Unnecessary content fork of Swedes, which is explicitly about the ethnic group. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 22:12, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

But either way, there's no need for a third article on any aspect of the topic. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 00:40, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:POINTY, content fork. Nominator is however wrong in saying that the Swedes is explicitly about the ethnic group - there is no meaningful distinction between Swedes as a Nation and as a Nation group and that is why there is only one article about both. Being a Swede means to be a Swedish citizen and/or to identify with a Swedish identity. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 00:17, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Swedes says:"For information on the population of Sweden, see Demographics of Sweden."
 * That article is obviously about the demographic composition of the population, not about Swedish citizens as a nation.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 14:16, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * nation and ethnic group dont work we would atleast remove "nation" from the main lead to clarify what the article is about in the article wording too Abminostropkov (talk) 08:13, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * because that article was about ALL swedes not just ethnic swedes Abminostropkov (talk) 08:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete&mdash;under A10. This is straight copy/paste from Swedes with one minor change and obviously the title is not a plausible search term.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 14:13, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


 * read the talk page first before you do anything i was willing to discuss the subject and someone "Speedy delete" is not respectfull, people should get the chance of discussing things first before doing something like this or that Abminostropkov (talk) 17:21, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect/Incubate perhaps the author wants something else out of this article? It would be better if it was placed on Articles for Creation first rather than create one already. Bleubeatle (talk) 12:18, 13 August 2012 (UTC)


 * no i created this article because of "swedes" article did was not about the ethnic group but just the people, i see now that "nation" was removed from .This article is about. meybe a good solution would be that we also removed "nation" from the lede and replace it with "Swedes (Swedish: svenskar) are a Germanic ethnic group native to Sweden" Abminostropkov (talk) 18:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe not since that would be incorrect.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 01:09, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:FORK. The only emphasis is on the 'germanic' part. Bearian (talk) 20:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
