Deletion of Race and crime

Comment: Wikipedia is not bowdlerized.  Like it or not this topic is brought up often in the real world, regardless of how much distaste one may feel for even considering such a comparison.  There is plenty of information out there on this topic, but the current revision reflects information that is either cherry-picked or from |fringe sources.  The POV of the article is '''definitely''' slanted, as almost every statistic is compared to the corresponding for "White" people.  90% of the current content needs to be thrown out, which would normally lead us to delete or merge the article.  The problem is that a) Wikipedia is not censored so we can't really salt it, and b) if we delete it some racist hack will just re-create it, probably with even worse sources. (As it is some of the sources are quite respectable, just summarized shoddily)  A far better solution would be for some intelligent, well-reasoning editors to take an interest in this page and turn it into an unbiased, complete, speculation and conclusion free article.  I'm willing to chip in a bit, but it'll definitely take several editors working together to make this article what it should be.  On the positive side, it will likely turn into a good (if controversial) article. -- |Y'''&#124

Comment: This is undoubtedly a valid article topic, although I don't think lumping together statistics from various countries (not to mention continents) was a good idea.  The nom provides 7 reasons to delete, one of which (not encyclopedic) is overly vague.  3 others are obviously inaccurate descriptions of the article (not factual, lack of context, lack of verification).  That leaves: POV (inclusive of "misleading"), original research, and attack page.  This is not a blatant attack page, so that can be dropped as well.  The fact that sources exist in most cases, inclusive of this one, means this is not original research (perhaps incomplete research).  There is no "unique synthesis"--it's simply a poorly- or insufficiently-performed synthesis.  That leaves only POV, which I have never before supported as a reason to delete an article.  This time, I will |make an exception.  This article was clearly created with a POV agenda (for instance, it doesn't even mention that perceived racial effects are significantly reduced after controlling for socioeconomic status).  There are more than enough available reliable sources about the relationship between race and crime (government records and scholarly articles) to write a good article but no effort was made to incorporate them

Comment: whether this is a viable topic for WP is debatable. This is not the kind of topic where grow and expand can comply with , it's either well-researched and exhaustive or nothing at all

Comment: per nom and . There is an overpowering reek of |soap drifting from this POV nightmare. I'd rate the chances of this ever being a decent page at just about zero
