Sri Lankan American


No information of its own, no notable expansion since creation in May. More useful as a redlink. Circeus 01:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn Article now has relevant info. Circeus 16:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Expand and Keep If this article can be expanded in a week, then keep it. Or else delete it. I'll try to work on it. -- Ageo020 ( T  •  C ) 01:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I have an adopted cousin who is Sri Lankan by birth. I don't think this as unexpandable as Bhutanese-American.--T. Anthony 03:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:N and WP:CITE. Not notable and not even the supplied US census table list any Sri Lankan American.~ Feureau 03:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added citations and names of organizations.--T. Anthony 03:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

*Template and Keep. Good work, those who managed to expand it. However, a difficulty is present in that Sri Lankan is a broad encompassing term that many ethnic groups are part of. However, if someone manages to construct an ethnic template, this vote becomes a proper keep. Black-Velvet 11:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If sources are cited and article is expanded, then its a keep. If not, it's a delete. --Ter e nce Ong (C 04:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; WP:CITE and WP:N for entire group of dash-Americans...SkierRMH 08:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep While I voted delete for other something-American article this one does have some info and it is sourced.--Aussie King Pin 10:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Those extra sources helped me change my mind a little. Black-Velvet  03:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Has been expanded with sources. --Czj 18:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep contains useful information on another American ethnic group. Hmains 04:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm sorry my inclutionists, but I have to agree with the nom & Feureau in this case. The article is not notable. Should we create a Greek American article? Rwandan American article? I'm sure there's a couple out there. What about Lesotho American? There must be one of those... Then we can started on Rwandan Greeks etc. :) Delete outright & salt.
