Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White Ghanaian

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was possibly rename or merge. There doesn't seem to be a consensus to delete; in fact the final "delete" comment appears to recommend renaming. There also doesn't appear to be a consensus emerging on whether the topic is notable. I observe that searching Google Books for "Ghana white European ancestry" turns up many hits, most of which are not relevant although some appear to be, so it is possible that better sources exist for this topic, appropriately renamed. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No indication that this minority constitutes an "ethnic group" and therefore fails WP:N Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 18:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Europeans are represented in numbers in Ghana. It is part of the Ghanaian populace along with Asians and of course Africans which makes up Ghanaians. It will be unwise to delete the article. The article is part of the series of White Africans and Anglo Africans. What I will suggest that should be done is to rename the article from White Ghanaian to "White people in Ghana", this will go inline with White people in Kenya and White people in Zimbabwe etc. If you now steel feel that the article should deleted Seb az86556, then as I'am the creator of the article, I give you Seb az86556 permission to immediately speedy delete this article, as there is no point in delaying the deletion with a pointless discussion process.

I don't have the tools to delete anything here, and the reason I put this up for discussion is because, well... I want a discussion. So let people chime in. I simply doubt the notability of this group; if there are sources which tell us that these decendants of Europeans are indeed a) as influential as whites in Zimbabwe (see Rhodesia) and/or are b) forming a sufficiently large and distinct group (for example Afrikaner) then yes, that would make them notable. I just haven't seen any sources that would support the claim. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 23:10, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: There are some white people or their descendents in Ghana. Perhaps this article should simply be renamed White people in Ghana to avoid any future confusion. --Artene50 (talk) 19:21, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Need refs now!!... and it should be called Ghanaians of European ancestry. Cant see how anyone can think to make an article with not one ref and expect it to not come up for deletion.Moxy (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A redirect to Ghanaians of European ancestry is fine, too. --Artene50 (talk) 23:48, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Not notable. Also nothing to move. White people in Kenya and in Zimbabwe are notable, because of the history of those two countries. That's totally different from Ghana. Tamsier (talk) 02:26, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. European people in Ghana would be more professional and accurate -- What is white?--Inayity (talk) 07:02, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
