Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anti-Cornish sentiment
Govynn, the articles you cited as evidence of anti-cornish sentiment being a recognised thing do nothing of the sort. The first is a report by Cornwall County Council - hardly the most objective of works, nor particularly academic. The second and third - by the same author - cover anti-cornish sentiment used for propoganda effect during the English Civil War, and a general history of Cornwall. The former is fine for a reference, if this article was about the use of anti-cornish sentiment in one period for one purpose on one occasion. Unfortunately it is not; this article seeks to set out the idea that anti-Cornish sentiment is a recognised thing which permutates society as a general feeling. The only sources of any use here show no such thing. The latter source is, of course, completely useless; again, it shows a single useage, on a single occasion, by a single person. Can you provide any sources which have covered anti-Cornish sentiment as a general phenomenon? If so, this article is useful. If not, you're essentially sewing a lot of individualised incidents together in an effort to present a coherent phenomenon, which is |not what Wikipedia is here for
