Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White British
I sense a lot of  amongst some of the deletion calls. Ethnic groups are not always as clearly defined and uncontroversial as some of the above posters seem to be implying. Take for example the above statement: "Ethnic groups are the English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh" - well for a start that's left out the Cornish! "White British" is an official term used by the census and other bodies to describe a defined group. Yes there are defined sub-groups within it - the 2001 census in Scotland had "White Scottish" and "other White British" as options - but this is the overall grouping. That it is used by several key bodies in the field (and the census classifications are used by a lot of other organisations for their own data) is evidence that the term has currency. It is clearly of encyclopedic note. If the term is contentious then this should be covered on the article, not have the whole thing deleted to satisfy one POV
