Keep We have articles about minor communities in many countries.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 15:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but in those cases, the group has generally received academic/journalistic attention as a community (rather than as background material in the context of academic/journalistic attention to an individual notable person who happens to be a member of that nationality group). cab (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Apcar family in Japan. This is a perfectly good biography which suffers from being forced to masquerade as an ethnic group article. The Apcar family are notable and their branch who ended up in Japan seem like a reasonable subtopic given the various newspaper colums & academic journal papers about them which this article already cites, and more which can be found on GBooks. (And if some people feel there's not enough, they can always propose a merger).

However, per WP:NOTINHERITED, one notable Armenian family in Japan doesn't make Armenians in Japan notable as a community; there don't seem to be any non-trivial sources which address the Armenian community in Japan as a whole outside of the context of the Apcar family (not surprising, considering how few Armenians there are in Japan). cab (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
