Europhile

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article and sources consist of (1) a dictionary definition and (2) a single example of the word used in a sentence. There's nothing here that Wiktionary can't cover. Prod was disputed. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:30, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agreed. This is a very wikitionary page and not very encyclopedia like.--Awesomewiki64 (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The current page is a stub and, per WP:DICDEF, "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary entry". The page would be easy to expand from sources such as this or that, which analyse Europhile attitudes to Europe in some detail and so demonstrate the notability of the concept. Andrew D.

Keep There are many other articles with similar ethnic themes as this article, and feel mere dictionary entry would be insufficient. Min al Khadr (talk) 14:07, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep little more than a Wiktionary entry right now but this could be expanded into a proper article. Curro2 (talk) 16:45, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
