Asian Europeans

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Irredeemable original research. The population statistics and blurbs on which groups from which Asian countries are found in which European countries are entirely unsourced and have nothing to do with each other. No reliable source considers Tajik construction workers in Moscow and Korean ESL students in Ireland as subgroups of a single overarching group of "Asian Europeans". The entire concept is meaningless and arbitrary --- is a Turk who moves from Ankara to western Istanbul also an "Asian European"? Even renaming this article to a non-neologistic title like "Asian migration to Europe" would produce an equally meaningless collection of topics --- for example, throwing Kalmyks into the mix along with all of the groups mentioned above. cab (talk) 02:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Not really a topic. But material could be included in many smaller topics. Northwestgnome (talk) 03:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete an acceptable article on this topic may well be possible but I don't think there is anything here that falls within Wikipedia's basic content guidelines and policies. There is no reliable sourcing that establishes the unified concept and practically the whole piece seems to be built around a framework of original research.

 * Delete and I should point out that, in the British vernacular, "Asian" tends to refer to people from either Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan. Sceptre (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
