This is just a dumping of statistics from Statistics Canada/ Census. No indication of notability nor encyclopedic value. Fails WP:GNG. Slywriter (talk) 21:00, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Slywriter,

While the Latin American Canadian community in Canada is relatively smaller than the Latino American community in the United States (2% in Canada as opposed to almost 20% in America), the Latino Canadian community in Canada deserves a page. I’m now seeing that this doesn’t have anything to do with just the Guatemalan and Honduran Canadian communities but all of the Latino Canadians as well. The pages can be added and edited with links and articles of each associated page. The statistics are there to compare and contrast as well as for further research into the corresponding communities. All this Wikipedia page is for is to make an fairly easy research involving census data as well as adding additional data involving each associated community.

Mind you, why delete the Latino Canadian page and what’s the purpose other than the lack of links other than Statistics Canada? By deleting the Latin Canadian Wikipedia page as well as the other pages associated with Latino Canadians, you’ve practically erased one portion of the Canadian community and by erasing an entire page, you’ve made an entire community invisible by your shortsighted attempt to exclude Latino Canadians from Canadian society.

There are similar communities outside of the Latino Canadian community in which each ethnic group has similar number as low as 10,000 people to has high as 50,000 and no more than 100,000 so should we delete the Trinidadian, the Bajan, the Ghanaian and the Nigerian communities because each community doesn’t make up 1% of Canadian society? Or how about just delete the Cambodian and the Laotian community in Montreal because it’s too small for Canada? But we can add certain other communities like the Maltese and the Albanian communities and not even think of deleting their data from Wikipedia.

Before looking at the Latino Canadian page, I wasn’t even aware that Canada had a present Latino community. After reading the Wikipedia page, I was impressed that Latin Americans didn’t just migrate to America but to Canada as well and I’ve also learned that Latinos have established communities in Calgary and Edmonton for Venezuelans, Brandon and Winnipeg MB for Salvadorans, Ecuadorians in Brampton and Toronto ON, and Dominicans and Colombians in Montreal and Laval.

If Wikipedia goes along with the deletion of not just The Guatemalan and Honduran communities, but all of the Latino Canadian communities, then it looks like Wikipedia and Slywriter have committed literary genocide amongst a small, but a rapidly and robustly growing population in Canadian society. Also, if this happens, then I’ve lost faith in Wikipedia in providing fair and unbiased information for the world’s masses.

If that’s what Wikipedia wants to do, fine, but you’re doing this at the expense of a people and a group and I don’t want to use the word but it’s a very prejudiced notion to delete an entire group because of “ lack of information or lack of literary value”. I’ll have to bring this up to the Latino associations in Canada so they can read and review this literary genocide that’s about to happen today!
