IS this article necessary? We could have a "Mexicans in ____________" article for every city. It seems excessive to focus on omaha —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.78.99.216 ( talk) 06:29, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
I reiterate, WP's guideline on notability is "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." That presumption proves the viability of this article. – Freechild ( ¡!¡!¡!¡) 23:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Freechild, would you be open to having one article that addresses all the ethnic history of Omaha? Personally, the Balkanization of courtries is not something that I favor or think should be encouraged. More importantly, however, I think that that notability is not present in any of the current articles or any of the other proposed articles for Omaha. I am not picking on Omaha, I was a resident for several years in my youth, but there are 18,000 cities in the United States and all of them have an ethnic background. Very few of them would be worthy of individual articles, but all of them would be worth having an article regarding their ethnic history. I hope you recognize that we are seeking to improve Wikipedia. What are your thoughts? -- Storm Rider (talk) 20:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Freechild, you have exactly hit upon the problem with this proposed breakdown of ethnicity in American cities and primarily Omaha, Nebraska. The article states they came, they worked, they practiced their religion, etc. In essence, they lived in the city; there is nothing of note, nothing unique, no significant impact that is any different from other immigrants to this country. The contribution of immigrants to American is the life-blood of the history of the United States; nothing that I have said should be interpreted as to minimize that impact. My contention is that wikipedia is better served by a single subarticle to the main article on Omaha, Nebraska that focuses on Ethinicity. In doing so readers will be better served and we will produce a more powerful article. -- Storm Rider (talk) 03:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
The references you have presented, at least the one we can review, contend that Mexican Americans today do not wish to assimilate. Because the article cited an Omaha family the reference was used to represent just Omaha's population; that would be a misrepresentatoin of fact of the analysis itself. More importantly, this reference supports the contention that this information is better suited to the subject as a whole and not just for Omaha, Nebraska. The topic is more important than a single city and should be presented as such. -- Storm Rider (talk) 07:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
In one of your references, I read that in 1900 Hispanics/Latinos were about 22% of the population and in 1990 (or today?) were about 26% (as I recall), but you have data above that says 2.9%, which sounds really low. Is this accurate or a typo? I'll try to find the other reference, too.-- Parkwells ( talk) 03:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
The article needs to have population numbers in total and for each of the groups. It is too difficult to try to understand what's going on. In the population section you don't have numbers, but percentages, with nothing to apply the percentages to. In one place the article says there were 20,000 families, but not total number of people.-- Parkwells ( talk) 03:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
In one place the article says that Southside Omaha gets four visits a year from the Mobile Consulate out of Denver; in another place it says that Mexico has an Consular Office in Omaha, and gives the address. Are these both true? How do they relate to each other?-- Parkwells ( talk) 20:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
