Tamil Singaporeans
Since there are similar articles like Tamil Canadians, Tamil Americans and Tamil Malaysians, I am moving the page from "Singapore Tamils" to "Tamil Singaporeans".Shankar2001 (talk) 11:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- That changes the scope of the article. Tamil Singaporeans makes it Singapore citizens of Tamil descent. The current scope is slightly different. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
- There is no such scope on Wikipedia which is generated from a single editor. The standard names should be placed according to existing Wikipedia articles where consensus is met over the time.Shankar2001 (talk) 03:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

- The term "Singaporeans" has always been used to refer to citizens. We do have foreign workers in Singapore from China and India - however they are not referred to as "Singaporeans". For example, foreign workers from China are referred to as "Chinese nationals" or sometimes as "PRCs". Singaporean citizens of Chinese descent are referred to as "Chinese Singaporeans". Renaming this as Tamil Singaporeans changes the entire scope of the article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:07, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- You've moved the goal post now to suit your stance.--obi2canibetalk contr 17:04, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
- The definition was unsourced (and incorrect) anyway. I have never heard the term "Singaporean" being used for anything other than citizens. It was somehow added to the article later, but the early versions of the article did not have this. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
Persistent removal of tags
Can you at least explain the reasons before removing the tags again. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
- They are reliable sources; if you want to defer, please take the issue to the relevant notice board. I reverted back.Shankar2001 (talk) 03:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
- Please see Help:Maintenance template removal. You are not supposed to remove them without a discussion. If you continue doing it, whether as an IP or from this account, you might be blocked for disruptive editing. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:11, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Singapore is home to about 410,000 Tamil Nadu expatriates community.[3] People from Tamil Nadu started migrating to Singapore as early as 1800s. In recent decades, thousands of people from Tamil Nadu migrating to Singapore for job prospects. Tamil Language is one of the four official languages in Singapore.[4] Singapore has dedicated Tamil Newspaper, Television and Radio station funded by Government of Singapore to promote Tamil language.—Preceding undated comment added 19:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
