Is this a list or an article? Or is just disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point? Unreferenced and unencyclopedic Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 23:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Withdrawn - someone else's problem. Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 06:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a sea of redlinks, and God knows what else. Doesn't even look like a work in progress. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Inappropriate nomination by editor disrupting edits of legitimate scholar in Native American History and Culture in violation of WP:HARRASS, WP:POINT, WP:V because his CSN and RFC failed. Please note no discussion, editor posted no comments on talk page.  Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 00:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Significantly enhanced article with Cherokee Identity Materials. Please Consider keeping these materials in this article where they really belong based upon the subject matter. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 02:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There doesn't have to be any discussion before nominating something for deletion, and ad hominem is no reason to keep a useless article. --Masamage ♫ 00:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Hipocrite and I are involved in a dispute with Mr. Merkey at Cherokee over the inclusion of groups not federally recognized as Cherokee tribes in that article (feel free to look through that pages discussion and Mr. Merkey's talk page). This page was created as an attempt by Mr. Merkey to compromise, reasoning that such material could go on WP, but not on the Cherokee article.  However, this page is becoming a sort of POV fork, as he has removed content from the Cherokee article discussing these groups and put it here (regardless of the "Heritage" aspect of the disputed content).  In my opinion, this fork does not help in our dispute, and has not been accepted by other editors at Cherokee as a satisfactory solution or even as a worthy place to add content.  However, I vote weak as a sort of discount on my vote reflecting my bias due to our current dispute. Thanks, Smmurphy(Talk) 03:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Just an update, Mr. Merkey has been banned for being disruptive. I've proposed at Cherokee to move the forked material in this article back to that article. Smmurphy(Talk) 21:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 17:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As you can see, he has been brought back, and the issue will (I hope) continue to be discussed. I am striking my vote until we come to a resolution. Best, Smmurphy(Talk) 17:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - The article, as it stands now, needs some cleanup and needs sourcing, but the concept probably warrants an article. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 20:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
