Template talk:Ancestry and ethnicity in Chile

The British are not an ethnic group in their own right. --MacRusgail (talk) 15:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I noticed the erased/deleted entries of the Afghan Chilean, Indian Chilean and Pakistani Chilean articles from the category template. Asian Chileans aren't mentioned at all, despite the presence of east Asians in the country (i.e. there was recent Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese immigration). Has the articles failed to meet Wikipedia policy? They were indeed short in the length of paragraphs, but offered some informative resources to back them. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 16:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

All three of those neologistically-titled articles were deleted because they failed to meet Wikipedia's notability policy. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indian Chilean for one discussion. Please do not re-insert redlinks to the template. cab (talk) 07:45, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Article: Indians in Chile does exist, with the proper criteria and sources provided to be kept as is. 71.102.30.215 (talk) 01:54, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Arab Chilean and Palestinian Chilean

The Palestinian Chileans are so many that when spaeking about Arab-Chileans 90% of them must be Palestinians, and therefore should Palestinian-Chilean have their own article. when enought information is gathered about Syrian Chileans and other Arab-Chilean groups they should get their own article. To identify people as Arab-Chilean and British-Chilean seems to be a wikipedia invention. Dentren | ^Talk 11:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I finally figured out what happened ... there was once a Palestinian Chilean article. Someone redirected it to Arab Chilean because it was completely unsourced, and they also removed all mention of Palestinians whatsoever from Immigration to Chile. Since I've found some sources on the topic, I'll start up (unredirect) the separate Palestinian article once again. But I don't think that "Palestinian Chilean" is a good title --- there's no one using this title besides Wikipedia. "Palestinians in Chile" might be more appropriate. cab (talk) 14:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Is there much of a Lebanese population? I know there is in Argentina and Brazil, but not sure about Chile.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I dont have sources yet, but I would guess that libanese are the 2 or 3 largest Arab community in Chile after the Palestinians and perhaps also Syrians. Yet, Brazil and Argentina have much larger libanese and syrian communities but Chile have more Palestinians.Dentren | ^Talk 17:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
