This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Ethnic groups. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Ethnic groups|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Ethnic groups. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Seems to be heavy on Copy Vios, and may well mirror black Amercians. Slatersteven (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- There is a bit of a distinction between Black American and the "Foundational Black American" lineage which seems to more attached to a leader, community and quasi-movement along with its ethnic group emphasis. This distinction seems to be elaborated on in the Terminology section about its origins. Fba-warrior (talk) 17:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- All of which can be said with "Whilst black American cultural leaders are sometimes called "Foundational Black Americans"". Does it need its own article? Slatersteven (talk) 17:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, unfortunately, because there are some black Americans who do not identify as a Foundational Black American and others who do. This is also a fairly new phenomenon that seems to becoming more popular, as many Black Americans do not know of this new "identity". There are some who consider the FBAs to be a movement or a cult. Fba-warrior (talk) 18:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- So both wp:recentism and wp:not may come into play here? Slatersteven (talk) 18:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- That's my impression. I don't think it's caught on in an academic sense either. Oaktree b (talk) 20:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- The issue of academic validity has been certified more in the clarity of qualifications of what an FBA is and additionally a statement of "ethnic purpose" later expounded on in the subsections which further deviates from what was mentioned in the African American/Black American wiki pages. While those have been hyper-linked to the FBA page, the Foundational Black American page takes you to a community within a community bio, so to speak. However, labeling it a sub-community is a bit of misnomer. These are the same people with a uniquely different life scope and acknowledged identity. Fba-warrior (talk) 21:43, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete or convert back to redirect Content fork from Tariq Nasheed, which this page used to redirect to. Don't see justification for a separate page. I also removed, as is required, most of the copyright violations and asked for revdel. Did not check rest of article for close paraphrasing or other copyvios — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:51, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect (WP:TNT), even if there is a notable topic in there writing it would involve removing basically everything currently there... We seem to have a lot of OR with the reliable sources for the most part not actually discussing the concept... For example the Coates piece does not mention Foundational Black Americans, it says that the enslavement of black Americans is foundational to American history. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- That's my issue, some strange SYNTH going on, when the source talks about in one way and it's being used here in another. Not that this isn't a valid topic for an article, we just don't have enough RS to build upon. Oaktree b (talk) 20:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think the notable concept as it were also largely overlaps with American Descendants of Slavery, I am not an expert in the area though. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Newsone doesn't strike me as a RS, rest are name drops... This can easily be handled in the article about African Americans. I don't see much for sourcing beyond their website. Oaktree b (talk) 20:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The term is mostly used in regards to Covid 19 and vaccines [1] in the Black population, which is another idea, distinct from this one. There could be an article there, but using these sources here doesn't help. Oaktree b (talk) 20:12, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- This is not a term used by scholars, and a few modern references and usages do not add up to the claim made in the opening sentence. Delete. Drmies (talk) 21:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Blood purity
- Blood purity (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
"Blood purity" does not occur as a term in any of the linked articles except Fictional universe of Harry Potter (the original intention of the page as first written), and Limpieza de sangre: other entries fail MOS:DABMENTION. If rewritten as an article it would require sources, which it currently doesn't have and so fails WP:V. An alternative to deletion may be to redirect to Fictional universe of Harry Potter with a hatnote to other use(s). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Ethnic groups, Social science, and Disambiguations. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Applying the term "blood purity" to refer to blood quantum laws, half-caste status, etc., is WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH, and it doesn't seem necessary to redirect this as a concept to the Fictional universe of Harry Potter page (where it appears the concept in the HP universe is called "purity of blood"?).

- Keep. Wow, this is not a topic space I want to be much involved in. As I understand disambiguation policy, there are two burdens that need to be met. Fist, there need to be at least three valid dab topics (WP:TWODABS), and second, those target articles need to make use of the disambiguated term (WP:DABMENTION). That complicates AFD somewhat, because an article that should deal with a disambiguated topic but doesn't is an editorial issue for the target article rather than strictly a deletion issue for the disambiguation page... at least in my mind. Anyway. I don't think there's any real debate that Limpieza de sangre and Fictional universe of Harry Potter are both relevant target articles for this topic. Looking exclusively at peer reviewed journal content here, because hoo boy I do not want to do general searches on this, I think it's overwhelmingly clear that racial hygiene should also be a valid dab target,[2][3][4][5] although the article at current does not make use of this term. There's also quite a bit in the literature about parallel concepts in Japanese and Korean culture, although I don't honestly even know what the applicable extant article would be for that, if any. There is at least some scholarly use of the term in the context of the blood quantum laws[6][7] although I'll admit that's somewhat less common that its use in the German, Japanese, or Korean context. I didn't look into the Australian stuff. I've searched just about enough of this for one day. Lubal (talk) 15:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep and expand. The concept of "blood purity" (or being a "pureblood") is a big deal in the post-COVID-19 antivax community, and it is surprising that this is mentioned nowhere in the encyclopedia. It should be noted somewhere relevant, and added to this disambiguation page. BD2412 T 23:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)*
- Note: see, e.g., France 24, "Vaccine misinformation spawns 'pure blood' movement", stating "In closed social media groups, vaccine skeptics -- who brand themselves as "pure bloods" -- promote violence against doctors administering coronavirus jabs alongside false claims of mass deaths of vaccinated people"; Vice, "Unvaccinated TikTokers Are Calling Themselves 'Purebloods'"; The Edge, "Purebloods: The Anti-Semitism and White Supremacy of the Anti-Vax Movement", stating, "In September 2021, an assemblage of TikTok users anointed themselves 'Purebloods' for their repudiation of the COVID vaccine". BD2412 T 23:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have added this content to an appropriate article and this disambiguation page. BD2412 T 01:44, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This strikes me as a situation where WP:MEDRS would apply. Dclemens1971 (talk) 10:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as DICTDEF. An article on "Purebloods" in the anti-vax context would be not only a GNG pass, but strikes me as a deficiency of WP by not having it. That is not what this is. Carrite (talk) 16:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep – So many possible DAB targets have emerged in this discussion that deletion now makes no sense. The suggestions from Lubal and BD2412 for what to include seem well-reasoned. Toadspike [Talk] 09:22, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

- Keep the phrase seems to be too ambiguous to redirect to any of the (several dissimilar and notable) topics that the term could describe. The disambiguation page should remain. Walsh90210 (talk) 20:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - WP:NOTDICT "Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide." The term "blood purity" is found in different wordings ("pure blooded" i.e.), essentially meaning the same thing. Whether talking about a race of people, or a breed of animal. Go with whatever usage the source does. We don't need a DAB page to tell us that. — Maile (talk) 21:42, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep – there are multiple valid targets here, and we only need two where one is non-primary to warrant a DAB page. Fictional universe of Harry Potter and Limpieza de sangre on their own are enough to support a DAB. Content on the DAB page past that is another question, but it's not one for AFD.
