Race (sociology)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't doubt the concept of race is relevant in sociology, but we already have a slew of articles on race, and surely this could be covered at, say, social interpretations of race. The article's structure is also terrible (a grab-bag of unrelated sources strung together to make it appear like a unified topic - ie, a synthesis), and some of its statements unprovable ("Many Japanese still believe that they did not commit as many massacres as the Western World and China said they did"; "Most Germans and Austrians are ashamed of [their Nazi past], but Hungary has yet to really face up to what it did and say sorry for it"), but the forking is the fundamental problem. - Biruitorul Talk 14:42, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

The language and illiteracy is being sorted out, but it's a bit of a Tort-snort.--86.29.143.196 (talk) 16:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep With a huge rewrite. I agree with the nominators argument that the article is all over the road, but I do find its content important if better structured.  — ASPENSTI — TALK  — CONTRIBUTIONS  00:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep: This article needs desperate rewriting/c/e, but it is certainly a page worth keeping. But as Aspensti said, it is ALL over the road. avs5221 (talk) 14:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but it does need a massive re-write. I'll work on it a bit. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 09:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
