Hispanic people in the United Kingdom

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

Article is based on a collection of information about surnames, which may violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE and isn't necessarily even a reliable indicator of ethnicity, is of questionable notability (Hispanic is not a widely used term in the UK) and is not needed given the existence of Latin American Britons and Spanish migration to the United Kingdom.

 * Merge/redirect to Latin American Britons. TerriersFan (talk) 17:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't think that would be a good redirect because many (at a guess I would say probably most) Hispanic people in the UK trace their origins to Spain rather than to Latin America, and (also a guess from personal experience) I think the largest group of Latin Americans in the UK are non-Hispanic Brazilians.

 * Delete. As said above this is not a commonly used concept in the UK. People of Spanish origin and those of Latin American Hispanic origin have little in common apart from their language, and are not usually grouped together in this way. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed This article covers information already in the Spanish and Latin Americans in the UK articles, however if this article is deleted, the surnames are definately note worthy and should be put on another page instead. Stevvvv4444 (talk) 19:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
