[edit] List of mulatto athletes

Delete. There is no way this list could be kept up to date. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 ^{talk contribs Email} 07:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• I am also nominating the following articles for the same reason. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 ^{talk contribs Email} 07:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • List of mulatto actors
  • List of mulatto actresses
• Strong delete for all the reasons listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mulattos. hateless 07:39, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. The term "mulatto" is considered by many people to be a disfavored word. See the discussion at Talk:Mulatto. --Metropolitan90 07:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• "No deletion". The strongest points of a subcategory is the ability to breakdown a category that holds a massive amount of information. 'Mulatto' generates an extensive amount of information and people who fulfill that category. Mulattoes do not make up a signifigant amount of the population, just the entertainment culture. Excluding a mix such as this can almost be seen as discriminatory, as you are allowing certain mixes to qualify for catergorization and others not to.Americanbeauty925 07:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. per nom. -Will Beback 09:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Why not delete List of Americans or Category:Albums while we are at it. Neither of those can be complete either and I could probably name 90% of the lists and cats we have too if we're gonna use that reason. We should aim to have lists and cats as complete as we can, but it would nonsensical to think we can keep it up to date on the short term. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:LIST - this article is unfinished is a terrible rational for deletion. WilyD 13:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to List of multiracial athletes. It's a less offensive name that serves the same purpose. — RJH (talk) 15:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete (or rename to "Multiracial") I think List of multiracial people is enough. As for the current List of Mulatto, that should be deleted per the above-mentioned AFD. "Multatto" is seen by very many as an offensive term, and, not to mention, out dated Mad Jack 19:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all and rename according to RJHall. I think you need some subdescription list otherwise List of multiracial people can get too overbearing. Agne 20:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete A mulatto has one black parent and one white parent. That was possible to determine in the 19th century, but in the 21st century few African-Americans are 100% African, so their offspring with a white person would not be a mulatto. The list includes some mulattos and others of varying fractional African heritage. Edison 21:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete All, badly named and dupe lists. A nearly identical article was already deleted, so this should be speedied. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mulattos. Crumbsucker 00:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, a bad article idea. Punkmorten 21:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - 'mulatto' is described in the Encarta dictionary as a 'taboo term'. Not suitable as a title. List better as a cat anyway. BlueValour 18:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
