Croats in the United Kingdom

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No content beyond population size and a list of a few people who might fit the definition of Croats in the United Kingdom. Article makes no claim to notability. Previously considered for deletion, but alongside two other articles which have more content. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Don't delete - there are links to Croat groups in the UK showing their activity. There is a small community in the UK, and they have links with various figures important to Croatia. The authors Marcus Tanner and Robin Harris, for example. The latter received an award from the Croatian government. Then you have the footballers and so on. The community have also held major events (run by the Croatian Students and Young Professionals Network and places like the Greater London Assembly and the Royal United Services Institute (for national day) - those are arguably the most prestigious venues for National Day events held outside Croatia. A small community, but relatively influential. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.139.104 (talk) 20:20, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You've added some unsourced material about Croatian associations but there is still nothing to establish notability. Have these events you mention received coverage in third-party sources? And I fail to see what Marcus Tanner and Robin Harris have to do with it. They're British writers who write about the Balkans, not Croats in the UK.
