Interactions concerning social groups of people in Canada and the US

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article seems to be a good example of WP:SYNTH - compilation of published materials that implies a collective conclusion, thus violating WP:NOR. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 16:09, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to another wiki. Article seems to be a combination of synthesis and a how to guide on proper etiquette. Not really appropriate for an encyclopedia but might be better elsewhere, like Wikibooks. Loves  Macs  (talk) 16:19, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikibooks per WP:NOR. May be more suitable for Wikibooks instead. ConCompS (talk) 23:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I believe my own article should be kept, but with more improvement and linking to related articles in an effort to relate what the article is discussing what appears to be an important social trend of interactions as a form of serious social and legal etiquette in the USA and Canada. I apologize if I defended myself and the article in this way, but the topic has importance in the sociological study of a diverse, multicultural society. Thank you for reading and expression of your concerns, and inform me of the outcome of the AfD decision. + Mike D 26 (talk) 10:36, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * While I'm not an expert in the subject, my read of the article is that it's a good study of the material. Unfortunately, I think it does constitute original research, which is not what encylopedia articles are intended to be.  You should look for an appropriate forum to publish your research, such as Wikibooks.  --SquidSK (1MC•log) 13:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikibooks. Per WP:NOR, this is not appropriate for Wikipedia; however, it might be acceptable over there. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 22:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki, as per above arguments. Definitely not WP-suitable. --Skud (talk) 01:16, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki. Looks like original research 86.98.152.246 (talk) 01:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing personal, but I think it should be deleted. The article was originally created by cutting and pasting from some old "Etiquette in Canada and the US" text which had been deleted because it is not what etiquette is, and is just not encyclopedic. There are still carried over bits of things in it that have nothing to do with social groups, and all large social groups are not discussed. Additionally, there are scant references other than some random citations about what latinos/hispanics like to be called. Sorry, but this just isn't an encyclopedic article and considering how much would need to change to make it one, adequate efforts towards doing so have not taken place.
