The result was Keep (non-admin closure). Proposals to merge can obviously be dealt with on the article's talk page, but apart from a smattering of such suggestions, the most conspicious view put forward is that this is notable. Either way, there is clearly no salient consensus to delete the article. WilliamH ( talk) 17:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC) reply
I've put a lot of thought into this. Originally I had redirected this page to South Asian American. I felt that the term ABCD had too much of a "slang"-like connotation. The discussion to perform the redirect can be seen here. The merge was supported by numerous editors. I was since informed that there are numerous sources. I checked out these references, and although they do describe the subject, I still feel there is a problem in light of WP:NOT. The term itself is a synonym for second-generation South-Asian Americans. As such, it is a sub-class of South-Asian Americans in general. The "Confused" attribute is extremely subjective. Fact-wise, the article does not provide much, and I doubt the subject will actually allow for any sort of factual description (everything is already covered by South Asian American). The only thing left is an exploration of the "Confused" theme with respect to identify conflict, which would make the article like an essay or opinion piece and therefore not in line with WP:NOT. Instead of a delete, I wouldn't mind a redirect/merge either. vi5in [talk] 16:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC) reply
