Reliable sources don't appear to treat Horn Africans in the US as a single group, and the material here is amply covered by Eritrean Americans, Ethiopian Americans, Somali Americans, History of Somali Bantus in Maine, History of the Somalis in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, etc. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:30, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The term ‘Horn Africans’ seems to be some sort of neologism and the author has strung together valid and well-sourced information into a kind of synthesis which is not justified. As far as I can see ‘Horn Africans’ is not a term used in any of the sources. The information in the article may be merged into Somali Americans etc as appropriate.

Delete. Per above. Usage of of "Horn Africans" in this context is not supported by reputable published sources. Article also fails notability guidelines. --Kzl55 (talk) 19:30, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with African immigration to the United States. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 00:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no given source verifies WP:V the scope of the article's scope, therefore it may be unsuitable as a standalone article. A Thousand Words (talk) 07:57, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, The idea built in the article does not deserve to be deleted but lacks a lot of work, better merge to other related articles like African immigration to the United States. Alex-h (talk) 09:59, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete ~~"Horn African" as a term seems colloquial.~~ Article looks to be WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. No results for "Horn African" from an Ngram search. No results from a "Horn+Africans" Jstor search.--Goldsztajn (talk) 16:21, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some usage of the term "Horn African" in academic works (eg Journal of Oromo Studies and 12 uses in Seeking Salaam: Ethiopians, Eritreans, and Somalis in the Pacific Northwest (2011). However, article remains WP:SYNTH.--Goldsztajn (talk) 10:33, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
