Russians in Chile

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

Not notable. There are no sources, everything seems original research. There is even no number on how many Russian-Chileans are there, it just says "Tiny Minority". Lehoiberri (talk) 02:29, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--I have to agree. A quick Google search didn't produce anything either, though it's entirely possible a more linguistically adept person might have better luck. But the article is unsourced, and lacks the promise of more precise facts and claims. Drmies (talk) 02:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Though small in numbers, there appears to be a lot of academic attention devoted to them; see for a list of papers, for example. I'll try digging some of them up. In the mean time I've written a stub article based on the few internet-available sources. None of the sources seem to call them "Russian Chilean", so I moved the article to Russians in Chile. cab (talk) 05:52, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the list of sources provided by cab. Notable and referenced topic Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep CaliforniaAliBaba seems to have delievered a bunch of useful sources, and a google search seems to establish at least weak notability. NuclearWarfare  contact me My work  19:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment 250 people is not a significant number, and the contribution to Chilean society is really small. Why do you all want to keep this article? Many articles like this one have already been deleted in the past. Lehoiberri (talk) 02:42, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:BIGNUMBER. A group's worthiness for inclusion in Wikipedia is determined by the number of words published information about the group in reliable sources, not the number of members of the group. "Many articles like this one have already been deleted in the past" because the articles that come to AfD are typically the ones that nominators cannot find any sources for, and then get deleted because none of the other AfD participants can find sources for them either. In fact, many articles like this one have already been kept in the past when people find non-trivial, reliable coverage for them, so we consider each article individually, on its own merits. cab (talk) 04:05, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and close per WP:SNOW (notable and sourced), and censure proposing editor for disruption of our project. Badagnani (talk) 07:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
