Talk:Thomas Jefferson and Haitian Emigration

I would like to invite interested parties to improve on this article with citations and other types of relevant contributions. Since this subject is potentially controversial, we should make generous references to primary sources and when necessary, to historians’ works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennishidalgo (talk • contribs)

I think this article has been greatly improved already. Can we take out the tag asking to wikify it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennishidalgo (talk • contribs)


 * I'm removing the wikify tag; it's now more-or-less in wiki format. But I'm still worried by the article - it cites a lot of sources, and then draws a conclusion. It's not at all clear that this conclusion in itself meets the requirements of WP:V and WP:REF. Remember that a watchword of Wikipedia is "verifiability, not truth". --Alvestrand 06:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposal for deletion
This article has serious problems:
 * 1) most of these topics are covered in other places like Thomas Jefferson and Slavery
 * 2) the article makes claims about Jefferson's pov's using very few sources (Onuf doesn't support some of the conclusions here, for example).
 * 3) most of the information has nothing to do with Haitian Emigration (Jefferson had no problem when French slave owners moved to the US, but he helped repress the liberated slaves).


 * I propose the article should be deleted.Ebanony (talk) 06:59, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The article has been merged and redirected to Thomas Jefferson and slavery. Brad (talk) 02:49, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
