'Keep - For reasons that have already been covered in the discussion when many ethnic group articles were nominated. People are still improving articles, and this one obviously hasn't had a chance. I also believe this article is much more important than some others as it represents a significant number of people from a current overseas territory that have migrated to the UK, there could even be more Montserratians in the UK than Montserrat. other things that could be added to the article are the refugees after the volcano erruption. Please do NOT nominate another article.Stevvvv4444 (talk) 19:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Let us do the math: There are about 8,000 Motserratian British people out of 60,000,000 British people. That means that this ethnic group constitutes 0.00013% of the British population. That is not a large enough number to have significant coverage as an ethnic group Tavix (talk) 20:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- There are roughly 200 countries in the world, and roughly 40,000 ways of combining any two of them. Unless there is something more to be said than "There's people from Montserrat living in Britain", there's no call for this article. Reyk _YO! 21:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it seems that the topic isn't important/noteworthy enough to be covered. Punkmorten (talk) 21:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
keep Montserratians in Britain are a notable community; the volcanic eruption which caused the mass evacuation has generated a good deal of news content verifying their presence and making them notable - this paper and this paper look reliable as a source of information on Montserratians in Britain. Two more:Respiratory health of M'ians in UK, UK-based M'ians help improve football team (slightly) - not a lot, but enough to establish notability and add some content to the article.

Keep, perhaps a small group in UK, but after all the largest concentration of Montserratians in the world, more Montserratians live in UK than in Montserrat. This group has thus to be quite notable in Montserratian society. --Soman (talk) 23:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm convinced by the argument that the group is notable because it is the largest Montserratian community in the world. I'd therefore like to withdraw the nomination. I've added the claim to notability to the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
