Jamaican Brazilian[edit]

Yet another Brazilian ethnicity article with no significant content. The only source refers to the one person who is cited in this article as an example of a Jamaican Brazilian. But that person is a model who was born in Jamaica of partially Brazilian descent -- she's not a Jamaican Brazilian as defined by this article. This article is supposed to be about people in Brazil of Jamaican descent, not the other way around. I could find no sources about Jamaican-descended people as an ethnicity in Brazil. Consequently, I recommend a delete. Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per all the reasons given in all the other X Brazilian debates. These are getting ridiculous. Vickser (talk) 06:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above (Vickser). All the recent XXX Brazillians should have been speedily deleted. It's OR and not encyclopedic. Rasadam (talk) 08:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- per nom Astrotrain (talk) 12:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The only person uses as an example is actually a "Brazilian Jamaican" as opposed to "Jamaican Brazilian" Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 12:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Factual errors can be corrected. No need for an AfD. --Cup22-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 11:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Valid stub. The article needs improving, not deletion. --Unknown789-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 11:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or redirect It need either improvements or redirect it to a certain page regarding or related to foreigners in Brazil. Troy86 - 11:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. I bevelie there are some jamaicans living in Brazil. You can find a jamaican in almost every country. check Jamaican diaspora. brazil is much like the United States, a melting pot of people from all over the world. Blackable2323 - 11:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think anyone doubts Jamaicans live in Brazil. But the article is WP:OR that tries to make the subject notable. Have there been any published works talking about the history of Jamaicans in Brazil, or some significant historical impact they've had on Jamaican or Brazillian culture? The article makes no such claim to this, and neither has anyone suggested this. Rasadam (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete along with all the other X Brazilian articles as OR. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 09:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and getting tired of it how many of these do we need to endure? Argued, consensus reached, and closed. The "cross-cultural reference of the day" bit is getting very tiresome and is distruptive to Wikipedia.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I never read about a significant immigration to Brazil by Jamaicans. According to that article, the total population is not known. Its funny how that article list Karin Taylor, but if you look at Taylor's article, it doesn't mention Brazil. It just mentions Jamaica (her birthplace) and the United States (were her career began and currently lives). Lehoiberri (talk) 21:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
