User:Grue/List of ethnic stereotypes
I realize this is on the guys user page, but a lot of the content could be construed as attacking, such as the claim that blacks are prone to venereal disease. This is just not appropriate for an encyclopedia as I see it. &mdash; Gaff ταλκ
 * Although I am nominating it, it is much for the purpose of seeing how the community feels about this article. I will hold off on voting for now. &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 02:26, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete- I'm not usually one for political correctness, but if Wikipedia's policy is 'no personal attacks', in my opinion this should go. Reyk 03:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He or she does not seem to find them to be true and I just can't wrap my head around deleting something like this from someones userpage. Youngamerican 03:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and that has nothing to do with how I feel about it. It takes a lot more cause than is under discussion here to delete a userspace page. --Aquillion 04:05, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not an article; moving to MfD. BD2412  talk 04:07, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, by the way - user space is user space, and gets much broader leeway for content. BD2412  talk 04:16, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * So its okay on a user page to say that Jews are "hated in almost every place in the world." &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 07:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If someone made that claim on the talk page for Judaism, it would stay there - this is not much different. BD2412  talk 20:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep It's important to remember to not let your emotions get in the way of your judgment. This article is NPOV (notice how some positive stereotypes are included as well as the negative). Most importantly, this is not yet an article. Grue has every right to keep this in his user space. It's far from a personal attack. Ac  e  tic  ' Acid  04:33, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I feel this article may be useful to some people (for example if you want to count how many stereotypes are encountered in some movie), so I'm keeping it in my user space.  Grue   07:15, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The list isn't a personal attack against any particular WP user (or any particular group either). It is just an insult catalog with the hope of being exhaustive.  In this context, even the insults that might be directed at me are usefully listed. Xoloz 16:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Grue is not stating a personal belief in any of these stereotypes. Like it or not, stereotypes are part of life; there's nothing wrong with cataloguing them. This is a userpage, in any event. - Sensor 23:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong keep per everyone else - in fact, this would make a good article if appropriately sourced. N (t/c) 00:49, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep it and close out the discussion. I nominated this mostly becuase I was not sure what the attitudes of WP would be.  Clearly its a keeper. &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 01:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but edit. I also believe that it is useful for some to see these entries. I like that it is so comprehensive in covering so many different groups.  However, it does need to be edited, both for content and grammar/spelling/etc.  - User:Sorria2000 26 October 2005
