Racism in Guam

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is essentially original synthesis. The lead acknowledges, in fact, that racism is not particularly prevalent, and then the article appeals to a couple of incidents in which accusations of racism were made. There is nothing in the article to suggest that it is really a thing. StAnselm (talk) 11:35, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete If the incidents are by any means notable, they might be included in the article Guam itself. -- Fauzan  ✆ talk   ✉ email  12:46, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POVFORK. No need to create a separate home for this content. aprock (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: A YouTube video and an accusation about racism. Not exactly what I'd call WP:NOTABLE. Merge would be an option per Fauzan above, but that's only if the stuff could be verified as being worth a mention, which it isn't from what I'm seeing.

 * Keep and Improve An attempt to find better sources should happen instead. A quick search finds note of Racism in Guam, mostly towards the chuukese people. See this chapter in "Proving Chamorro": Indigenous Narratives of Race, Identity, and Decolonization on Guam and this chapter in Destiny's Landfall: A History of Guam. The article doesn't need deletion, it needs improving Drowninginlimbo (talk) 16:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not able to view the first reference; the second reference only mentions an American governor 100 years ago who is described as being racist. StAnselm (talk) 20:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete YouTube is not much of a source for anything at all -- and the claim about an identifiable living person (Asst. A-G of Guam is a living person, and a specific living person) is contrary to the requirements of WP:BLP. I am quite uncertain the "blog.heritage.com" meets WP:RS for any contentious claims at all.  Is Guam blameless? Probably not, but this article is not ready for prime time on Wikipedia. Collect (talk) 22:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Tentative Delete - Racism is an important topic and exists everywhere, so racism in Guam is definitely something that would work on wikipedia. As is, the article isn't going to work. I posted the article on wikiproject: discrimination to see if anyone is interested in taking on the task as well as the talk page of Culture of Guam. I think it may work as a merge onto Culture of Guam. If no one improves the article, I will vote to delete, but I'm hoping that someone can improve the article to meet wikipedia standards.

 * Delete per WP:POVFORK, if/when reliable sources are found then I see no problem with this being remade or redirected at the very least. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:40, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
