more unsourced cruft from the creator that can be included in the target article, Immigration to Italy PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:53, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

I do not feel any need for you guys to delete this article. There are other articles like this on wikipedia AmericanEditor350 (talk) 20:22, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
See other crap exists for that argument. Theroadislong (talk) 20:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
The articles like this on Misplaced Pages are Nigerian people in Italy, Senegalese people in Italy, etc. That’s what I mean by articles that are like this. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 20:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
But those articles have problems similar to the problems of this article. None of them have much prose content, and they have very few sources cited. If this article gets deleted, Nigerian people in Italy and Senegalese people in Italy might be brought up for deletion, too. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I wanted to let you know that I found information from a book saying that the International Organization for Migration recorded 25,000 people from Guinea living in Italy alone in 2016. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 12:29, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete - this is simple WP:OR from a very few sources. There is no encyclopaedic value in articles like this unless reliable and independent sources have discussed a particular diaspora as having significance. Pursuing this line of thinking might result in articles such as Bostonians in Iowa or Alaskans in Texas. Sorry but no. Just no.  Velella    15:23, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete. The only things cited in this article are statistics about the number of Guinean immigrants in particular years and the total number of Guineans in the country, but these statistics are mixed together in the article as though they represented the same thing. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

    Here is an example of the problems with this article. The infobox claims that the total population of Guineans in Italy in 2017 was 9,604, cited to Mixed Migration. However, that report says that 9,604 Guineans arrived in Italy in 2017 (actually, it has a monthly breakdown which omits December, so 9,604 would be the arrivals from January through November). The same source says on the same page that 12,537 Guineans arrived in Italy in 2016. Hence, 9,604 could not be the total population of Guineans in Italy in 2017 unless all the other Guineans who had arrived in previous years had already left the country. The population/migration figure are mixed together without distinguishing between whether they are measures of total population or migrants in a single year, and those are the only sourced statements in the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
