List of black presidents of the United States

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

A "list" of one that has zero chance of expansion for the next few forseeable years. –– Lid(Talk) 09:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete although you might want to rethink the way you phrase your nom. ;) JuJube (talk) 09:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, touché –– Lid(Talk) 09:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I think what he meant was that since Presidential terms are four years, the list would could not change until 2013 at the soonest (barring any significant vacation/succession of office measures)--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think the creator was carried away by election excitement. [Phlygh  t ]  10:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per above, seeing that it's only two words long, crystal-balled (a few hours left?) and amateurish. - ÆÅM «(fætsøn!) 11:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nice try, but just as we don't have lists of female or Jewish British Prime ministers, female Keepers of the Privy Purse, female heads of the Austrian state, or abdicating Holy Roman Emperors, we also don't need this list. (We also don't have the complements of all those lists, so we equally won't need a list of white US presidents either.) AlexTiefling (talk) 11:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Lists of "one" would be stupid, and Barack Obama will not officially be president until his inaguration January 2009.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:58, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete After removing the unsourced entry (which remains false for a few months as I understand American politics) there're zero entries - no potential entries - unnotable. Consider recreation in January or February, if it comes up. Wily D  14:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete As Senator Obama said during his acceptance speech in August, "I get it." However, celebrating is not a reason to create an article.  You might as well make a list of Pennsylvania-based baseball teams that have won the World Series during this century.  Mandsford (talk) 14:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete- I admit that I lol'd when I saw this. But aside from the chuckle factor, there's really no need for this article. Umbralcorax (talk) 15:09, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Funny, but not needed right now. Lists of 1 aren't viable. 23skidoo (talk) 15:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC).
