The scope of this list is too broad; there are 212 people in just {{cl|Category:English emigrants to Massachusetts Bay Colony}} alone. There must be hundreds if not thousands of Wikipedia articles of people who were English emigrants to the North American colonies. toweli (talk) 14:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

• Comment There are 2160 people total listed in :Category:English emigrants to the United States and its two subcategories. Someone could copy all of those over easily enough, but unless you make columns to list additional information, it'd be useless. As the list is now, it shows no purpose that a category doesn't do.

• Delete. Pointless given the existence of the categories. We do need an English subcat of :Category:British emigrants to the Thirteen Colonies though. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
