[edit] NHL players of Indian descent

NHL players of Indian descent (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A list of a whopping two people. I'm sure someone could write a fascinating article on race and ethnicity and the NHL, but this is too specific a topic to ever have any content. When NHL players of Korean descent, NBA players of Japanese descent and MLB players of Armenian descent get created, I will be nominating those too. Recury 15:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Two items does not a list make. Perhaps the topic can be reworked into an article along thelines of Ethnic diversity in the NHL? And Recury, your NHL players of Korean descent would have at least one two linked articles... Jim Paek & Richard Park. Caknuck 17:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Yeah, that's why I picked it. 8) Recury 18:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - There is no reason to believe the list won't grow in the future and even if it doesn't, there's no reason it shouldn't exist now. I completely disagree with the nominator and will be voting against deleting those other categories if they are nominated. --Lee Vonce 21:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Or if we were to keep, why don't we create an NHL players of kazakhstani descent, etc... Perhaps if it was Indian descent was a sizeable minority, then it would have some ground...but as for now, it's too short. --Адам12901 ^Talk 21:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • comment: Feel free to create one - as long as there are two or more Kazakhstani NHL players, I'll support that one too. --Lee Vonce 22:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Two or more? Why not just one player then? Recury 23:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Per nom.--IRelayer 23:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, racial profiling in sports should be generally be avoided. What would be the scope of NHL_players_of_European_descent? Perhaps there could be an article like Racial issues in NHL, or something, but honestly I don't see it as very relevant. --Soman 10:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, or at least merge all other articles like this into a single article, named something along the lines of "List of NHL players by regional (or racial) descent". Random the Scrambled ^(?)(Vandalism and other nonsense!) 15:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
