List of Latino and Hispanic Nobel laureates

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article, as it stands, appears to be a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. A search on GBooks turns up some mentions of Hispanic Nobel laureates, such as this one, but they are usually restricted to either Latin Americans, Nobel Prize in Literature laureates or both, and in any case trivial. I've found nothing that suggests being a "Latino or Hispanic Nobel laureate", broadly construed, is a culturally significant phenomenon. (I don't speak Spanish and am not able to look for sources in that language.) Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 12:09, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Not sure is correct that the non-encyclopedic cross-categorization prohibits articles like this. At the same time there are other articles in Category:Lists of Nobel laureates and these are well-liked articles in that countries and various demographics like finding Wikipedia lists for their members who have this widely celebrated prize. I am not sure what to think. Do Nobel prize lists deserve an exception? Is there a guideline which advises that making these lists is a good thing?

 * Delete - for same reason I don't think we need the list of Slavic winners. Breakdown by ethnicity is really superfluous to List of Nobel laureates by country - this list is just the non-immigrant winners from Hispanic countries (and from some reason excludes everyone from Portugal, as I guess article creator feels they are not Hispanic). I don't have a problem with breakdown by race (black/Asian) or religion but ethnicity is really unnecessary. What's next, Germanic winners? Nordic? Celtic?   —Мандичка YO 😜 06:21, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * FYI, there is a list of Jewish Nobel laureates. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:39, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. The selection criteria satisfy WP:LSC, and there are reliable sources upon which this list can be substantiated. See, for example, this, this, and this. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * the first and third are again restricted to Nobel Prize in Literature winners; all three are restricted to Latin Americans. Should we restrict the scope of the list? Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 21:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I cited those articles to show reliable sources exist that can substantiate the inclusion of individuals on this list (see also this source for a more complete list of Latino/a Nobel laureates). I don't think there is any need to restrict the the scope of the list, because the current selection criteria are unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources (per WP:LSC). I certainly appreciate your concerns with regard to non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, but I think think the significant coverage of Latino/a Nobel laureates in reliable sources shows that this topic is, indeed, worthy of inclusion in our encyclopedia. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:55, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
