Pakistanis in Belgium

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Another migrant group which has not been written about at length by any scholars or journalists. This book mentions them briefly on p255. That's all the information I could find --- not enough basis to write an article. Similar content was previously deleted by WP:PROD about a year ago. Thanks, cab (talk) 02:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: I will abstain from voting here, for being of Pakistani origin, there will be obvious bias. I would like to however point out that 14,500 is a significant population to warrant an article. Lyk4 (talk) 07:25, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, you're welcome to participate here regardless of your national origin, but see WP:BIGNUMBER. Population size isn't what warrants an article; coverage by reliable, independent sources is. Small groups may get scholarly attention (especially when the host society is especially interested in immigrants --- like Koreans in Chile; or alternatively when the worldwide ethnic group is especially interested in its diaspora --- like History of the Jews in Mongolia). And conversely large groups might get passed over for such attention, when it's hard to study them, or when they're overshadowed in the public imagination by another larger group, or when the society isn't all that proactive in investigating immigration, or any other number of reasons. I don't know why exactly scholars haven't written more about 15,000 Pakistanis in Belgium, or 25,000 Koreans in Thailand, or many other groups I'd like to write an article about. cab (talk) 08:46, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
