Other ethnic group (United Kingdom Census)

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

Is this even an ethnic group? The correct answer is no. It is basically part of the 2001 census results which have already been scattered in other ethnic articles. Therefore, it is redundant and non-notable as an ethic group because it isn't "real". Tavix (talk) 05:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with 2001_UK_Census. As a constituent part of that article, the information here is relevant and factual and should be preserved.-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  11:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as per above. However, I would like to see somewhere on the 2001_UK_Census page a reference to the fact that almost half a million people gave their religion as "Jedi Knights" on the census. Tris2000 (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The nom is wrong in saying it isn't an ethnic group. It's a choice for someone who doesn't consider themselves to fall within the ethnic groups listed on a census form - IE any other group.  Lugnuts  (talk) 19:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I should probably make my self clear: This isn't a single ethic group, but the title for a bunch of minor ethnic groups merged together for census puposes. Tavix (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please--this isn't the place to get into a detailed discussion of ethnicity or ethnic groups. We only need to consider the article, which is about a single check box on a British census in 2001.-- S Marshall   Talk /[[Special:Contributions/S

 * Keep-- The subject of this article was an important part of the 2001 census and sources are available to establish notability, G.Books. The nominator is right, this article is not about an ethic group but the "230,615 people in the UK that ticked the 'Other Ethnic Group' box." --J.Mundo (talk) 02:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with United Kingdom Census 2001 Ethnic Codes or, even better, merge both with United Kingdom Census 2001. The article contains useful information which should be kept, but I don't think it's necessary for it to have its own article. The census articles could do with being consolidated into one.
