Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White Ghanaian (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to Demographics of Ghana. Though there have been some arguments for keeping the article in this discussion and in the previous AfD debate, none of them have been based on Wikipedia's deletion policy, and so I have placed very little weight on them in my decision. After looking at the "delete" and "merge" !votes, I see a weak consensus to merge. (Ignorant Armies's !vote is for "delete", but seems to be arguing for a merge.) I would like to caution the participants that only material that can be cited to a reliable source should be merged, however, as all material on Wikipedia must comply with the verifiability policy. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 16:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Renominating as not notable; more input needed. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 03:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to Ghanaians of European ancestry There was a previous Afd here less than 1 day ago already. A suggestion to rename this article was made and I think this is reasonable. This is my final comment on this AfD. --Artene50 (talk) 05:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * How do you address the issue of there being absolutely no sources that support the notability claim? How do you support your rename, where are your sources for that? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:14, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I participated in that debate and my delete nomination still stands. I agree with the nominator. The notability of this article is questionable as stated in that discussion. In my opinion, that discussion was perhaps closed too soon, and a rather quick decision reached. If the closer believed concensus was not clear, perhaps relisting would have been better than closing. I was also surprised it was closed the way it was and was thinking of making a query to the closer, but I've been busy. In that respect, I can understand why the nom decided to renominate.

 * Comment: There are some people of European ancestry in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe. All I'm saying is that one shouldn't deny their existence because they do exist. If those in Ghana are called White Ghanaians, perhaps a simple renaming to the suggested new article name is better. But do we need sources for their existence? I would think not in this general case when there are some Ghananians of European descent who exist. This is not a hoax. This is definitely my final statement here.

 * We need sources for someone's or some group's notability; just like last time, your !vote seems to be "they exist." I exist. You exist. As does your neighbor. Doesn't mean we are to be written about on wikipedia. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 10:02, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. No sources to suggest this article is notable. Any useful information can be merged to Demographics of Ghana (and there isn't a lot of it). Ignorant Armies (talk) 10:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with Demographics of Ghana. There is already way too much WP:OTHERCRAP listed on Wiki.  Since a "White Ghanaian" is by default a matter of demographics, lets put the stat where it belongs. Яεñ99 (talk) 12:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
