This is a neologism and OR. There are zero references on google scholar: (7540 references for simply Minangkabau). There is some useful content to be merged with Minangkabau people, but the article's basic thesis, that the Minangkabau diaspora (only 3 Google scholar hits, fewer than for say Batak diaspora) is somehow more significant or inherently noteworthy than any other (insert Indonesian ethnic group) diaspora simply isn't established by any of the sources in the article.

 * Merge any rescuable, cited sections into Overseas Indonesian. I agree, there are many ethnic groups in Indonesia, and this article does not establish how emigration by this particular ethnic group is distinct over any other.--hkr Laozi speak  13:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
