Russians in Singapore

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

Cannot find any non-trivial, reliable sources on this topic in either Russian, Chinese, or English. The "best" sources I located were: Not exactly the stuff from which we can derive a proper encyclopedia article. cab (talk) 07:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) this blurb from a headhunting agency (bottom of the page, in Russian)
 * 2) this paper in the the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies which discusses Russian shipping via Singapore in the late 19th century (but not much about any actual Russians living there), and
 * 3) this newspaper article about how a few medical tourists came to Singapore from Russia or Taiwan.

 * There is some information (in Russian) here  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.136.234.23 (talk) 15:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. But one newspaper article falls rather short of "non-trivial coverage" required by WP:N. You can see for the other groups in Ethnic groups in Singapore, the level of coverage is much greater: multiple newspaper articles, or even entire books. (With the exception of Pakistanis in Singapore, which I may also nominate for deletion). The information in that newspaper article can be added in a brief paragraph on Russian diaspora. cab (talk) 22:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete I wonder if we should start a pool about how long it takes before someone claims that all "foo ethnicity in bar country" are inherently notable. Gigs (talk) 02:28, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
