Books by Scourby 1984, Saloutos 1964, Moskos 1980, Zotos 1976, Xenides 1964.

There are books as far back as the 1920s. Each new wave of Greek Americans sometimes ignored those who came before them.

There should be a separate section for deceased Greek Americans. There were Greeks here since Columbus: Paradis advisor to Franklin & Jefferson, born in Greece; Delarof, first Russian governor of Alaska; Evangelides in Cullen Bryant poem. Look at the "political graveyard" website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.77.56 (talk) 16:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that several people in the article have a footnote ¹ next to their names. However, the explanation of this footnote was deleted several years ago in this edit. It meant that they are deceased. However, I don't think it is necessary to specifically identify the deceased people. If readers want to know whether the person is living or dead, they can refer to the linked article about the person. It shouldn't be necessary to have to update this article every time a person on the list dies. Besides, with the explanation of the footnote having been missing for over three years, I doubt that the list has been updated to account for any deaths in the interim. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only people with Wikipedia articles can be on this list, and then we need to have a reliable source verifying that they are Greek American. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:48, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will delete her. There's an interesting statement of hers but it empasizes she is NOT Greek. Bowie is an American born in Cyprus where she grew up.
