Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/African american men in computer science
per  -  As noted previously, this page was created as part of the White House Edit-a-thon https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/02/24/today-join-us-our-first-stem-heroes-edit-thon Lost History of African Americans in STEM fields with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Tue Feb 24.. The goal for creating the pages was not to be a list for the sake of creating a list but to be an article/list about individual African Americans in Computer Science, per se but on the group as a collective. Thus, it is the grouping of the members in the broader context that is notable. The purpose creating separate pages was to have the women's list include mention of intersectionality and issues that are unique to individuals who are women in a male dominated field and African Americans.  There are numerous articles on the topic https://www.aacu.org/peerreview/2014/spring/reality-check, http://web.mit.edu/cortiz/www/Diversity/1975-DoubleBind.pdf. The National Academies Press published a report on the topic of Women of Color in Academia http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18556/seeking-solutions-maximizing-american-talent-by-advancing-women-of-color that are focused on the topic intersectionality and women of color in STEM as well as those that highlight the issue in Computer Science http://www.nationaljournal.com/thenextamerica/education/black-women-computer-science-ph-d-s-guess-what-percent-20130115, https://www.ncwit.org/resources/ncwit-scorecard-report-status-women-information-technology. Furthermore the National Science Foundation publishes a report focused on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering that includes data on minority women http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2015/nsf15311/tables.cfm. The data on the pages can be gathered using https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/webcaspar/ national databases. The page does need to be updated to reflect the importance and unique experiences of African American Women in CS.  Per , " Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable..." The articles have potential  and can be improved.  I
