- Redirect to Malaysian British for a list of notable British Malays. - RD (Talk) 12:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect. Per ReviewDude's comment. TopGearFreak Talk 13:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I started to boldly redirect and close this AfD, but are they quite the same thing? Malaysians are from Malaysia but Malays aren't, necessarily. Black Kite 18:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, Malays are an ethnic group, Malaysian is a nationality. Not all Malaysians are Malays and not all Malays are Malaysian. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:54, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Malaya is a part of Malaysia: all residents of Malaya are residents of Malaysia, although not the other way around (somewhat like all residents of Scotland are residents of the UK, although not the other way around). Nyttend (talk) 16:03, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This isn't about Malaya as a place though, it's about Malays as an ethnic group. Not all Malays are from Malaya. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Decisions are made based on what this article contains. Since it mentions Malays from a variety of other countries, it's clearly implying Malays as an ethnic group. - Two hundred percent (talk) 09:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct, and the article fails to make the case for why Malays in the UK meet the notability guidelines. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
