Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Empire
Nomination does not state valid reasons for deleting the article, other than NPOV, which is in fact a goal and not a defect. It is POV that we seek to avoid. Controversial topics as not inevitably POV. The topic of American imperialism was widely debated in the 1890's and early 20th century in the US, with Mark Twain  (not yet referenced in the article) opposing it and some national leaders endorsing it. There are numerous references. The editing process can steer this controversial topic away from the shoals of POV anti- or pro-Americanism by citing reliable sources and deleting any which fail
