Renominating this per @Liz's advice.

This should be deleted OR redirected to British Jamaicans. What little info is on here is likely already in that article.

 * Delete Too short and not enough reliable sources.
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * delete The redirect is a problem because, as it stands, the two phrases mean reversed things: one is about people in the UK, and the other is about people in Jamaica. They aren't claimed to be synonyms, so we shouldn't make a redirect that says they are. And this article really says nothing about people of English descent in Jamaica, so it needs to go.

 * Redirect to British Jamaicans would be the best option. TH1980 (talk) 02:15, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mangoe is correct in stating that the term as currently used on Wikipedia isn't a subset of British Jamaicans. Going by a cursory search, it doesn't appear to be commonly used in that sense either, so it doesn't make sense to redirect there. ― novov (t   c)  07:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing useful here. Will only cause confusion if redirected to British Jamaicans because, what about Jamaican Americans? They are also "English" I must say. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:56, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
