The result was not-delete, in that AFD ultimately has just two possible outcomes, and this definitely isn't a delete. The question of whether to merge, redirect, or perform other editorial actions can be taken further either on the article talk page or directly under WP:BOLD.

White Genocide

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article lacks specific focus. The term 'White Genocide' is really only mentioned once in the introduction, while the rest of the text includes a brief recount of this article followed by random census data of Armenians and their command of the Armenian language, with no reference to the term 'White Genocide' or its definition whatsoever. In fact, only one of the 19 sources addresses the term. A Google Books search provides various and often contradictory definitions for 'White Genocide', so the point of this article is quite unclear.

Merge into Armenian Genocide This was poorly written by some folks that want to POV push, but yes, this is an actual topic of study.[1][2][3][4] These sources seem to agree that the genocide consists of Armenian assimilation into Europe and the Americas. I think merging this content into Armenian Genocide would be better. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:45, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have added new sources and have rewrote a little and completely removed the problematic section. --Երևանցի ^talk 06:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If this article is merged, I request that the redirect be protected in order to prevent white supremacists from writing an article about white assimilation. Such claims have been repeatedly inserted into the article. Andrew³²⁷ 12:08, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Yerevanci's edits have brought focus and removed that unnecessary census filler from a legitimate subject. If the article is merged, I second Andrew's request to protect the redirect. Blackguard 21:07, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect -- What is described is not a genocide, according to any normal definition: the word measn the killing of a people, usually mass murder on account of their ethnicity. It is a case of what typically happens to refugees, who successfully settle in safe countries. In the case of US, this is a typical case of the melting pot nature of the country. A merge leaves a redirect. This will certainly need to be edit-protected against those pushing a white supremicisit POV. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - to Armenian Genocide or (going out on a limb here) Armenian diaspora, as the article mentions more than just the Armenian Genocide. There is still not enough information to justify its keeping, especially as "adding sources" included having some sentences with up to seven references at the end. One reference at the end of a sentence? Absolutely! Two? If you need to justify a point, sure! Three? Depends on the case! Seven? Never necessary. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 17:57, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
