Talk:Indians in Bahrain

Error
I was reviewing this for DYK. The source given doesn't support that Indians are 400,000. It mentions they are 290,000. Also it doesn't mention them as being the second largest ethnic group (or that Baharna are the largest). You should fix the first and find another source for the second. For the DYK hook, I think it would interesting to mention their percentage of the population.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  09:49, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah. I almost forgot this. You must review a DYK nomination, as you currently have 6 DYK credits. I reminded you last time.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  09:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That page from the Indian embassy (the 290,000 one) is outdated. I found this page for the current 1.3 million people in Bahrain which said that there are 400,000 Indians. See here. I assumed they'd be the second largest group after seeing the Ethnic groups in Bahrain page. --Droodkin (talk) 13:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I see. The problem was (or is) that this article isn't used to support the material, resulting in failed verification. If Indians are indeed 400k, then according to 2010 census and using simple calculations, they'd be the largest enthnic group in Bahrain. (The total number of Bahrainis is 568k (2010 census), and if Shia were 70%, they'd number about 400k. If you remove those of Persian origin -not Baharna-, you'd end up with 300-320k.) I would still not put this as a fact unless supported directly by a reliable source and thus I recommend removing the line unless it can be supported by a reliable source.

 * Actually, thinking about this again, I think the line about ethnic groups is better removed, due to many assumptions. We are assuming that all Indians in Bahrain share the same ethnicity, which might not be true.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  14:04, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Removed the ethnic group part. You're right, it could be misinterpreted. Thanks! --Droodkin (talk) 16:40, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
