Talk:Armenian Americans

message: I propose this page be moved to "Armenians in the United States" to go in line with other Diaspora pages like Armenians in Canada, Armenians in Lebanon etc. I will go ahead with the move if there is no opposition. - Fedayee 05:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A separate article should go for that since, this is more of ancestry or ethnic related for example, Chinese American unless we can rename this. Nareklm 05:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, I see what you mean but wouldn't it come to the same thing? They are both Armenians living in the United States and like other articles don't have "Canadian-Armenian" etc, it just redirects to Armenians in Canada... - Fedayee 05:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Move

message: I suggest to change the word "proven" to "debated" or "disputed", because nothing has been proven about the Armenian Genocide. In fact both Armenian diaspora and Armenian government are avoiding a scientific research by a Turkish-Armenian joint committee to prove or disaprove the so-called genocide.
:I'll——respectfully———disagree with the suggestions and aspersions cast upon the Armenians' claims regarding the genocide. However, the phrase is unnecessary and cumbersome here. We do not speak of (or need to speak of) the "historically proven existence of the Boston Tea Party" or "the historically proven existence of Atatürk," for example. Use of the phrase is both a red flag, and, I suggest, a suggestion of weakness on the part of those using the phrase, where no such weakness exists, nor should any such weakness be hinted at.

thread_title: US Armenians

message: I don't know anything about this topic, but I find it curious that, according to this article, "in the early 1990s, many Armenians arrived in the U.S. as refugees of the Armenian-Azeri War", which war, according to its own article, took place seven decades prior. Mike R (talk) 21:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Armenians are one of the well-known ethnic communities in Southern California, mainly the Greater Los Angeles area. I happen to know Palm Springs is a desert resort community with Armenians whom arrived as farm labor, but many are retirees whom worked their whole lives in businesses came to the Palm Springs area. Armenian-American influence in the state of California is a testament of the Armenian diaspora. + 71.102.7.77 (talk) 23:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I deleted the section about the hypnotherapist. It was just an effort to promote her book and I don't think she has any notoriety to have her picture next to the governor of california, andrei agassi, etc. I could not even find any information to suggest her organization was significant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMadisonIV (talk • contribs) 17:09, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Would Armenians be considered Caucasian people? I have heard most opinions noting they are, but someone said on Huffington Post that quite a few are mixed and would therefore be Middle Eastern. 108.93.72.117 (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

message: *Suggest including I waited 6 days before weighing in hoping others would respond first.  I tend to weigh "doing significant useful things"  more than "degree of famous-ness"   but she is so immensely famous that even with that weighting, it would still come out with recommending to include her picture in the collage.

thread_title: Survey

message: (BTW I had planned to just facilitate the RFC without actually commenting.   But when it went 6 days with no respondents, I commented to try to start the process, which is what happened.)  
The RFC has run for 30 days and the bot just removed the template.  Regarding arguments/points made, no policy / guideline aspects were discussed and I believe that they are not in play here.  So this is a generally matter of editorial discretion.   Many of the arguments emphasized that she has not done significant things, and that she is very famous, (and those two statements were not contested.)  So it became a matter of editor discretion and editor values on whether or not to include someone which is very famous but who has not done significant useful things.  
5 persons supported inclusion of her image in the collage and 3 persons supported exclusion. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
