List of Laotian Americans
Maybe if this were "The Laotian Experience in America," it could be encyclopedic, but as a simple list of Laotians, it's not. PRODed and contested. Erik the Rude 01:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge right back where this came from: Laotian American - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 03:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Do not delete. I took the material for this article out of the Laotian American article so that the Laotion American article would match all the other 'F00 American' articles in the Category:Ethnic groups in the United States (no article includes a list of people) and placed it in the list article so the list article would match all the other list articles found in Category:Lists of American people by ethnic or national origin.  The Laotion list should be treated in the same way as all the other lists.  Thanks Hmains 04:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Why should we treat Laos different? Actually, the smaller the country seems to make the list more interesting/notable. --MarsRover
 * Keep notable &mdash; RJH (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep seems to be precedent Crazynas 15:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Just as a note to all, I have removed outright two entries as inappropriate and of the remaining six I have prod'ded entried 3, 4, and 6. If the prods or AfD's hold up, you'll have a list of three. That's awful short to be maintained on its own. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 17:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - added several more people to list --MarsRover 04:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Category:Laotian Americans. The list doesn't offer much more than the category. Deleteme42 20:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Hmains and MarsRover. If we delete this, we should delete all the other articles of the same nature, which clearly is not an option. -- P a g  e  a n t U p d a t e r 22:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears to be a worthwhile article, and one which is expanded upon may well be more so. --Wisd e n17 23:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Question When I was looking through some of the other list of ethinicities in America, I came across an item on the talk page of the List of Bandladeshi Americans article stating that there was recently a discussion of a potential policy dealing with these types of lists. However, so far, I can't find the discussion to see the outcome. Does anyone here know anything about this discussion? ScottW 00:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep useful list.  Grue   10:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
