Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hokkien and Hoklo Americans
to Taiwanese Americans. FYI I will be pasting the same rationale to the current rticles for deletion/Hakka Americans|AFD for Hakka Americans. The 3 academic sources I found that specifically mention Hoklo immigrants in the U.S. all said that in Taiwan and in the US, the Hoklo and the Hakka self-identify as "native Taiwanese". For example, http://doi.org/10.1002/psp.428 this 2006 journal article by Christine Avenarius, who seems to be an authority on the topic, was the most in-depth coverage I found on Taiwanese subethnic groups in the US, and according to Avenarius (with my emphasis): {{talkquote|"Immigrants interviewed for this research were...able to identify who was Hoklo, Hakka or a Mainlander among the members of their social networks. However, in their comments on social life in Taiwan and California in general, '''all informants grouped Hoklo and Hakka people together, referring to them as native Taiwanese''' (''bendiren'')...Given the small number of Hakka informants in the sample and the common practice of all immigrants from Taiwan to group both Hoklo and Hakka together under the label 'native Taiwanese' (''bendiren'') as introduced above, I aggregated Hoklo and Hakka informants in the analysis."}} In reference to the Hoklo people in Taiwan, https://books.google.com/books?id=Uw_ld2wXjo4C&lpg=PA163&ots=RRxMjGs5FF&dq=hoklo%20in%20the%20united%20states&lr&pg=PA150#v=onepage&q&f=false this source says: {{tq|"The term 'Hoklo' has never been used by people of this linguistic group to refer to themselves."}}(p.150
