 * Keep for now. I may have set this AfD in motion in December when I questioned whether reliable sources refer to a "European diaspora". With one notable exception, I haven't been able to find reliable sources that use the phrase, and the article seemed to be a cobbled-together "me too" article that was intended to stand alongside well-studied subjects such as African diaspora and Jewish diaspora. In the past week, however, an editor has begun to rewrite the article, using reliable sources, to focus on the subject of "European emigration". I'd like to give her or him more time before deleting the article. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:24, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, per Malik Shabazz. The article was a conflation of European colonisation of 'The New World' and early modern to modern history. The editor currently working on the article is focussing on the post-colonial period. Dependent on how disentangling the OR and SYNTH from the article goes, it may end up as a decent article (possibly in need of a tweak to the TITLE). --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep echoing what has been said above. Let's give the current efforts a chance to make this article work. Lepricavark (talk) 15:37, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well then, now that the question of notability seems to be out of the way, I guess I'm willing to Withdraw with afd.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:04, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
