The result was delete. The general consensus is that this article not only currently fails NPOV (which is not a valid reason for deletion), but that the nature of the subject makes that problem fundamentally unfixable (which is). The only "keep" argument does nothing to refute this. Seraphimblade Talk to me 06:55, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR WP:UNSOURCED WP:CROSSCAT of language family (Slavic languages) and geography (countries where the majority of the population is a native speaker of a language which belongs to the Slavic langue family). These are then linked to an arbitrary group of nationality-based diaspora articles, ethnicity-based diaspora articles, and diaspora articles which are a mix of nationality and ethnicity. For the sake of argument, I will assume that "ethnic Belarusian" etc. means "a native speaker of Belarusian", and therefore a native speaker of a Slavic language. Under that interpretation, all nationality-based articles shouldn't be in this DP, because that includes all people with Belarusian nationality, regardless of what their native language is. E.g. Lithuanians in Belarus who move to, say, Karakalpakstan, are part of the nationality-based "Belarusian diaspora", but not the ethnicity-based "Belarusian diaspora". But even if we purge it all and only keep the purely ethnicity-based diaspora articles, there is a long series of precedents which have confirmed that language family is a WP:NONDEFINING WP:CROSSCAT.
