[edit] Migration india to suriname

Delete this is an unsourced essay. The topic is probably notable, but this is not even a proper beginning of such an article, it reads like one person's view of the subject matter without any sources backing up the facts purported therein. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep for now. It needs a lot of work, and probably expert attention. But it can be fixed it seems. In the worst case, keep a stubbed down version. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 23:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Once you remove the original research and the opinions and analysis, there's nothing left of the article to merge into a more appropriate title. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Gut & stub per Martin Hoekstra & Carlossuarez. Rename to Indian migration to Surinam or something, also.--victor falk (talk) 00:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for now, per Hoekstra. It's a notable topic that might otherwise not get covered (and believe it or not, the immigration of people from India to Surinam to the Netherlands is notable). Hoekstra wants to give it a try on fixing it. Yes, there's a lack of sourcing, but that's not to say that it couldn't be sourced. It's a contribution by someone new to the rules, perhaps someone from the Netherlands or Surinam. I get tired of the "White American college-boy" bent to Wikipedia and under WP:BIAS, giving this contribution some room to grow wouldn't be improper. I think that, rather than killing this as soon as it's hatched, we should give this the same deference that we give to, say, SpongeBob Squarepants. Mandsford (talk) 02:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 :D Nah, you really think so? Btw, what article is the current holder of the Overtagging Trophy Barnstar?--victor falk 00:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge information from Hindoestanen (a ridiculous heading as nobody is ever going to look for it) to this heading (deleting what is already here). The topic is notable, but at present this is all unsourced OR about Indian-Surinamese migration to the Netherlands, so the title isn't even accurate. --Paularblaster (talk) 01:20, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Look what I've found: a rather fascinating (but longish) reportage about ethnic diversity in Suriname [1]--victor falk 02:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
