List of people of mixed Japanese and Korean descent

Nomination for speedy deletion as recreation of article previously deleted at AfD (see previous AfD discussion) was declined by an administrator, but as before, this article is still a meaningless list which corresponds to the "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations" section in WP:NOTDIR.

 * Strong delete as clear violation of WP:NOTDIR per nom. Also note that consensus in the previous AfD discussion was clearly that the article should be deleted, on the basis of its subject and not its content, therefore the fact that the article is now better written is irrelevant. Also, why not toss some WP:SALT on it, too? Lists of this sort will never have encyclopedic value. Ivanvector (talk) 04:35, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete it's just plain difficult to verify such a list to encompass all possible WP articles that fall into this. technically 1 Japanese or Korean great great grandfather would qualify a mixed heritage person onto this. this is almost impossible to verify.

 * Delete and Salt This list is of absolutely no value, and by all practical means has no chance to become encyclopedic - WP:NOTDIR,WP:IINFO,WP:V.  Blodance  the   Seeker   07:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-encyclopedic cross-categorization.  Anna Lincoln  10:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot see any notability. --DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and WP:SALT. Tasty, tasty salt.  JBsupreme (talk) 21:22, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep How is this any different than List of Mexican Americans? Before anyone says "that's the other stuff exists" argument, I'll point out that we have an entire Category:Lists of American people by ethnic or national origin.  I don't see giving Japanese and Korean ancestry a different standard of treatment than we would accord to any other group. Mandsford (talk) 22:09, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The difference is, "Mexican American" = "American in nationality and Mexican in origin". "mixed Japanese and Korean descent" = "mixed Japanese and Korean in bloodline". They are two entirely different things. As you can see, some of the people in the list are actually American in nationality - so how do you prefer to call them? "Asian-American" or "Japanese-Korean-American"?  Blodance  the   Seeker   02:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
