The result of the debate was Keep, it turns out that Americans of French descent actually redirects to this article, so I'm going to leave it as is and leave it to the editors to decide which article should redirect to the other. --Deathphoenix ʕ 21:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of French Americans

Americans of French descent page is a more extensive list of French Americans. Unecessary to merge the two. Need to erase this one as everyone listed is also listed in Americans of French Descent. Also need to categorize Americans of French Descent page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_of_French_descent Abdelkweli 16:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect but shouldn't Americans_of_French_descent be named List of Americans_of_French_descent Ydam 16:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect as per Ydam. Travelbird 16:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect yep i changed my mind, let's just redirect List of French Americans to Americans of French Descent. Abdelkweli 16:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep no need for this redirect and no encyclopedic value in "Americans of French descent" Mad Jack 23:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep 'List of French Americans' matches the naming pattern used for the 100+ 'list of xxx Americans' articles. There is no reason to change this article and no reason to make this article an exception to the name pattern. Since none of the articles involved were tagged in any way, I made these changes prior to noticing this 'delete' entry. Thanks Hmains 22:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• """" is there a way to recover the talk from the original page? Now they have been merged it just appears I've been removing people from the list for no reason! --Charlesknight 23:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I recovered the talk. It's there now. Mad Jack 23:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
