 * Keep but open a discussion about a move/rename. The concept is undoubtedly notable and covered by numerous RSs, see:, , , just for a taste. However, the terminology used varies, including 'commuter alien' (or 'alien commuter'), and just 'commuter'. I'm not convinced that 'commuter worker' is sufficiently specific, since that is more or less synonymous with 'commuter. However, the article should absolutely be kept and a discussion about the correct name can then be had on the article talk page. Hugsyrup 12:06, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * There is certainly scope for an article about cross-border working, but this isnt it. Rathfelder (talk) 10:20, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Why not? What is the argument for deletion other than 'completely unreferenced', which is no longer the case? Hugsyrup 10:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a great improvement, thank you. But the article gives the impression that this is an issue only on the Mexico – United States border.Rathfelder (talk) 18:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Totally agree, and I’d like to keep working on it as I think it has potential, but I think those sorts of issues can be dealt with outside of the scope of the deletion discussion. Hugsyrup 20:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Unreferenced is not a delete reason per WP:NEXIST. An ambitious editor has now added sources. Lightburst (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree its now worth keeping. Rathfelder (talk) 08:30, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
