Kashubians
This appears to me to be much too narrow of a topic to warrant having its own page. — UDScott 00:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not keen on the idea of having a single-quote page on a topic. However, I don't think an article on a particular ethnic enclave is inherently too narrow of a topic to cover. Wikipedia suggests that this group has between 50,000 and 500,000 members, and is found almost entirely within Poland. My first instinct therefore is to merge this into Poland, unless and until enough quotes are added to justify having a page on the topic itself. BD2412 T 00:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think the topic is inherently too narrow, but a single-quote article on such a topic is too narrow. BD's merge suggestion makes sense, but I don't know whether adding quotes about ethnic subgroups to articles on nations might, as a general proposition, lead to problems. Alternatively, the author of the quote is more than notable enough to have his own page, and I don't think it would be problematic to start one with a single quote. ~ Ningauble 16:43, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that the author deserves his own page, and expect that I could find more quotes by him. Alternatively, there could be a page for "Ethnic minorities", though that might be controversial.--Arthurvogel 08:36, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose we could have a page for Ethnic groups arranged something like our page on Flowers. BD2412 T 14:39, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it would work better as a category or list. Noting the length of the Berber people article, e.g., and remembering the "Macedonia" debacle, it might not be a good idea to throw all the quotes about ethnic identity issues into one page. ~ Ningauble 16:47, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't throw all quotes about flowers or birds into one page either. If a particular kind gathers enough quotes to justify a separate page, it goes to a separate page. BD2412 T 23:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It could work well enough. I just have a subjective impression, possibly due to an excess of cynicism, that it could get ugly. ~ Ningauble 17:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think we can handle the ugliness if and when it arises. BD2412 T 20:21, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
