Ethnic stereotypes in popular culture

Although the title of this article may initially give off an air of notability, the content is completely worthless and highly original research. Take for example, the List of significant stereotypical characters in film which is just a random collection of what some people consider "stereotypical" characters without any text to support it. Further, we already have the article Ethnic stereotypes in American media which works much better. Bulldog123 13:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Upon first reading the article, it seems as though it is legit but when looking at it from the point of view of WP:OR it is definately more of an essay as outlined in #3 under WP:NOT.  Plm 209 ( talk • contribs ) 13:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both - hopeless original research, unresolvable POV problems. Shalom Hello 14:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both per everyone. Some of the examples given aren't even stereotypes! -- Charlene 16:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete both per all.--JayJasper 19:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Alrigh, Delete the first one and Keep the second one. I agree with Bulldog that the American media article is far better.  It's not really fair to lump a decent article in to your nomination on a crummy one, especially since they were started by different authors, and the second one appears to be an imitation of the first.  We wouldn't have this "keep both", "delete both", "delete one, but not both" crap if this was confined to one article.  I hope the administrators can see that piggybacking is inappropriate in this instance.  Mandsford 00:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete because there is just no way to make the list WP:NPOV; what are the criteria to get on the list? Article does not really provide insight on stereotyping anyhow. Capmango 00:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both per nom & most of above. Carlossuarez46 00:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all obvious POV fork, but also delete all ethnic stereotypes articles.-- Sef rin gle Talk 06:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm curious about the proposal to delete all ethnic stereotypes articles. Stereotyping isn't something to be encouraged, but one can't pretend that it doesn't exist or that it never has.  Even supporters of politically correct policies need to be aware of what to avoid. Mandsford 12:52, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
