Burma/Myanmar has had only one Nobel laureate to date, who is well covered by List of Asian Nobel laureates and other laureate lists. So Burma/Myanmar is probably not the best country for a special list. Being a nominee is not all that important and even here the list is short. The references support the data in the article on a case-by-case basis and do not support WP:LISTN. No objection to a redirect to List of Asian Nobel laureates per WP:ATD and WP:CHEAP. gidonb (talk) 14:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete microscopic list, only one true entry and a small handful of “almost” entries which isn’t the point of the article and is just undue padding in a list this short. Dronebogus (talk) 15:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Asian Nobel laureates as suggested by the nomination. I agree that nominees do not belong on the list, and a single entry obviously doesn't warrant a separate list when one with a broader scope exists. If anybody finds any high-quality sources that actually analyse this subset of Nobel laureates in-depth (cf. List of Jewish Nobel laureates), ping me and I'll reconsider.
