Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Obama family (2nd nomination)
first of all, clearly notable per  and . There is significant coverage about this subject in hundreds, probably thousands, of reliable sources.  In substance this is a subject serious people want to read about in order to improve their understanding of the world - they take note, here, via publications, and off Wiki.  That meets the substantive criterion of notability.    Second this nomination and other nomination discussions of Barack Obama's family member articles have an inescapable POV problem.  Some people clearly do intend to either suppress information about Obama because they don't like the candidate, or because they do like the candidate and see the African ancestry and Muslim faith of some of his family as potentially embarrassing.  They have said so directly, evidenced this via a pattern of edit histories, or said this in the negative, accusing the material of being a POV problem / coatrack they want to correct.  But even discounting the motivations, systematic and persistent deletion of information about the candidate's family background has a POV effect whether intended or not.  It suppresses information about Africa, race, and multiculturalism, and perpetuates the fact of Americans denying and hiding the less urbane side of their diverse identities.  Third, the information here is the result of a "merge" result from other AfDs.  There is no other logical place to put the material that would not result in a similar article so the outcome of a delete would best be to re-create the child articles, which would lead to a procedural Snafu.  We really should get over this nonsense and stop attempting to delete important encyclopedic content from the project
