What's Miranda's herritage. She looks like a mix of Asian and European descent to me. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 04:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

How do we know her age? who told us. Misplaced Pages is probably right, but where is the source? --] (]) 06:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

To the first person, she's American. Yes she does look like she may be foreign or have a parent who is but she's not and does not. There are people in this world who favor a race in which they are not.

:The first person asked what her heritage is, not what her nationality is so telling us that she's "American" is completely useless. American is a nationality, not an ethnicity. And what exactly does "she does look like may be foreign or have a parent who is" mean? Do you mean foreign = not white or black lol? No offense, but you need to get an education ASAP. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 03:30, 7 August 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

To the second guy, information like that is not hard to come by. Also pretty much any site that mentions her says the same thing so.. I'm pretty sure it's right. If you need some stone cold proof, try reading a past interview she's done or ask Nickelodeon. ] (]) 20:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The only thing I need to read is the reference that is included in this article supporting any heritage assertion. If someone wants to put ethnicity, race, religion, heritage in the article it must be backed by a reliable source. ]. Personal evaluations based on how she looks or her name is not sufficient. --] 20:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
:I removed mention of her being "of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent". doesn't look like a particularly reliable reference to me. It stems for "All Movie Guide", a website I wouldn't use as a reference for anything (for example, in their entry on ] - , they state that his father was Portuguese-born, which is not correct). The statement itself sounds like the usual laundry bag of ethnicities that fans make up and spread on the internet. ] (]) 20:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually she is a japanese heritage, it was mentioned in an interview and she wants to be thought of as a full american so lets just drop the subject ok. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 04:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--

when did she say that? and where's the proof that she's filipino and italian? if I don't get one I might have to delete this.

-Can you source this interview? I'd like to know what her ethnic background Miss Cosgrove really is to end an argument with a friend. Of course she is American and fully American, but she had to have come from somewhere. I'm fully American, but if you ask my heritage I'll tell you I'm Irish. I think that since this is something a lot of people ask about, we should verify it on the Wiki page. --] (]) 22:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It says on http://www.nationmaster(dot)com/encyclopedia/Miranda-Cosgrove that she is of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent. This looks like it may have been taken from an earlier version of this WIkipedia article. I have added it to the article: feel free to delete it.

I know I have no source on this, but I'd guess that she is of a Filipino heritage, though I believe someone did state that there is also likely some Italian in there, which I could understand.

== Why is it that she's been at USC since 2012 as a psychology major? ==
Miranda Cosgrove's "About You Now" was been featured on Now That's What I Call Music! 30. I do not think believe that Miranda Cosgrove will be on Now That's What I Call Music! 32. Miranda Cosgrove is not being in the Now's. It's the first time Miranda Cosgrove was on Now That's What I Call Music! 30 not the other Now Volumes.


So it's known that she first decided to study film before switching over to major in psychology. She's been attending USC since she was 19 (fall 2012) and now she's 26. Why is it taking so long for her graduate? I ask because the article doesn't speak about this at all. Does anyone know? ] (]) 21:47, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

There is pretty much zero justification for Cosgrove's filmography to be a separate article – it's not even a particularly long filmography.

Really only English, Irish and French?? She looks pretty exotic looking to me, especially around the eyes she looks part Asian.

:::Of course we shouldn't add anything based on appearance. What's the point? I'm wondering if she actually has other ancestry which isn't mentioned in the article or something is missing. Sometimes a lot have Native American which they don't know about. I'm just surprised as she has a very similar look to what some actresses of Filipina/Native American/Portuguese descent have. Obviously we can't add anything unless a reliable source states it. She or somebody should do a family research thing for her on the genealogy site like they did for Armie Hammer!♦ ] 15:55, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
::::What we have in the article right now is family lore with only Cosgrove's unsupported word on this. She did indirectly reject "Asian" in that twitter message. I am surprised that her family lore does not support "]" which seems to be the vastly most common Amerindian ancestry claim for some strange reason. I think we shouldn't put a lot of credence on unsupported primary source info such as this, and I personally think it does not belong, but it seems wiki convention is OK with it as being reliable and in articles. If there were a genealogy study published in a reliable source, that would be useful and interesting to add to the article to explain her somewhat unique appearance. ] (]) 16:21, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

A fact from this article was featured on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the On this day section on May 14, 2024.

Why is it that she's been at USC since 2012 as a psychology major?

So it's known that she first decided to study film before switching over to major in psychology. She's been attending USC since she was 19 (fall 2012) and now she's 26. Why is it taking so long for her graduate? I ask because the article doesn't speak about this at all. Does anyone know? Factfanatic1 (talk) 21:47, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Merging the Filmography back to the main article

There is pretty much zero justification for Cosgrove's filmography to be a separate article – it's not even a particularly long filmography.

I will merge it back to this article some time in the future, unless somebody can come up with a compelling policy-based reason why it shouldn't be. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:16, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
