Pakistanis in Portugal

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

A messy essay with too much original research and no references to support the article. Warrah (talk) 13:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only sorry it didn't qualify as a speedy. Deb (talk) 19:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the bit that refers to Pakistanis is unsourced and essayish, and the only sourced bit refers to Muslims in general and not Pakistanis in particular. Also, there are about 200 nations on Earth and therefore about 40,000 possible articles of the type "X'ians in Y-land". Most of these will not be particularly notable and this one is not.

Delete - Unreferenced WP:OR, and makes some rather sweeping and/or offensive statements in places. Like most of the aforementioned 40,000 combinations, there's nothing particularly notable about Pakistani immigration to Portugal (not to my knowledge anyway, tell me if I'm wrong). Reads a lot like a WP:HOWTO, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 20:18, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per nom. I searched in English and Portuguese, but couldn't find any scholarly coverage at all, and very little popular media coverage ([1][2][3], and articles about individual Pakistanis which don't generalise to the group as a whole) --- not enough to write an encyclopedia article. Perhaps a sourced subsection could be added to Overseas Pakistani, but seeing as this article doesn't have any reliable sources, a merge doesn't seem appropriate either. (Actually I'm surprised by the dearth of coverage, since e.g. Pakistanis in Spain is a reasonably well-covered topic). cab (talk) 10:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also it's worth mentioning, recently there are a lot of completely unsourced new Overseas Pakistani stubs. Something like 12 in the past two weeks. To the small number of editors who are creating all these stubs: please source your existing articles rather than running ahead and creating new ones. Thank you, cab (talk) 10:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
