Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dead white males
This seems to be a -y nomination to me. Even a cursory search of google news for "dead white (men OR males)" turns up a number of sources (http://rossdouthat.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/09/the_canon_wars.php http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20070914.STUART14/TPStory/TPEntertainment/Theatre/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-lakeland/how-to-think-and-how-to-a_b_67126.html  http://communities.canada.com/nationalpost/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2007/09/25/jonathan-kay-from-a-17th-century-soap-opera-lessons-for-modern-historians.aspx). Further, any search of literature (via google scholar for the same term) turns up a plethora of sources (http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=mBIQXe34WWMC&oi=fnd&pg=PA1&dq=%22dead+white+(men+OR+males)%22&ots=drgw4mfUf6&sig=OzVcSKa5pMOsXtZ8-yVMXDpd8S8  http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0891-2432(199702)11%3A1%3C88%3AHMABGT%3E2.0.CO%3B2-M https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF02695359, to choose 3 more or less at random). A need for sourcing or cleanup is not grounds for deletion. (PS: My rationale for calling this POINT-y isn't a PA, my reasons are shown in this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FDead_black_males&diff=163227396&oldid=162608627| diff
