 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Of note is that the article was expanded a bit after being nominated for deletion.
 * Delete. This is not an article, not even a stub; it is a 1-line dictionary definition. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep but expand: Stats show there's a notable increase in Romanians living in the Netherlands, and it's certainly notable. Also, we have similar articles for different nationalities in the same country (Portuguese in the Netherlands, Filipinos in the Netherlands, Greeks in the Netherlands) Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 22:51, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * May I be so bold as to point out WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS? When there's substantial sourced content to be had, it would be different, but the situation is as it is. May I also remark upon the fact that "Portuguese in the Netherlands" is lacking sources for the most basic of claims? Feel free to add some (sourced) content, though. I may cause me to change my mind. Kleuske (talk) 18:01, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Not the most basic of claims, Kleuske, for the Portuguese in the Netherlands article. They point to the Dutch Statistics Department page that shows the population numbers. The Filipino in the Netherlands article is well sourced, from a skim-through of the page. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 22:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I did not mention the article on Filippinos, since it's quite a decent article. If this article were anything close to that, I would not have nominated. The one claim in the Portugese article ("20.000 people claim Portuguese descent") is unsourced and adorned with a cn-tag. But let's discuss this article instead of the ones I did not nominate.

 * The CN tag was misplaced. The figure was sourced in the infobox. Linked to this page . Also, I have added more information to the page on Romanians in the Netherlands. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 07:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It isn't. There's a substantial difference between "claiming to be of Portuguese descent" and "being a Portugese national". Statline only references the latter. Kleuske (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Romanian diaspora, where the only salient statistic, the number of Romanians in the Netherlands, can be found. (Note that the number differs significantly between these two articles.) As for the right to work, that's routine coverage of something that happened across the EU, and is covered at 2007 enlargement of the European Union, in the "work restrictions" section. I looked around for more material in Romanian, but could find nothing significant. (I did turn up a couple of organizations for Romanians in the Netherlands, but those aren't independent sources). - Biruitorul Talk 06:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Romanian diaspora. Insufficient substance for a standalone article. Vanamonde (talk) 11:22, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
