Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kuwaiti Arab


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to Demographics of Kuwait. The consensus here is on the border of keep, versus redirection, however those who opine for redirection note the articles lack of substance and citations, and coverage in the main article, thus the reason I have closed this as redirect.

 * Keep/merge The people of Kuwait are obviously notable and we have other articles about them such as demographics of Kuwait and Kuwaiti Arabic. Per our editing policy, we should use ordinary editing to improve our coverage of this topic. Warden (talk) 20:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Then why don't we have articles about denonyms of other countries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilikecod (talk • contribs) 05:28, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not an article, this is an A1 speedy candidate. If someone takes it and re-writes the article, going beyond five words to at least a paragraph and adding sources, then keep. Otherwise, delete, it is a shame to have such an article permanently on board.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:36, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The nominator removed all the unsourced content during this AfD, but that left no meaningful content in the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Not to mention that this article is talking about the denonym "Kuwaiti" and not Arab Kuwaitis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.201.63.26 (talk) 13:53, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Demographics of Kuwait – The article makes no assertion that the Kuwaiti arabs are a particular ethnic group; they're just arab people living in Kuwait. In fact the article no longer says anything of interest and it is completely redundant with Demographics of Kuwait. Regards, RJH (talk) 21:25, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per RJH. Almost everything in this article has a "citation needed" tag attached. The article can be re-created when sourced information is available. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep "This article is a mess" is not a criterion for deletion. "This article is completely unsourced" is not a criterion for deletion.  Nom has not made any case for deletion. Roodog2k (talk) 15:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Currently redirect as above; there is almost no content and the topic fits better into the main article for now.  Sandstein   08:05, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
