The result was keep. The nominator has been blocked as a sockpuppet and in the absence of any other arguments for deletion, I’m closing as ‘keep’. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:02, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Can I ask if you did WP:BEFORE? Immigration of others to countries like Finland is definitely an easily-sourceable topic where statistics can bare-minimum source this article (a search for "arabic finlanders" found this for instance to support the language count claim). It feels like this article is underwritten and all it needs is some more sources.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:52, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. The lack of WP:BEFORE extends to not even looking in the article itself. It does indeed have a source for the number of Arabic speakers, which is the only actual fact in the article. SpinningSpark 23:11, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. See "‘Finland’s no good:’ Disappointed migrants turn back", Arab News; "Thousands of Iraqi refugees leave Finland voluntarily", Reuters. SpinningSpark 17:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep source in the article, with those found by others here and in a quick search shows that this easily passes GNG. LittlePuppers (talk)

 * Keep - per WP:GNG. Per sourcing. Google search gives plenty of useful results as well for expansion.BabbaQ (talk) 23:29, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep generaly support keep reasons above. Fairly new with expansion, similar to a set of articles "ethnic group in country".  Potential for merge options by grouping ethic group or by a set of countries, but possibility best to delay merge until various articles stable, no need to rush a merge.Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:33, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
