[edit] Black French

Black French (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

List putting together completely uncomparable things in a confusing manner. Intresically without merit and POV. Rama 14:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Kind of arbitrary physical distinction to group people together. No more meaningful than people from Spain with blue eyes or blond Argentinians. Why would this be useful to anyone? ~ Infrangible 21:17, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Afro-European. Slippery-slope tells me that combining a random ethnic color with a random country will generate thousands of these articles that are arbitrary at best. the_undertow ^talk 21:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• delete or redirect but do not let a list of footballers and pop stars which have nothing in common and whose "blackness" reflects totally different origins and realities. Rama 21:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I think its a trivial intersection to create articles that mainly lists famous people of a certain religion Corpx 05:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete. 100% WP:OR, and a totally meaningless intersection. Must go the way of List of atheist Nobel laureates and similar which were deleted en masse recently. --Targeman 16:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and above, and as listcruft. Borderline racism. Bearian 20:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I am a black frenchman and would like a page dedicated to people like me, so fuck off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.140.233.16 (talk • contribs)

A few hints:

• IP are not counted. If you want your opinion taken into account, you should register an account (and have a significant number of contributions)
• Courtesy will actually help making your point stronger. We tend to value the expression of opinions where the strength comes from the content rather then the words.
• Lots of people are this and that, and refrain from making lists based on arbitrary juxtaposition of traits. Rama 18:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - At first I thought this was African French, but alas. Anyway, Romanian-French, Chinese French, Koreans in France are all better because they add context and discuss current issues. A similar article about African French could exist, but as a list, I don't know. Smmurphy^(Talk) 04:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
