Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Racism in Latvia
Although the article has now been expanded, the issue of  remains. This article tends to conflate discrimination with racism by mentioning issues of religious and language discrimination which isn't necessarily racist. Even the Latvian branch of European Network Against Racism, which this article cites, in the section "Who is experiencing racism" of its report "Responding to Racism in Latvia" states: ''"http://cms.horus.be/files/99935/MediaArchive/pdf/Latvia_EN.pdf There is no conclusive evidence that the larger ethnic minorities are victims of discrimination"'' and it goes on to mention a few surveys of attitudes to Roma, Africans and Asians, but there is nothing notable that would justify a standalone article. Looking at the article itself, the section "Racist crimes" doesn't discuss anything because there isn't any racist crime in Latvia. In the section "Racism in politics and media discourse", the two specific instances relate to politicians accusing each other of "racism", but accusation and fact are two different things. The section "Evaluations of the scale of racism" sums it up the problem with this article in a nut shell, there simply isn't any notable racism in the country, certainly not sufficiently notable for a standalone article. Therefore a merge to Human rights in Latvia is still warranted
