List of countries by cultural group

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Hopelessly muddled, bordering on juvenile. Further, this does not actually deliver what the title promises: it doesn't list countries by any recognized cultural group (eg, "Anglo America" isn't a cultural group in any genuine sense, nor is "Europe and North Asia").

 * Delete: I can't even figure out what that opening paragraph is trying to say. I, also, am unaware of the existence of an "Anglo American" cultural group.  At best, this violates WP:NPOV, because the author has cherry-picked which cultural groups are relevant, and assigned countries to those groups arbitrarily.  For instance, under what rationale was Africa divided into "North Africa" and "South of the Sahara", instead of some other division?  And how can "dependencies" spread across the world form a single, coherent group?  Qwyrxian (talk) 04:19, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to be more-or-less original research. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:27, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR and per Qwyrxian.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 04:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to be the author's opinions about what countries belong to what ill-defined cultural groups.  As such, it is considered original research and should be deleted.  jsfouche &#9789;☾  Talk 04:53, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, completely pointless list. The author defines "cultural groups" by his own subjective criteria and never fully defines what they are. No sources. J I P  | Talk 05:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete For the reasons above. I note the reference at the bottom of the article, but without a hyperlink I have been unable to check it (a reminder to the editor - references are there so that people can look them up and understand why you have written what you have). It refers to the US Census Bureau, which is a reputable body but the context in which the grouping may have been produced or used is everything. There are many different ways of dividing the world culturally. We might do it on language, gender issues, liking for certain types of entertainment, and so forth. --AJHingston (talk) 12:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
