Page move and deletion of unsourced content

[edit]

A Google search shows that there are no reliable sources using the terms "Dutch Pakistanis", "Pakistani Dutch" to refer to this population. Even Dutch-language "Pakistaanse Nederlanders" gets only 14 GHits. I've added a bibliography of English sources that can be used to expand the article. Also, I removed the following unsourced paragraphs, please do not re-insert them without sources:

Most of the Pakistani immigrants to the Netherlands spoke a number of languages such as Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, English, and many more languages. Some Dutch have claimed to have Pakistani heritage, and only speak the Dutch language.

Also:

In 2007, a reported 10,000 people in the United Kingdom, mainly England, had claimed Pakistani/Dutch ancestry. The Pakistani-Dutch population were 0.9% of the Pakistani British population. Most Dutch Pakistanis immigrated to other parts of the world such as Germany, Russia, England, Czechoslovakia, and other parts of European countries. In the United States, 0.06% of the US population are Dutch Pakistani emigrants.

There is no possible way that "0.06% of the US population are Dutch Pakistani emigrants." That would be 180,000 people, which is more than half the entire Pakistani American population. cab (talk) 15:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Qalb alasid (talk) 13:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Indians in the Netherlands

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Indians in the Netherlands's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Census":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 19:38, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
