Afro-Dutch

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Good effort but this is an un-encyclopedic article. 1. There is no history 2. This article is best suited for Wiktionary unless many of the mentioned people credit their heritage with their success 3. There is no independent source referred. The website linked is a dead-end. The topic might be good the page isn't Wikishagnik (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep though a rename to    Afro-Dutch people might be advisable. The article seems the standard format for articles like this: a description of what is being listed, and a list of examples. The rule for including examples is that they need to be notable  enough to have Wikipedia  articles, and these do. Additionally, there are suitable general references. The nom may not be aware or it, but printed books ar perfectly good references at Wikipedia, we're a general encyclopedic , not a encyclopedic of those things that happen to be online this year--what that would be, is a web guide.

 * Delete References noted to date do not satisfy WP:N. Edison (talk) 03:44, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep There are multiple references sufficient to establish the topic something more than a dictionary definition. The sources prove Afro-Dutch is not a term only, but a community with a history. The article needs expansion, AfD is the wrong venue. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 03:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG and SupernovaExplosion. There's plenty of good sources out there if you take time to look. Bearian (talk) 01:56, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
