Doesn't have any sources. Seems made up. Correct map is on Wikipedia as File:UaFirstNationality2001-Fr.jpg

I'd like to keep this graph, because it has a higher level of information. The Zygel diagram talks about the majority (the winner takes it all), while the Yerevanci diagram has more nuances: mostly vs predominantly. Moreover, the Yerevanci map talks about an ethno-linguistic map which comprises both ethnicity and preferred langugage.
If you say that the references are missing, this is not an argument for deletion, it is an argument for improvement. The easiest way would be to contact User:Yerevanci if he could add information about the source of the file. Or other users recognize the map as well and can add the source. I personally don't assume that the information is nonsense, because - apart from the less nuanced depicting - both diagrams say the same. --Gunnar (talk) 10:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here are two similar maps, from Stratfor and The Observer. As shown in this language map, there is a benefit in giving a nuanced scaling (mostly A, predominantly A, predominantly B, mostly B) instead of just majority A vs. majority B. The Kharkiv oblast has a majority of 53 % Ukrainian speakers and the Odessa oblast has a majority of 45 % Ukrainian. But you do not see a half-blue and half-brown pattern in the district structures of the oblasts, as the majority approach neglects the in-between scales. --Gunnar (talk) 15:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion; if there is a problem with the map, fix it. holly {chat} 23:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
