Turkish Community in Pittsburgh, PA

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

PROD contested by article creator, reason was: This article is a tautology, not even up to the level of a dictionary definition, followed by some WP:Redlinks. It says nothing about the Turkish community in Pittsburgh. The article can easily be created when someone has information to post about that community.

 * Delete. Merely a list of Turkish organizations within Pittsburgh, and currently has only one entry, not notable. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 14:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no merge, although these groups should get a mention in Turkish American. This seems to be a vehicle for organizations in the Pittsburgh area, rather than about a community.  Theoretically, we could make millions of intersectional articles about "X community in Y locality", since there is ethnic diversity the world over.  I tend to favor limiting it to a national level, so that we don't get into the argument about, "if the Polish community in Detroit gets an article, why can't the German community there get an article as well".

 * Delete Present content for such an article sets a dangerous precedent, as Mandsford described - we could have a million useless, uninformative stubs on X ethnic group in Y place. Sometimes such stubs can serve to suggest development to others, but I don't see that in this case; instead, if an appropriate article can be written (with suitably sourced content) that would be great, but for now, there is nothing here. I cannot see WP:RS to support an article on this topic, therefore it fails notability.  Chzz  ►  19:55, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:N. This sets up an even scarier precedent than "Bilateral relations of nation X and nation Y" since tens of thousands of cities have hundreds of different ethnicities contained therein, leading to literally millions of potential nonnotable stub articles like this.

 * Delete unless we want to have a hundred articles for each medium sized city, on the Chinese, Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Vietnamese, Sudanese (etc.) communities in each. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 00:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
