Black-Africans in Australia[edit]

undefined term as stated by the article, WP:SYNTH a conglomerate of information to advertise http://www.africanoz.com.au. and a POV Fork of African Australian. Previous incarnations of the article were at Black Australians, Afro Australians Of African Descent Gnan garra 00:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Serves no purpose and seems to be somewhat streesing the word "black", which may have racialist conotation. All the incarnations should function as redirects to African Australian. The Ogre (talk) 00:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I see Black Australians is a dab page. Good. The Ogre (talk) 00:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per the tag on the article, to African Australian. Same concept; better name. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 03:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment merge what?, with the exception of African Americans were stationed in Australia as US soldiers and sailors during the Second World War and Vietnam War, allowing opportunties for then predominantly white Australia to come in contact with a new and different ethnic group[3] all other sourced material is in the article. The only other information not covered is the unsourced WP:SYNTH There is no clear definition of what constitutes being an "African Australian" (or "Afro-Australian"). Along with indigenous Africans who were born in Africa, the term could encompass people as disparate as Caribbean British, African Americans or Cape Malays who with an African upbringing or family background have chosen Australia as their new home. The Australian Bureau of Statistics records people according to their birthplace and their self-described ancestry, although aggregated data for Africa is split between "Sub-Saharan" and "North Africa and the Middle East".

Delete as a unneeded articles, for a subject already covered in African Australian.-- danntm ^T _C 21:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, would appear to be an unnecessary fork of African Australian. Nothing in this article that isn't in that one. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC).[reply]
