Romanians of South Africa

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

No evidence that migration of Romanians to South Africa or the community today as a whole has been written about non-trivially by reliable sources. There are trivial mentions that confirm this community exists, but that's all I can find. I searched mostly in English with just some limited searches in Romanian because I don't speak it. If you do some searches in Romanian whether with positive or negative results, please mention the queries you used. Old proposed deletion in December 2007 removed by creator without improvement.

 * Delete - after several searches in Romanian, all I found was this, saying there are 3,000 Romanians in South Africa. But: a) that's not a reliable source (the site isn't professionally edited, and has an agenda of promoting the Romanian diaspora, often inflating its numbers/significance) b) if all even they could say was a number, we clearly can't write an article on this subject. The present one appears to be original research. - Biruitorul Talk 05:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The size of the community alone makes it trivial. The sources that would establish notability haven't been shown to exist – and (almost certainly) don't exist in the first place. 9Nak (talk) 13:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
