Deletion of African american men in computer science

Comment: into a single list of African-American computer scientists, and delete all non-bluelinked entries. The low representation of African-Americans in computer science is well-known, problematic, and not likely to be difficult to find sources for (e.g. Google gives me 100k hits for the exact phrase "African-American computer scientists"). The low representation of women in computer science is also well known, problematic, and easily sourced. But it's not clear to me that when we start intersecting categories like this, that we still have notability: what are the issues that specifically affect African-American men in computer science, but are not common to African-American men in other STEM fields, or to other African-American computer scientists? And where do we list the computer scientists who don't identify as part of the traditional gender scale (if any of those happen also to be African-American)? Additionally, with many unsourced redlinked and unlinked entries (and many more people that could be added), we have issues with  and . Incidentally, these lists are currently far from complete: several additional names can be found by searching Wikipedia for the phrases "African-American" and "computer scientist

Comment: My reading of  is that notability applies to the list as a whole, not the individual entries.  So the notability, or lack thereof, of any of these people on either list is not relevant; which negates many of the deletion arguments made here.  I can't see how BLP applies to a simple list of names; they aren't biographies and contain no potentially libelous information.  The topic is one that has plausibly been discussed as a group in reliable sources.  Whatever technical flaws that remain with the lists are fixable over time: the lists |have potential.  Further, the nominator states "An argument could be made for an article to generally discuss the underrepresentation of African-Americans in the Computer Sciences Industries".  While this isn't the end of that process, it is a part of that and a list often serves as the backbone for creating relevant articles around a topic.  Some of these names may lead to future biographical articles (not, I repeat, that that is necessary under Wikipedia policy).  I would say that extends the "has potential" argument from just the two lists under discussion to the entire topic group that may, potentially, exist one day
