Americans (ethnic group)[edit]

delete as inherently misleading and original research. This article has more tags than a department store sale: 2 merges, 2 cleanups, 2 warnings, and 1 no-sources. They will not go away anytime soon b/c Americans are not an ethnic group. I should also point out that this is the second (and last) article by User:Cameron Nedland that I've nominated. I do not think that he is a vandal -- his edits on other pages are generally quite good.--M@rēino 17:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the re-direct I guess someone already re-directed it and deleted all the content that everyone was voting on. The re-direct should be deleted as well: it's misleading and arguably racist: why are Americans always limited to Native Americans and/or United States of Americans, etc? And I'm not sure that all Native Americans consider themselves of one grand ethnic group, especially the Na-Dene. Carlossuarez46 23:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Adammathias (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) changed this to a redirect. I've reverted the change pending this AFD. No vote. Stifle 00:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Does not conform with ethnic group criteria as Americans are not an ethnic group.Tombseye 21:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
