Diasporas are not inherently notable. I see little coverage in independent, reliable sources of the diaspora. There are 195 countries so there could be 38,025 of these; not all of them are inherently notable. I see no issue with a redirect to Albanian diaspora after consensus has been gained.

• Keep. The television program cited as a reference seems to be the in-depth coverage that established notability, and the people on the list in the article are individually notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The IPS and OECD sources cited are both about a particular wave of Albanian refugees coming to Norway. I cannot understand what that 30-minute news program is about. I am not opposed to the idea of an article but there has to be a little content and some sources identified to be a Wikipedia. My standards are low, and about 3 sources talking about 3 different topics (3 sentences, 3 citations) is my usual minimum expectation. This article is not there yet. Almost none of the content here is matched to citations. We have a quality standard to uphold and it would take a lot of work to get this article up to our low standards. If someone does that work I could change my vote. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep if it's improved. If the numbers are correct then I believe there is a considerable number of the Albanian community in Norway. Such articles are all over wikipedia, so if it is improved with reliable resources then it can keep it as well Bes-ARTTalk 19:08, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have added a ref and cleaned it up a bit. The nominators 38,025 argument is compelling. I note there is no Norway section on Albanian diaspora. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 03:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
• Comments: I removed the unsourced "Notable people" section and list of names that was BLP violations and original research. This may need relisting for more discussion because at present I am inclined to swing to Delete. Otr500 (talk) 12:28, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi, Otr500. I have no great love for such lists, but I thought while borderline it was standard on such pages. I asuum inline citations would be a good start, is anything else needed? I am leaning towards merge with Albanian diaspora. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 18:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)).[reply]

Hello, I share the lack of love. If anyone wants to add some names I don't have an issue but they can't be just dropped names. I stopped after randomly picking three, Bajram Ajeti, Bersant Celina, and Mërgim Hereqi. The last one claims Kosovan-Albanian descent in the lead but is unsourced and the other two have no mention of descent so sourcing would be important. Twenty thousand immigrants may or may not be a threshold for notability to a country and the slippery slope could be new lists of any minor immigration to all countries. A main concern with the list of notable people, not backed by sources, that their families might be war related immigrants or actually just migrated or "moved".

• Redirect this poorly sourced page to Albanians in Scandinavia, where a subhead already exists. Among the problems on thia page is source#2, an old article about Norway accepting 700 temporary Albanian refugees. Are they still in Norway? several European countries have sent their temporary Balkan refugees home. Note also tha the # cited at Albanians in Scandinavia for Norway is only ~11,000. Better to consolidate this brief, ill-sourced, paltry page to an article where knowledgeable editors may have a better chance at bring it up to snuff, and keeping it up to date.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:52, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect Merge the good text if any with Albanians in Scandinavia and make the page a redirect as above. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 20:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)).[reply]

• Merge Albanians in Scandinavia would be a great place to cover this information. Reywas92^Talk 21:20, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect: Alright with merging anything salvageable. I don't know if User:StraussInTheHouse's figures are correct but a poorly sourced article would be grounds for the poor but often cited other stuff argument for potentially hundreds of like articles.
