Racism in Oceania

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

Oceania is far too broad a geographical region to write a useful encyclopedia article on all local manifestations of racism. On the macro level, very little has been written about racism in Pacific Islander cultures. There are a few good sources available on Racism in Hawaii, but this has nothing in common with other western societies such as Australia and New Zealand. Ottre 04:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and split. There is nothing linking racism in, for example, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia. What’s the common thread? “in Oceania” is just made up for convenience. Where is a reliable source on "racism in Oceania"? Far more sensible would be to put these into separate country articles. On a related note, such country articles (ie, Racism in Australia need to cover broad strategic topics rather than become a list of events of alleged racism – but that’s another point and not the topic of this AFD. Thanks for taking the initiative Ottre. --Merbabu (talk) 06:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Since Racism in Australia is already a topic, and the article says next to nothing about Racism in Fiji, the author might want to drop everything except the parts about Racism in New Zealand (which this redirects to.   Many of us think of Oceania as the place that had been fighting a war with Eurasia until 1984, then started a war with Eastasia and had never been at war with Eurasia.

 * Comment - I created this article out of a larger one - racism by country or something. Also similar ones for most other continents. Antarctica is really a hotbed for racism, what with hitler owning the south pole and all. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Rm content about Australia and Fiji, and move to "Racism in New Zealand", where the content might be improved and referenced.- gadfium 21:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is a coatrack article written to enable editors to express individual opinions of single isolated events. Its also a topic of borderline original reasearch as there isnt any sourcing to demostrate that the concept exists outside Wikipedia. Gnangarra 10:41, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Split into respective articles. --  李博杰    | —Talk contribs email guestbook complaints 09:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
