African Americans in the United States Congress
could be used for sinister purposes by racists. Arniep 23:54, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Not a valid reason for nomination and obviously a notable topic. CanadianCaesar 00:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Worthy of note. The Congressional Black Caucus article outlines current African American members of Congress. This article is a historic record of African-American members of Congress and contains a good historic section. Capitalistroadster 00:28, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep-I understand the irritation and I embarrassingly did one bad faith nomination myself.(List of agnostics, although it backfired as a bad faith nomination because I started believing what I was saying and now I think maybe it is justified to consider it) It's possible my recent adding of List of virgins could also be deemed bad faith, in that list-deleting frenzy wouldn't have made me think of it, but to be honest even when I worked on that one I thought it really was a very iffy unverifiable list. Anyway try to avoid bad faith noms and this was in clearly bad faith.--T. Anthony 03:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
