Luxembourgian Brazilian

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Yet another Brazilian ethnicity article with no real content (see Articles for deletion/Georgian Brazilian). This article does attempt to estimate the Luxembourgian-Brazilian population at 25,000. However, the source used for it is misrepresented. While described as being titled "Luxembourgers in Brazil", it is actually just statistical data about Luxembourg, written in Portuguese, and published by a chamber of commerce in Brazil, and does not have the claimed title. Nowhere does the page mention Luxembourgers in Brazil or the number 25,000. Thus, there are no valid sources on the page, nor could I find any, and the article should be deleted.

 * Delete. I am Brazilian and I say that community is not notable in my country. Zero Kitsune (talk) 04:49, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and somebody with authority approach the editor for this... it just keeps going on.--Paul McDonald (talk) 06:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom (a page in Brazilian Portuguese about Luxembourg is hardly proof that there's a sizable Luxembourgian community in Brazil!), and someone take an axe to Template:Demographics of Brazil - there are a couple dozen more articles like this one. (Some of them have actual content, but the majority don't.) Many of the numbers in the other articles look highly suspect, too: Syrian Brazilian claims "3,000,000 Syrian Brazilians", which would amount to a rather ridiculous 15% of Syria's population, and Lebanese Brazilian makes the even bolder claim of "6,000,000 Lebanese Brazilians" - by comparison, the population of Lebanon is only 4.2 million.

 * The Syrian Brazilian and Lebanese Brazilian articles do have sources which support the claimed populations. (I don't know where the sources got their information from, or if the Brazilian census acts about ethnic ancestries, but at least the sources exist.) Also, consider that there are more people in the United States of Irish descent than there are people of any ethnicity in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland combined, so the ratios claimed are not impossible. Other sources support the idea that the Lebanese descendants in Brazil outnumber those in Lebanon. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Is this a joke article? Nick Dowling (talk) 11:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. How random. No indication of cultural or historical significance. Moreover, odd that this article should exist while more plausible ones, such as "Luxembourgian German" or "Peruvian Brazilian," do not. Cosmic Latte (talk) 17:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
