Nationalism in the United States
Stub, unimproved for months, inaccurate description of nationalism, 99% incomplete history, apparently personal opinion, in short contains almost no relevant information on this important topic, and seems to exist solely as a vehicle for right-wing links, merge to nationalism is inappropriate since it was cut from there anyway Ruzmanci 19:56, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/cleanup - this is a hugely important topic. The article right now is pretty bad, but might provide a starting point or two for a proper article. CDC   (talk)  20:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Major topic and many worse starts have become good articlesCalJW 20:22, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep very important, don't see why this should be deleted. Does need cleaup and exanding though. -Greg Asche (talk) 21:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think. This could be the stub of a good article, but it does need a lot of work. We need a historian to work on it. (Any takers?) There is an excellent, lengthy article on Nationalism and we do have articles on Japanese nationalism, Arab nationalism, Korean nationalism, and others. I would also like to see articles on nationalism in some of the European countries. ♠DanMS 00:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand/ clean-up. It does need a lot of work to look at the development of US nationalism from the War of Independence and the Civil War to the current day. Capitalistroadster 01:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think it can be fixed. Gazpacho 02:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to American nationalism if that's what this page is going to describe, seems fine though. Christopher Parham (talk) 05:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * keep I disagree with renaming the article as per Christopher Parham. This article would refer to Nationalism within the USA proper.  To call it American nationalism is a little vague, since its becomming more common for others from The Americas to refer to themselves as American under certain contexts.

 * There has been extensive debate in the Wikipedia concerning the use of the description “American”. See the articles and their talk pages: Alternative words for American (Talk) &bull; Use of the word American (Talk). ♠DanMS 01:49, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
