Ελληνική Μειονότητα Κωνσταντινούπολη

See the Google translation at Talk:Ελληνική Μειονότητα Κωνσταντινούπολη. While merging has been suggested, the lead section says nothing not already found at Greeks in Turkey or Treaty of Lausanne, except for the (unsourced) figures that contradict the ones given in the others. Speedy deletion seems warranted under db-a10 except that the Education section has new material. However, it's unsourced and seems faulty. Why is it mentioning Arabic-speaking Syro-Chaldeans? It leaves 135 Greeks to whom three whole high schools are devoted, which seems odd. In any event, it doesn't seem sufficiently substantiated to warrant adding it to an existing article. Hence, I move for deletion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - as a good faith effort to contribute that is entirely misplaced. - Richard Cavell (talk) 14:38, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to the Greek Wikipedia. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Greek Wikipedia if possible; it does appear to be in good faith. As to Arabic-speaking Syro-Chaldeans in Turkey in particular? The numbers may be wrong, but it may be pointing out the Greek minority population and the Syro-Chaldean population live in the same areas. I would like to know more. -- IP69.226.103.13 |  Talk about me.  19:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki and delete. I'm the one who suggested the merger, except that on second thought there is nothing substantial to merge. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 19:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki, but change the title to el:Ελληνική μειονότητα Κωνσταντινούπολης. There is no corresponding article at el:, and the topic is not covered adequately there. Andreas  (T) 01:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I know that transwiki-ing is a more "feel good" option, but how would we take it if the Greek Wikipedia dumped an unsourced stub on us and told us it was our problem now, especially if we already had an article dealing with the subject? I'm pretty sure we would delete it as an unsourced stub that replicates an existing topic. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
