-- Zoupan 14:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Folks, I have a suggestion that affects the entire list. Given that that the non-Croat (or non-slavic at least) world may not be familiar with Croat names, what do you think of adding a (M) or (F) after each name? I'm half Croatian and grew up with a fair amount of influence from the Northern California Croat community, but even names like Ignjat and Vanja stumped me.-- Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

While reading the history of changes of this article I've 'learned' that Leonardo, Michelangello, Napoleon, Brigitte Bardot, Charlie Chaplin ... were Croats. I know there are many editors suffering from the inferiority complex which can be an explanation why all these 'were' Croats. I tried to clean the list removing the names which cannot be put on this list(Schwarz - an Austrian Jew, Boscovic - an Italian, Andric - a Serb). Alas, I see the same name back in the list .
A sense of personal inferiority arising from conflict between the desire to be noticed and the fear of being humiliated. In psychology, a complex, or cluster of repressed fears, described by Alfred Adler based on physical inferiority. The term is popularly used to describe general feelings of inferiority and the overcompensation that often ensues. Adler described the complex as arising from the perceived inferiority of an organ or part of the body and leading to feelings of general inferiority. He believed that everyone suffered from inferiority feelings and that the desire or determination to relieve them determined people's behavior. Failure to deal with them could lead to neurotic symptoms.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 02:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
List of Croatians → List of people from Croatia – Per WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, and WP:COATRACK, we cannot commingle "people from Croatia" and "people with some Croatian ancestry"; the latter isn't an encyclopedic classification anyway. Talk pages of articles with ambiguous titles like this show a lot of dispute about inclusion, and it's caused by an impermissibly confused scope and a misleading title. This should move for WP:CONSISTENCY with almost all of the rest of our "people from X" articles and categories. The remaining "List of Labels" and "List of Label people" pages are being taken one RM at a time, since they vary between labels that are ethnic, national/regional, or both, on a case-by-case basis. The scope will need cleanup; it is presently explicitly mixing people from Croatia and people who are not from there but identify as of Croatian heritage (what about 1/4 Croatian? 1/16? On the basis of what sources?). The latter is just not an encyclopedic criterion at all and is inevitably going to lead to OR and PoV. At this article it already has, and it's been tagged as problematic in this regard since 2009. Time to just fix it. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:11, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Some people in the list are marked as "Jewish". I don't see how mentioning peoples religion would improve the list. I suggest removing the mark. - Most people in the category "Architecture" are marked as "architect". This seems preety redundant to me.
