WP:POVFORK of Ancient Egyptian medicine trying to present the point of view that Egyptians were black. Not useful as a redirect. Natureium (talk) 22:40, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. It is simply a discussion of well-attested ancient Egyptian influence on medicine, portrayed as a racial phenomenon by dressing it in the fringe and irrelevant assertion that ancient Egypt was 'black' (whatever that means). Ancient Egyptian medicine is sufficient, no matter what racial category one chooses to place them in. Agricolae (talk) 23:21, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and the per lead of the article which clearly states that the notion that Egyptian contributions = Black contributions is bunk. Especially since "Kemet = black community" is patently misleading, given most scholars thinks this refers to the black soils of the Nile, and not skin color. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete – nomination statement pretty much says it all. – bradv  🍁  23:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * So I agree with everyone else but I wonder if there is any content in the section Ancient_black_influence_in_early_medicine that deserves to be merged to some other article? (The section looks to be unique in not being about Egypt.) --JBL (talk) 23:52, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , perhaps to Traditional African medicine? – bradv  🍁  00:03, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Good suggestion, I have left a note on the talkpage there in case anyone thinks it has usable content. --JBL (talk) 00:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Also the account that created this article looks like a single purpose account to create the article and nothing else. Psychologist Guy (talk) 13:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That user's very first edits identify exactly who they were and what they were doing. --JBL (talk) 15:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete -- This is a poor POV fork. The very title associates ancient Egyptians with being Black, but that normally refers to people of sub-Saharan Africa, not including Egypt.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a WP:Education project gone bad. jps (talk) 21:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
