The result of the debate was KEEP. Numbers wise, it's 3d–5k, counting Barleycorn as a keep since I am going to move it to Egyptian American. Note also that the nominator does not appear to have responded to the rewrite (but that does not discount the vote). -Splash 23:15, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Egyptian Americans

Mistitled verification-challenged vanity by User:Amoun-Pinudjem, or, more likely, a hoax. No Egyptians can trace their ancestry to the time of the 18th dynasty. Despite the claimed accomplishments, I can't find anything with a Google search. Uppland 11:19, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, vanity-hoax. Seeing as how the only lineage records that survive from the 18th dynasty relate to the nobility and all the lineage records end with Octavian's execution of Ptolemy XV Caesarion, this individual would be *astoundingly* famous if they had managed to trace their ancestry to the time of Tutankhamen. Historians and egyptologists would be falling all over themselves to view their research, and they would generate tens of thousands of hits on every major search engine, at least. As it stands, without truly mind-blowing research and references, this is a hoax. Xaa 12:35, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• A reluctant delete. There are no hits on Google, Yahoo or alltheweb for Milad Amoun-Pinudjem Sourial or Milad Sourial, and his name under either version does not show up at imdb. Seems like a hoax, to me. John Barleycorn 21:00, August 4, 2005 (UTC) If it is to be kept, it should be kept as Egyptian-American or Egyptian American. John Barleycorn 23:19, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I rewrote it. Revolución 21:42, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewritten version CanadianCaesar 22:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Regretfullly, my vote stays the same on the revised version. Deliniating every possible X-American is inviting the creation of thousands of stubs just like this one, and the page is an orphan - nothing links to it. I can see the utility in deliniating the larger X-American groups (African American, Native American, etc), but I can't see a purpose to deleting all of them, since a full list would literally be thousands and thousands of possibilities and would invite neologisms (Left-Handed American, Ethno-Anonymous American, etc). I would like to say that I think the re-write was a well-intentioned and heroic effort at saving the page, however. =) Xaa 22:54, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • A few hundred at best; many of which already exist. Septentrionalis 23:22, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Nice try, Revolución, but there just isn't enough there to keep. Regretfully delete, unless more can be added?
• Keep as perfectly good stub. Mark as stub. And move to Egyptian American, and link to it. Septentrionalis 23:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. What is the problem? -- Darwinek 07:49, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
