List of Asian Australian communities

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is entirely unencyclopedic. There are "Asian" communities in every suburb of Australia, but this article has no criteria for exclusion or inclusion. It also has no obvious purpose.--Grahame (talk) 01:20, 12 May 2017 (UTC) Grahame (talk) 01:20, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

— 58.164.98.231 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — I am, I am a dynamic IP user and have made many edits in regards to this topic however, based on the IP I used to publish my stance on the issue, it appears to be that I have not. I have been told that the previous note on IP address needs to appear here for clarity.
 * Delete. No criteria for inclusion on this list. WWGB (talk) 01:31, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose or Merge I believe this article needs a change in name such as to "List of cities and regions with large Asian Australian communities" and should focus on major communities as the article already does. I also believe that if it is going to be deleted the article should then be merged into Asian Australians. List of U.S. communities with Asian-American majority populations, List of U.S. cities with large Hispanic populations and List of U.S. communities with Native American majority populations exist, so why can't this?

 * I don't think there's anything to merge, since there's nothing reliably sourced here. Also, I note that List of U.S. communities with Asian-American majority populations has been tagged for notability for six years! That's the problem with WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. StAnselm (talk) 02:10, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * In any case, List of U.S. communities with Asian-American majority populations has a clear inclusion criterion: 50% Asian-American per census data. StAnselm (talk) 02:12, 12 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:TNT. If such a list as mentioned above is possible, this is not it. None of the references suggest any particular location has a "large" Asian community; the best they do is indicate "above average". E.g. Ultimo, New South Wales has 17.6% Chinese-born. That seems high, certainly above average, but the source doesn't indicate it's a "major Asian community". Do we work on percentages? If so, what is the cut-off? 10%? 20%? 50%? 80%? This list doesn't tell us. StAnselm (talk) 02:08, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay I understand what you're saying but really "none of the sources" so I'm assuming you have read the entire book, Christmas Island: An Anthropological Study? (58.164.98.231 (talk) 02:20, 12 May 2017 (UTC))


 * Delete, largely per StAnselm. I'll also point out the fact that Sunnybank, Queensland (which admittedly is only 15.1% Chinese-born and 7.1% Taiwan-born, per its article) isn't listed, despite it being "the new Chinatown" according to a great many Brisbane foodie types, to say nothing of Chinatown, Brisbane being only a precinct of Fortitude Valley, Queensland (only 2.2% Chinese-born). And so on. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:41, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * delete no criteria for inclusion as others have said plus bordering on original research. So the whole city of Darwin is an Asian community? LibStar (talk) 03:10, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOR Power~enwiki (talk) 04:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Asian Australians. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 15:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * as discussed above the content inclusion is questionable, so merging something that is disputed is not an option in my opinion. LibStar (talk) 12:33, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
