Anti-Germanism
Starting discussion for new user White Guard, who was unsure what to do after finding the previous (incorrect) nomination of the same name. His/her reasons for deletion given on the talk page were:
 * "I do not understand the purpose of this article, or in what manner it contributes to an understanding of racism. In the examples given hostility towards the Germans was born out of the specific circumstances of World War II, and was not historically transcendental. It was also directed towards the German state of the time, no similar hostility being directed towards Swiss Germans. Stalin's ethnic purges, moreover, embraced all suspect national minorities, including the Crimean Tartars, and not just the Volga Germans (who, incidentally, could NOT speak German in the standard sense). The mass relocation of German citizens in 1945 was part of a political process arising from Yalta, and not the result of 'anti-Germanism'. This entry is thus in violation of every encyclopedic concept." JPD (talk) 09:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete unless sourced. The concept is a POV, but could be discussed in a NPOV manner if it is the view has serious prominence. I don't know enough to judge whether this POV is worth covering. I suspect not and at the moment there are no sources at all to support keeping it or to clean it up. JPD (talk) 09:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the entire article is covered by the (considerably larger) article Anti-German sentiment, which also seems quite pointless (why aren't there articles for anti-british sentiment or anti-polish sentiment?). If we don't want to delete it, then merge whatever's useful with Anti-German sentiment. Ultra-Loser Talk Comparison of BitTorrent sites 09:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else. Moreschi 10:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
