White feminism

This is a textbook example of a personal essay. While it has plenty of valid points, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research. Unless some sources can be utilized which specifically discuss "White feminism" as a distinct topic, this article should be deleted. Kaldari (talk) 23:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless (a) someone provides a reliable source for the phrase "White Feminism" as a distinct construct and (b) the whole thing is rewritten from a NPoV. Even with that, it might be better as a section (sections?) in Feminism. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 02:34, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The gist of the article seems to be addressing racism within feminism. Perhaps the article could be changed to something like Racism in the feminist community, along the lines of Racism in the LGBT community. If so, the article could be re-written to address the racism, not "white feminism". Just a suggestion. Vis-a-visconti (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The topic of racism within feminism is already covered somewhat at Black feminism. Kaldari (talk) 05:03, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've been trying to rewrite this (being far from an expert) and finding my writing to be an inversion of the black feminism article. There are lots of source mentions of white feminism but I'm having trouble getting a handle of a real definition and what unique aspect this article could add to the topic of feminism. I do think that it is worth figuring it out. heather walls (talk) 08:18, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a section about race in the Feminism article. It might make sense to add some material there. I imagine there are lots of mentions of 'white feminism' in various sources, just as there are lots of mentions of 'misguided feminism', 'feminist conspiracy', and 'feminist agenda', none of which are actual encyclopedic topics.

Merge to Feminism#Black_and_postcolonial_ideologies which mentions this general topic and/or most relevant article from Category:Feminism. Too little info for article but fact that some have used that term in criticism is relevant to larger article. CarolMooreDC 18:41, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge back into Black feminism, for which this appears to be a content fork. Bearian (talk) 19:21, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
