 * Keep - agreed there isn't much information on the article, but it is definately a notable group of several thoudand members, unlike Bahamian British, which I believe should probarbly be deleted. Stevvvv4444 (talk) 17:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete small group of people, not enough to really merit an article. It's only 6,000 people out of over 60,000,000 British people, which leaves .001% of all British people are Dominican. Tavix (talk) 17:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Size doesn't matter if they're a distinct group and there is information for an article. Why should it? DGG (talk) 05:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing: "there's information for an article". - Mgm|(talk) 09:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I see it, the article fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY because it doesn't establish that the intersection is "in some way a culturally significant phenomenon". A small group could be notable, but not in this case. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

**Are you going to give a reason? Please see How to discuss an AfD. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Distinct, notable ethnic group with a documented history in the UK, and many notable individuals linked in article. Improve our project rather than insisting, month after month, on depleting it. Badagnani (talk) 19:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for providing your reasoning. Can you supply sources when you say there is a documented history of this group in the UK? They would be useful in the article. I don't think the argument about some members of the group being notable makes the group itself notable. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
