Procedural nomination. There was RfD consensus in 2020 to restore this article and not have it redirect to Demographics of Tanzania, which does not mention white Tanzanians. Several editors have nonetheless attempted to restore the redirect, contrary to that consensus, and have declined to take it to AfD as is the correct procedure; thus I am bringing it here without an opinion of my own.

Delete I don't doubt that this is a notable topic, but I can't find sources to support that. This is basically an unsourced sub, I'd like to see it expanded but I can't find the sources to do that. Oaktree b (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. TY for the courtesy ping. I !voted for restoration in the 2020 RfD, because RfD should not be used to delete content. Well, that was two years ago; Demographics of Tanzania#Ethnic groups is 2 lines long, a worthless target; and the article in issue is still unsourced. No prejudice against keeping or recreation if sources are found.

Note. I have restored

WP:DOUBLEREDIRECT. If this article goes, a bot should sweep up the dangling redirect. Narky Blert (talk) 07:10, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

Delete The only source mentioned in the article is a book about writer Godfrey Mwakikagile, who is certainly no White Tanzanian. Searching that book on Google Books[1], I didn't find any results to back up anything in the article. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Probably notable but not fitting to stay on at the moment. Willing to change my vote if sources are found. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 23:12, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the nominator is correct. Lightburst (talk) 04:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
