Eurasian (mixed ancestry): I don't think this article is worth saving.  -- Licks-rocks ( talk ) 18:25, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Ethnic groups-related deletion discussions .  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:37, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] delete this article is at best a wp:synth disaster— blindlynx 19:22, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - Synthesis-laden article about an archaic term, which was not notable even in the era when it was in common use; nothing substantive to be found.  -- Orange Mike | Talk 19:49, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete with a note to preserve some sort of version to be used as a textbook example of when TNT is appropriate. Horse Eye's Back ( talk ) 20:02, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] should i revert my blanking of the disastrous Central Asia section of the article so we can keep it as an example? — blindlynx 20:50, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] we can just grab the version from prior to your salvage attempt if we want to, so I don't think that's neccesary. -- Licks-rocks ( talk ) 21:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete WP:TNT .  Galobtter ( pingó mió ) 21:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as absurd.  A bizarre concoction of multiple unrelated topics, laced with the remnants of racist pseudoscience, thrown together by contributors (sadly, there seems to have been more than one) who have taken Humpty Dumpty's approach to the alleged topic: When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less. ' AndyTheGrump ( talk ) 02:35, 1 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete and salt .  "Bizarre concoction" indeed sums it all up.  And there is nothing salvageable even in the case of genuine social groups that formed as a result of racist colonial policies in the past (e.g. Filipino mestizos or Kristang people ), because we  a) already have useful articles about them, so there is no need for pisspoor content forks (those galleries!) plus  b) assembling them here into a broad article only works under the POV of racial essentialism, as these groups are not "biologically" linked.  – Austronesier ( talk ) 10:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete.  The premise of the article ( The term has been used in anthropological literature since the 1960s. ) can't be supported by a source from 1960.  It seems bizarre and inappropriate to list all of these living people with their photos as examples of what appears to be a long-obsolete racial category, Rjjiii ( talk ) 23:53, 1 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete There's too much inherent WP:SYNTH in the premise of this article for it to ever be coherent.  Hemiauchenia ( talk ) 00:57, 2 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Asia and Europe .  – Laundry Pizza 03 ( d c̄ ) 03:57, 2 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] User-draftify and salt There is no way this exact page should exist, but there is a lot of sourced information that may be useful at one of the many articles noted as main articles for subsections of this one, such as Anglo-Indian people or Multiracial people .  Sennalen ( talk ) 18:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That's an interesting variation of "Merge", since it means to distribute the salvageable material to various articles.  I don't disagree with that if there's really something that is still lacking in the main articles.  I only looked at the SE Asia part and couldn't really find anything, but it might be different in other sections.  Draftifying without the option of restoring the page might help to prune through it without haste.  – Austronesier ( talk ) 19:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
