Greeks in the Philippines

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The does not seem to meet notability. Unless ten families living away from home is something notable the article does not serve a purpose. The etymology of the name "Phillip" is irrelevant to this article so is the map of the Philipines. Unless WP:Notability can be proven the article should be deleted.

 * I am also nominating the following related pages because of failure to establish notability:


 * A community of 30 individuals. No notable effect on Cuba or Greece.


 * Similar reasons to the above. The majority are migrant workers who come and go. No notable effect upon Ireland and no notability established.


 * Again no assertion of notability


 * Another article in a series of these. Request deletion per WP:N


 * No assertion of notability here either.

 * Again, unsourced, unverifiable and fails to establish notability.
 * All of the articles have been listed seperately PMK1 (talk) 02:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete if 10 families makes an article then that creates a precedent for Wikipedia. LibStar (talk) 13:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete size and worries about precedent-setting aren't reasons for deletion, but the lack of non-trivial, reliable sources (i.e. something larger than one embassy page and random bits of trivia about individual Greeks who did things in the Philippines) certainly is. cab (talk) 13:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Greeks in Poland, delete the others --- I added multiple non-trivial, reliable sources about Greeks in Poland, which were quite easy to locate. However, I cannot find any such sources about the others. In general, it is not good practice to mass-nominate articles whose notability is determined separately from each other, nor to turn a single nomination into a multi-nomination by adding articles in the middle of the debate after people have already expressed opinions. cab (talk) 02:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment, I tried to have the articles as close as possible to each other. However I have listed them seperately as per your concerns. Maybe the Poland article is different from the the others? However unless reliable sources can be proved then they should all be deleted. PMK1 (talk) 02:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. In general it may be the case that one article has reliable sources while all the others lack them; it makes it hard on the closing admin to determine consensus with a bunch of "keep some, delete others" votes. Cheers, cab (talk) 03:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:N. Edison (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all, there used to be some Greek refugees in Poland but they went home, so non-notable. FlyingTonite (talk) 01:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability is not temporary. If they were written about while they were there, then they're notable, regardless of whether they went home. cab (talk) 01:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
