Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of the Hmong in Merced, California
Firstly the argument "Considering that we don't have parallel articles for Fresno or St. Paul Hmong (where there is a much stronger Hmong American presence)," is faulty considering  as a guiding principle. If you can find sources about a subject, then it has an increased likelihood of notability. ''If'' one can find sources to write parallel articles like Fresno or St. Paul, then, yes, one can do so. Also, Fadiman's book was the first such source, but it's not the only one. I also found an academic journal article about the Hmong health care in Merced ("The Hmong and Health Care in Merced, California") and also a journal about culture ( "Hmong Language and Cultural Maintenance in Merced, California") - So that makes three specifically about the Hmong in Merced. Then I am trying to get newspaper articles about it too
