Proposed deletion of List of African American men in STEM fields


The article List of African American men in STEM fields has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * A pointy and deliberately-sexist content fork of List of African American women in STEM fields. Unlike women in STEM or African-Americans in STEM, men in STEM have not formed a historically disadvantaged group, so there is no notability in separating them out in this way. And except for a couple of redlinks, almost all of the content and almost all of the references are actually for women.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:17, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
