The result was delete. To be clear, the discussion is flawed insofar as it argues that "Dalmatians are not an ethnic group". That is not for us to decide; Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. If people call themselves Dalmatians and this is sufficiently documented in reliable sources, we can have an article about it. But as the discussion also points out, these sources are lacking here.

To put it simply: "Dalmatians" are not an ethnic group. It's just a peculiar way to declare one's ethnicity e.g. in the official census, like Ličanin, Slavonac, Zagorac - in effect, nothing more than declaring oneself as being an inhabitant of a particular region in Croatia without explicitly saying anything about your ethnic background. I don't believe there is a reliable source which would state otherwise, therefore the article is fundamentally flawed in terms of factual correctness and is thus not salvageable.
