Statistics of incarcerated African-American males

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a pointless fork from Race and Crime in the United States. Any well-sourced content can be merged with the 'Race and Crime' page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:13, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - One's decision to keep or delete this article will depend heavily on their feelings towards forking long pages into more specific articles. Personally, I believe the specification of "African-American males" is important enough to justify a fork away from Race and Crime in the United States, especially when considering that the page has had 14,776 pageviews in the past 30 days - a respectable number, and to me indicates that the subject is researched and notable enough to warrant a seperate page.

 * Merge with Race and crime in the United States as nom suggested, or move to a title like race and incarceration in the United States or something similar, where the subject can be broadened significantly. I agree that the current title is too narrow in scope to have its own separate article. Every morning   (there's a halo...)  20:29, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as per nom. This is a sheer fork of Race and Crime in the United States. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 00:27, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Statistics of incarcerated African-American males is an unnecessary fork from Race and Crime in the United States. Statistics about African-males who are incarcerated should be a sub-section of Race and Crime in the United States. Knobbly (talk) 03:50, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge per evermorning's reasoning. I'd like there to be more in this article to justify it being forked out, but since there isn't for now it seems better merged.Rab V (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly a POV fork. If it were really a page that had been spun out from a parent article due to length I would expect to see a corresponding section in the parent that had been reduced to a summary with a "main article" link to this page. That just hasn't happened either now or when the page was first forked. SpinningSpark 23:33, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: an unneeded WP:CFORK, possibly POV. The subject is already covered in Race and crime in the United States and that is sufficient. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:00, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. A content fork which is not needed and as noted subject already covered in Race and crime in the United States. Kierzek (talk) 16:51, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
