Native Texan

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No assertion that this is somehow a notable term, a real cultural identification, or more than blend of dictionary definition and semi-disamb page. We do not need articles for Native ~insert state here~ for all 50 states, and Native Texan is no more notable than Native Alaskan (which redirects to Alaska Natives, i.e. Native Americans in Alaska) or Native North Carolinian. The band mentioned isn't a notable band that could meet WP:MUSIC, so I don't think this article could be changed to focus on them either. Collectonian (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This article is sourced with reliable source such as Texas Monthly. Bhaktivinode (talk) 01:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A dicdef + an uninteresting license plate + a non-notable band does not make an encyclopedic article. Quale (talk) 07:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Texas (Texan already redirects there). The reference to the band is unnecessary and can be pulled. We do have Hoosier, but that article discusses the development and application of the term itself in great detail. As far as granfalloons go, this one need not be a daughter article until it's fleshed out. Dekimasu よ! 10:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
