Speedy deletion[edit]

No credibility whatsoever, and certainly not significant (or notable) to warrant a standalone article. Just because the FBI concocted the term which is a hoax by itself does not necessarily mean it warrants inclusion. There is no such thing as "Black Identity Extremism." The US calling its Black citizens "Black Identity Extremists" who are actually "Black activists" fighting against injustice, their brutal police killings, violence against them, racism and the like does not make them "Black Identity Extremist." If they are Black Identity Extremists where are the White Identity Extremists who are doing the killings, the brutalisation and racism with the institutions in place to enforce the subjugation and disenfranchisement of its Black citizens? If the Blacks fighting for their right to life, and to live dignified lives are deemed "Black Identity Extremist", what do you call organisations like the KKK who have been killing Black Americans in the most brutal fashion for decades and still continue their fascist ideology against Black Americans? This foolishness must stop. Is Wikipedia a tool for propaganda or a true encyclopedia? Maybe in the future when there are real Black Identity Extremists and covered in detail by reliable third party sources, perhaps then we can create an article called "Black Identity Extremism." For now, it is mainly a political agenda driven by those who trying to turn the issue around rather than addressing the injustice, racism and brutal killings of a particular ethic group within the United States. Also, there are Black people all around the world. Are they also Black Identity Extremist? Such foolishness! This article should be speedily deleted for the nonsense it is.Senegambianamestudy (talk) 22:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I declined the speedy deletion request but a typo led to a bad edit summary, so I'll explain here. WP:A7 only applies to "people, animals, organizations, web content, events". This is none of those, and so is not eligible. I think you'll need WP:AfD. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:13, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion Comment[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because as a FBI designation debated in media etc, the concept/phrase is not a hoax even if controversial/non-academic. --Iselilja (talk) 00:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... plenty reliable sources have written about the subject. I have found none that state that it is a hoax. If it is a hoax it is certainly not blatant. This is a misuse of the speedy deletion criteria. If you do not believe this belongs in Wikipedia you can take it to Articles for Deletion instead where a range of experienced editors will consider it. --Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 04:08, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
