Genetic Native Americans

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

delete, the premise of this article is flawed and the content makes very little sense. The concept of "genetic Native Americans" is not one found in WP:RS literature. The article seems more intent on making some kind of WP:POINT. Its statements, where they are not contradictory, are either unsupported orig research ("fabled to have a significant amount of native blood" etc) or WP:SYN (none of the cites given actually address the statements being made). Several cites make no mention at all of genetic markers typifying or identifying Native American ancestry, it's simply not addressed. There is no basis to have an article here, we already have substantial articles on indigenous peoples of the Americas, Native Americans in the United States, Aboriginal peoples in Canada, etc. I don't see there's any useful, non-redundant info here that needs merging into those others. cjllw ʘ  TALK 12:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment It was one of those "native americans are superior" hit and run pieces that get brought up in ultra left wing circles --Cleave and Smite, Delete and Tear! (talk) 19:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per reasons given here. here's the "tell": using the word "blood" to refer to genetic ancestry in an article about a presumably scientific idea. "blood" is a colloquialism with no scientific meaning. unsalvageable, unnecessary.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 23:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Possibly WP:FRINGE but certainly not something that needs its own article outside Native American. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:53, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think that we have an article about what are described as the | Indigenous American mtDNA haplogroups but perhaps one can be written by someone with a working knowledge of genetics. Mandsford (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
