Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Belgians in France


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Belgium–France relations. I would have liked to see more discussion of the sources, but relisting again is a waste of time for a one-sentence article. This result is based on the current state of the article, and does not preclude a future article that is supported by good sources. Sock !votes are being ignored.

 * Well, one would imagine that it should be a notable subject, but I can't find any sources discussing the Belgian community in France at all. Maybe there is something in French or Dutch? JMWt (talk) 08:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete If we don't find any published material about the subject, then we should admit that it isn't notable. Formerly, the article was longer, but virtually all material in it was either unsourced, not really related to the subject, or a violation of WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES.

 * Delete. As JMWt indicates, this should be a notable subject, but if we don't have sources to support it, then we shouldn't have an article until we find sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:43, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete the single statement in the article can be added to Belgium–France relations.LibStar (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep (but actually Merge to Belgium–France relations) - A little confused by the discussion above, since a cursory and uninformed search reveals plenty of academic discussion of the topic on the first page of results alone:   That PhD diss from the 1970s, in particular, looks to have an extensive bibliography from which to build a larger article. That said, it seems fine to me to include that information in the History section of Belgium–France relations. Therefore, while I expect late consensus around keeping is unlikely to form, I recommend a Merge with a "Sources exist" template added to the target page (or similar).

 * Redirect to Belgium–France relations. This seems like a pretty clear case of redirect until someone writes an article, which I'm sure can be written, but this one sentence isn't it. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 11:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
