Racial Suppression

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

Orphan personal essay by SPA, and not an especially well-written one at that. NPOV problems, too. THF (talk) 13:49, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * delete the contents of the article does not really relate to the (miscapitalised) title. and this subject is already covered in other more relevant articles. Jessi1989 (talk) 14:15, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure what to do with this one. While the article is poorly written and has NPOV issues (i.e., placing undue weight on the lack of action on behalf of the federal government following the civil war) and also some stuff that comes across as OR (has anyone really linked the KKK et al to lack of enforcement of "black rights"? It sounds surprising, as I would have thought stricter enforcement of such laws would have led to even more hostility), it also has redeeming points that could potentially be merged to African American history. It does seem like a lot of work to save them, though, and I personally don't know enough about this period of history to do it.  Whatever happens, however, the article cannot remain.  So consider my !vote to be delete unless somebody offers to merge what little of the article is worth keeping. JulesH (talk) 14:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as fork of Reconstruction_era_of_the_United_States and its child article Disfranchisement_after_the_Civil_War. Baileypalblue (talk) 15:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
