  • Keep. There's no difference between this article and a stub. The stub saves people the trouble of having to visit Wictionary and from the danger of not finding out about it at all. Primetime 07:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand it to cover the history of the concept, notable Africanists, controversies and the like - just like the hundreds of other articles about occupations, which are already more than dictionary definitions. Calsicol 09:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Africanist is not merely a dictionary defination. --Ezeu 13:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC) See below. --Ezeu 23:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to African studies, which, because of our systemic bias, does not yet exist. u p p l a n d 14:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Move per Uppland. It annoys me that 'African studies' does not exist. --Ezeu 23:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: What to do with the related article Africanism? At present it is a dicdef which is already included in Wiktionary. Punkmorten 19:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • A difficult one. I say redirect to 'Africanist' if it survives (or to whatever it is renamed to), and explain the difference there.--Ezeu 23:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
