Mexicans in the United Kingdom

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Subject hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources, other than population figures from the census. Adequately covered by Foreign-born population of the United Kingdom and Latin Americans in the United Kingdom. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

 * Redirect as above unless article expanded with more encyclopaedic information. There may well be notable information about this topic, but there's little point in an article whose sole function is to duplicate a paragraph in another article.

 * Oh, and that applies to the Mexico-UK article. I'm going for Neutral on the Cuba-UK article because that one does at least have some stuff that makes sense in a stand-alone article. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 22:01, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The first sentence reads Mexicans in the United Kingdom are people of Mexican ancestry living in the United Kingdom [...]. But then it switches suddenly and with no explanation to The Mexican British community is fairly small compared to other British ethnic groups (my emphasis). What's the relationship between individuals and community? I fear that the authors simply assume that if you are of ancestry X in nation Y, you thereby automatically belong to a "community" of such people. I suggest either that (a) the automaticity is a delusion, or that (b) the concept of "community" has been drained of virtually all meaning. -- Hoary (talk) 16:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's also a stretch to define Mexicans as an ethnic group, given the ethnic diversity of Mexico. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:35, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to whichever happens to be blue among Latin Americans in the United Kingdom, North Americans in the United Kingdom, Native speakers of Spanish in the United Kingdom, Mexicans in the European Union, and Mexicans in Europe. Nothing substantive is asserted in this little article aside from a single statistic, while it does manage to insinuate that Mexicans in the UK constitute a "community" (on which weasel word please see Unspeak) and (as cordless Larry points out above) that Mexicans in the UK or Mexicans in general constitute an "ethnic group". -- Hoary (talk) 02:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. The information is already in the Latin Americans in the U.K. article. Mandsford (talk) 16:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
