 * Keep, there appear to exist non-trivial, reliable sources about this population, such as a whole book published in 1977 and reviewed in the Journal of African Studies in 1980 . cab (talk) 05:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Or for that matter, the 1975 source by the same author already cited (#4) at the time this article was nominated for deletion. cab (talk) 05:26, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand - Very notable subject; article has potential for expansion with serious and dedicated work. Badagnani (talk) 05:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. An influential minority who have played a role in the Ethiopian economy & politics since at least the 18th century. Sheesh, if I had known this article was likely to be nominated for deletion I'd have worked on profiling a few Greeks who lived in Ethiopia instead of working on improving stubs. -- llywrch (talk) 21:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article meets WP:RS standards. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:55, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep . Keep (on second thoughts it has some potential) The article barely meets WP:N. It may have potential for expansion. However the "Movies" section is completely unnecesary so is the map of Ethiopia. PMK1 (talk) 00:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Without making an judgment on PNK1's suggestions, I think they would be more appropriate for the talk page of this article -- where they will be seen long after this discussion is closed & archived. -- llywrch (talk) 17:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
