The result was   snowball/speedy delete, this article has no potential for neutrality. The "heroes" title leaves much room for subjectivity, with many unverifiable "arguably the greatest in [topic]" statements.  Jamie ☆ S93  02:53, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

List of black historical heroes

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

This is an unverifiable, original research list and possibly has a non-neutral point of view. For example: It is pretty obvious why Martin Luther King, Jr. on the list, but why is James Edward Maceo West a black hero for inventing a microphone, while Willie O'Ree (broke the color barrier in the NHL) or even Rosa Parks isn't on there. I could go on, but the list seems very POVish to me... Tavix | Talk  19:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Very much POV, will never be neutral. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
