 * Weak delete per nom; lack of non-trivial, reliable sources. There's an interesting mention in a footnote here about Greek slaves in Havana in the 16th century, and a few more mentions of a pre-Cuban Revolution Greek community which left in 1959, but I can't locate any in-depth articles about this population. cab (talk) 03:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * DeleteWikipedia is not a directory listing articles with every bilateral combination of persons from country X who live in country Y. A few incidentals in newspapers does not establish that such article are encyclopedic, and the references do not satisfy WP:N. Edison (talk) 03:07, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Closing administrator please note that editor has copy and pasted this argument in 4 AfDs. As I have copy and pasted this notice also. Ikip (talk) 02:29, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that the articles are cookie-cutter stubs which fail the same guidelines. Why spend time rewording the same objections to articles which read like they were spewed out by a robot? Edison (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * When you pasted your comment onto four different AfDs, it looks to me like you didn't even read Greeks in Poland, which explained the history of the community and listed multiple journal articles in its "References" and "Further reading" sections --- this lack of attention is what likely provoked Ikip to copy-paste his own comment across all these debates. cab (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep While the numbers of Greeks have fallen to a low level, there appears to have been a more substantial historical community pre-1959. If more on that were included it would seem to pass notabillity. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 11:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The whole reason we're all saying "Delete" is because it's not possible to "include more on that" (except by making it up out of thin air), given that no non-trivial sources have even been demonstrated to exist. cab (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete This is a statistic, not an article. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  22:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Not really sure that it's necessary to have an article on the 50 Greek people who live in Cuba. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 21:11, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It has the minimal number of references. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
