Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hispanic Britons

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. As mentioned below, this isn't a commonly used term, and the argument that the whole article is original research seems convincing. I looked for it on Google and did find it, but in reference to a couple of political agreements between the UK and Spain, not ethnicity, so redirect to Spanish Briton doesn't seem appropriate, it seems likely people using the term would want a political agreement. There isn't really any sourced content to merge; there is a beautiful table with pretty pictures, but no sources for the numbers, without which I don't feel comfortable adding them to another article. If someone wants to see the table to help them look for sources, drop me a note, and I'll userfy the article for you. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 21:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hispanic Britons

Hispanic Britons (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

1) Neologism (see WP:Neologism - the term 'Hispanic Britons' does not occur anywhere on Google except in this article and references derived from it - it is therefore a 'non-topic' 2) Therefore , it is a form of original research (WP:NOT#OR) as an article has been spun-out of a non-topic 3) Article is unsourced and consists of a few platitudinous statements, plus links to a number of lists and categories. If there is a topic here at all, it is covered in those lists and categories. Therefore, Delete. Smerus (talk) 06:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC) Smerus (talk) 06:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

• Merge into Spanish Briton. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 09:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into a renamed Spanish Briton article. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 12:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Don't Merge This article should nit be merged with the article Spanish Briton, as that article is about people of direct Spanish decent, not Spanish decent say through Chilean. The term Hispanic does include Spain, but a vast number of Latin American countries. If this article is to be merged it, should not be merged with Spanish Briton, as this could be compared to combining English people in the USA and English people in the UK. This is very missleading. 17:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
