Keep Article as it exists provides a list of communities ranked by percentage, with an appropriate source provided. Criterion is provided and is rather specific. Alansohn 06:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Then it should be moved to "List of U.S. cities by percentage of Polish population". Large is inherently subjective. --Eyrian 06:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'll leave the title up to you. The content establishes notability and provides a clear and objective criterion for inclusion. Alansohn 06:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on the precedent established by the related articles in Lists of U.S. cities with large ethnic populations. We should either keep them all or keep none, and I think the choice should be clear. Yechiel Man 09:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: While a precedent has certainly been set, the fact remains that there are literally thousands of ethnicities in the world. How many of these kinds of articles do we need, and what purpose do they serve exactly? Wikipedia is not a directory or a travel guide. --Nonstopdrivel 19:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cleanup I haven't a clue what the numbers next to the cities mean, they are different in each category. I am also not sure why they are grouped the way they are. Is it looking at Poles as a percentage of the population or as a raw total number? It needs to be a table with total number of Poles and the percentage of Poles, in just one category. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 16:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There are now two separate lists one by Polish population, one by percentage. Alansohn 19:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
