Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anti-Slavism

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. By counting the raw votes, the consensus seems to be "keep", but User:Mikkalai has responded to pretty much every keep vote, claiming that although the Nazis did have anti-Slavic sentiment, "anti-Slavism" as a term by itself is not very notable. Therefore I'm taking his comments as counter-votes to the keep votes. — JIP | Talk 19:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-Slavism

• del nonnotable term. I have no doubts that this sentiments exised and exists, but you may well sandwich virtually any notion between "anti-" and "-ism" and obtain something sensible. But this in no way warrants a separate article for, say anti-Egyptism, while I am pretty sure there were anti-Egyptian sentiments when Egypt, e.g., tried to normalize relations with Israel. As a touchstone, google gives less than 130 unique hits, excluding wikipedia & copycats. mikka (t) 23:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Anti-Slavism was very evident during WW2, when the Nazis invaded slavic countries. Our Phellap 23:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • So what? Reputable references about the notable usage of the term, please. It was plain racial superiority racism, not "anti-". Slavic slaves were more than welcome. We don't use the term "anti-peasantism" or something in reference to landlords to describe an attitude of someone who declares himself superior. mikka (t) 00:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment We have the article Anti-Polonism. Would this be a merge candidate? Or are the phenomena sufficiently disctinct that it doesn't make sense to talk about them together? --Tabor 00:43, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, seems like a notable term. — JIP | Talk 05:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Google says not. See my above reference to search that excludes wikipedia and copycats. If you have notable references from, e.g., books, you are welcome to proveide them. mikka (t) 17:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - The Nazis believed that Slavs were a much inferior race, and that gave them the right for a new Drang nach Osten--MacRusgail 20:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • But is was not called anti-Slavism mikka (t) 04:50, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
