As noted by an IP on the talk page, it's sparsely sourced. Obscure languages often don't have an established romanization scheme, so it's plausible that this doesn't refer to a distinct people. Looking up "the Tshi people" on DDG or Google exclusively gives me results for a book The Tshi-Speaking Peoples of the Gold Coast of West Africa by A. B. Ellis (1964); if they were real, I would have expected more varied results. @ Siva1979 __ Gamren ( talk) 13:26, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. A.B. Ellis book was published in 1887. The 1964 date is presumably a reprint. I added another reference: JEHLE, A. (July 1907). "SOUL, SPIRIT, FATE ACCORDING TO THE NOTIONS OF THE TSHI AND EHWE TRIBES (GOLD COAST AND TOGO, W. AFRICA)". African Affairs. VI (XXIV): 405–415. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.afraf.a099169. ISSN 1468-2621. Together with the Encyclopedia Brittanica article, I think notability has been established. I recognize that a linguistic grouping is not necessarily an ethnic grouping, but I can't find any references saying that it's not an ethnic group.
