Comment: I was inclined to comment that it was close and needed more citations as shown in the table but the line in the article that states "Since the numbers continually fluctuate and membership can be difficult to define, as well as sourcing issues, the main list is the List of contemporary ethnic groups" I find it difficult to justify that this would make an acceptable article at all. If there are citations to those numbers, then they can be included in the prior table, if there aren't then their estimates don't belong in Wikipedia. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish) 18:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
