Their numbers appear very insignificant to be mentioned as an expatriate ethnic group of significance. If there are a handful of Mongols living in Australia, who are themselves of little note, impact, or influence, should they then have their own article on Wiki? 2.	The one source that is used is very obscure. 3.	Even the modern Greek expatriate population in Saudi seems non-notable, so i highly doubt more notable Greek communities would have been attracted to the region before the oil boom. Mainly, my argument is that even if we could find better sources, this community - whether historical or contemporary - just doesn't appear to meet notability standards.

 * Consider delete or redirect - Article does not provide evidence of notability of the Greek community. If there is an article on non-Saudis in Saudi Arabia, redirect instead.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - the presence of non-notable characters in the article is a matter of WP:NOTCLEANUP. However, even if (individually) notable Greeks were present in Saudi Arabia in large numbers, this does not tell whether Greeks as a group are notable there (it would at best warrant an article Famous Greeks in Saudi Arabia). I would have !voted to merge with Greek diaspora had there been any relevant sources, though, and should the article make a credible claim about notability of Greeks as a group in SA, I would change to keep.
