Gallery of Native Americans with facial hair

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm not convinced this is a valid article- the does seem to be a potential discussion about facial hair and native Americans, but I don't feel that it deserves its own article, and especially not an article which is effectively a gallery of images of native Americans who happen to wear facial hair.

 * Delete Though it has a slim possibilty of being an actual article, this is essentially a page of random images are Native Americans with facial hair that is trying to correct a mis-conception.  БοņёŠ ɓɤĭĠ₳₯є  22:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep or merge. I think this is notable enough a topic for its own article, or at least merging into another article. However, I don't think it should be a gallery. It could be a proper article with a small gallery in it, but a gallery like this (even with an introduction) isn't that useful. There only need to be 2-3 pictures of native americans with facial hair to get the point across. -kotra (talk) 22:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge - I think any relevant info should be merged with Indigenous peoples of the Americas. I don't know how much there is really, but it fits better there. TN ‑ X - Man  22:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Possibly also a basic description could be merged into Stereotypes of Native Americans. -kotra (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - this is not an article. Aleta  Sing 22:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I notified WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America of this discussion. Aleta  Sing 22:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete My first reaction was "oh, good lord". The article (and I use the term loosely) did not improve that perception. This would absolutely fail as a category under OVERCAT, and I really don't think that this qualifies as an article either. It is possible that an article could be constructed about this topic, but this isn't it.  Horologium  (talk) 22:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. You have got to be kidding. Let's start with WP:NOT a gallery, and continue on with, exactly why is this even remotely encyclopedic? If it's meant to address a "common misconception" this can be handled with a single line in some article relating to Native Americans. You don't need a gallery of pix to belabor the point. 23skidoo (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I had to laugh at the title alone. Come on.   Corvus cornix  talk  23:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge written content to (surprisingly short) facial hair article. The obvious WP:NOT applies to the gallery. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 00:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia might have a short gallery section in the article, but it is not the place for an article that is nothing but a gallery.  My suggestion would be to delete the article from Wikipedia, but create this as a category in Commons, then at the main page of the WP:IPNA, create a link to the Common's category page, as it is an interesting grouping of photographs worth noting.

 * Strong delete and list at WP:DAFT. Seriously nonsensical, trivial intersection. Wikipedia is not Flickr. Stifle (talk) 09:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Odd gallery of photos, apparently premised on the assumption that we have misconceptions about American Indians that need to be refuted; Intentions were probably good, kind of like people I've known who actually said things like "He's black, but he's really nice". A footnote in an article about stereotypes would be as far as one needs to go with this.  Mandsford (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. KleenupKrew (talk) 11:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Faith (talk) 19:34, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Atomic Delete I'm sorry, but this is the strangest article I've seen in the AfD discussions. Ecoleetage (talk) 20:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
