This is way to close to a dictionary definition (with a lousy historical overview) followed by a list of arbitrary examples. Drmies (talk) 22:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete / Create disambigutaion page in it's place - seems like there are enough related titles to warrant this and also make sure it isn't expanded. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 01:49, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep entry is clearly not a dictionary definition. Seems to be off to a good start covering and important and notable subject. There are whole books addressing these issues such as Un-American Hollywood and this one So we see the term being used and discusswd over many decades.

Delete- highlighting arbitrary occurrences of the term being used is not a strong showing. The plastic bag ban? I don't even vaguely consider that notable, let alone the fact that someone called the event unamerican. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:36, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dabify. I agree that the current content is WP:DICDEF. Both UnAmerican (band) and House Un-American Activities Committee seem possible as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Cnilep (talk) 05:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete & create a disambig page as suggested above. The current article is mostly OR, including sections such as "Anti-immigrant discourse 'Un-American' "(?). Appears to be an indiscriminate collection of unrelated incidents. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:41, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
