A previous AfD listing, Articles for deletion/Yakut American, did not reach consensus. The article was nominated for lack of notability and paucity of sources.

This article was started three years ago, but only has four sentences and two references. A machine translation of one of the references says "You can count four Yakut family. Ivanov and his daughter Agafea lived here for 6 years. Aviva Family and Dorothea Prokofiev and login Olympics and Nikolaev. Family Permyakova. There were two Yakut-Indian families. Georgy Zakharov, who came to the fort in 1829, baptized Indian woman married to Natalia. They had a son, Simeon. In 1837, George Zakharov was sent to Russia. Probably, he returned to his home in Yakutia. There is no evidence of his family after his departure. [...] In 1836, Benjamin held a regular census of Fort Ross. Of the 110 people Yakuts were two." (emphasis added) It seems there were only a few Yakut/Sakha who came to America with other Russians, and still fewer who stayed. The article doesn't say how the Yakut-American culture is distinct from Russian-American culture, except that it mentions the Sakha language. It seems to me that this topic could be covered in the Sakha Republic, Sakha people, Sakha language, Russian colonization of America, Russian-American Company, Fort Ross, Russian America, Russian American or Yakuts articles. The Yakuts infobox lists under "regions with significant populations" the Ukraine with 304 people and Kazakhstan with 119, but doesn't mention North America. — rybec   06:52, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Yakuts. Nothing particularly wrong with the title, but it doesn't seem worthy of standing as a separate article.  Nyttend (talk) 02:34, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
