Zimbawean American

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

Is this even an accepted demographic or just a neologism, as it were? I can't seem to find any sources identifying "Zimbabwean-Americans" as an independent and individual group. Ironholds (talk) 02:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete nn subgroup; this sort of intersection could go on at great length. JJL (talk) 03:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT, specifically not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is no evidence that this particular grouping of terms has been noted outside of Wikipedia, and as such, should probably not have an article.  One could in theory create every possible "Blank Blankian" combination of two different nations in the whole world, but merely because one could do so, does not mean one should.  As such, I think this one article, lacking any evidence that this is a noted group, should be deleted.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  04:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you need to reread WP:IINFO. The article is not a plot summary, does not contain lyrics, a statistic list, or a news report, so WP:INDISCRIMINATE does not apply. Tavix | Talk  00:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The list at WP:IINFO is not now, nor has ever been, meant to be exhastive. The operative word here is "indiscriminate", which means "Without care or making distinctions".  Since this article was made without regard for the distinction between a good "Blank Blankian" article and a bad one, it means it is an indiscriminate bit of information.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  00:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Read this essay, which is basically what I am trying to say, but in more details. Tavix | Talk  03:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article has no sources, and the only person identified as a Zimbabwean American in the article, Nick Price, has not been confirmed as having become a U.S. citizen (as opposed to just living in the U.S. for career purposes). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. Regards, FM [ talk to me  |  show contributions  ]
 * Delete as there are not enough sources that prove this is a notable ethnic group. Tavix | Talk  00:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Tavix. Not "indiscriminate information", and it doesn't matter whether or not the title is a neologism&mdash;but the actual topic of Zimbabwean migration to the US is simply not notable. I added all the information I could find to Zimbabwean diaspora; you can see that there's just not enough to make an article. cab (talk) 14:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment While it's looking like a snowball, I'd say delete this one without prejudice to recreating it later. Rather than being a "Fooian-Barian" article, this is one that was created by an author who has contributed to other Zimbabwe-related topics.  In this case, it was posted way too soon, but the links within the article, such as [| BBC News- So where are Zimbabweans going? demonstrate that people who have fled the Mugabe regime have fled to Botswana, Britain, and the U.S..

 * Keep - Actual ethnic group, encyclopedic and notable. Badagnani (talk) 07:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent, can you provide evidence and so on? Ironholds (talk) 08:07, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article doesn't have enought informations and sources. 207.233.67.8 (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If not deleted it needs moving to Zimbabwean American. pablo hablo. 14:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Does the US Census even have a category for "Zimbabwean-Americans"? (The US Census tends to be reliable about recognizing ethnic groups like this.) If not, then the burden of proof for notability should rest on the creator. -- llywrch (talk) 19:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
