Completely unsourced article that's written far more like an essay, or more accurately like the outline for an essay, than like a real encyclopedia article. An actual encyclopedia article about this topic might certainly be possible, which is why I'm not just speedying it outright, but it would have to be written and sourced much better, and titled differently, than this. Delete, or sandbox to allow creator further opportunity for improvement — but it is definitely not ready for prime time in this form. Bearcat (talk) 22:29, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

• Delete for now, per WP:Original research and WP:Essay. By the looks of it, the page's creator is a student, or at least someone with an academic affiliation. A rewrite is definitely necessary though. GabeIglesia (talk) 23:52, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
• Delete, for the reasons stated in the article's talk page. ----MarkYabloko 10:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
• Keep for several reasons ... ((1)) after a review of available sources and coverage, I consider the subject to be notable (to me, WP:DEL8 does not apply): (a) here is a book published by Duke University (b) here is a United Nations publication that has a lot of detail on immigration of Latino women vs men, (c) here is an article specifically on the subject of migration of Latino women; ((2)) based on the availability of sources mentioned, the article can develop such that it will not read as original research (yes, there are possible reliable sources, so to me, WP:DEL6 does not apply). The nomination reason is unsourced, but this is not one of the fourteen reasons for deletion. Instead the deletion policy (reason #6) focuses on the impossibility of reliable sources for attribution; ((3)) this subject may seem obscure to most editors/contributors, but let's remember WP:NOTPAPER and realize that there is room in WP for articles that are tightly focused, they simply must be notable, as I consider this subject to be after my review of this nomination. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 19:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

• Delete as an essay, not an encyclopedia article. Well-sourced material on this topic should be added to Hispanic and Latino Americans. If and when the amount of material there outgrows the main article, then there might be a rationale for splitting it off into a separate article. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
