message: What happened to the list of notable Afro-Asian people?  Why is it that that list was deleted but the one for Eurasians stayed?75.50.152.47 (talk) 17:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: List of Afro-Asians

message: There's a lot of information missing from this article over the indigenous Afro Asians in the Phillipines, Thailand, and other asiatic areas. Areas like Aeta and Ati have Negritos who are, by term, Afro Asian.  I may do some research and enter it myself soon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Americanbeauty415 (talk • contribs) 04:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Indigenous Afro Asians

message: user Mayumashu has ignored previously determined consensus with his move to Blasian - previously a redirect. While wikipedia encourages WP:BOLD editing, consensus should still be considered, and bold editors should not be put off if their edits are reverted.
Afro-asian is a more universal, academic, and appropriate term to be used in an encyclopedic context. No verifiable/reliable sources have been used to demonstrate use of "Blasian" beyond certain sections of western culture.
I am taking this to WP:Requested Moves, linking to this discussion. Feel free to appropriately discuss opinions on moving it back to Afro-Asian.--ZayZayEM (talk) 23:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Agree move back to Afro-Asian.  The term is not known outside North America and is a colloquial term.  Kransky (talk) 10:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

text: The issue isn't even worth discussing - just move it back to Afro-Asian already! Roger (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Madagascar as a whole is an Afro-Asian nation with a Melanesian population similar to Indonesia or the Philipines mixed with black Africans after thousands of years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.35.183.222 (talk) 19:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The current picture in the infobox is of Tyson Beckford & Ne-Yo; both are Afro-Asian, but not properly half black and half Asian. Tiger Woods, however, is arguably the most famous Afro-Asian AND is actually half-black and half-Asian. I feel therefore that his picture should be included in the infobox.

message: The problem with these redlinked "articles" is that they don't exist, and that therefore the people noted could be anything--including non-existent in the first place. Worse, in a way they are WP:BLP violations: look at Earl Chin for instance, a person on whom WP might have an article, but here are the results of a Google News search, and I don't see (at least not immediately) evidence that Earl Chin is Afro-Asian. And who is Chris Vann? A college b-ball player from the 1990s, a yachtsman from the 1980s, or the "wildlife technician at the state Department of Environmental Protection"? I don't doubt the black-Korean heritage of Tony Rutland, but let's play safe, since these are BLPs.  Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  additional photos. 

message: A few contributors have been working to improve this article. I've tried to include ancient Afro-Asian groups. Albeit, the disposition of being black and/or African differs for each group which, perhaps, should be further expounded upon.
I will be proving further citations as well as looking into information about African and Asian relations, and possible resulting posterity, prior to 20th century.  Africans and Asians have, anciently, had trade relations.  I also hope to look into close linguistic similarities between Asian languages and some African dialects and if this might be an indicator of some ancient Afro-Asian populations in either Africa or Asia. Some of the words in these languages/dialects even translate in the similar, or identical, meanings across the continents.
I've also added the image of Jero per the above request, and hope to mention just a few (1-3) notables in each subgroup section where no notables are currently mentioned (and not just those in the entertainment industry).
I also think an image of people from each subgroup currently not illustrated would help enhance the article.
Also, I wondering if the section on the United States of America could be further expanded by addressing Afro-Asian history per state.  I get the impression that there is history, unique to each state and/or region, regarding the emergence of Afro-Asian lineages.
The introduction to the article needs to be developed, and the intro gallery could better represent the regional, historical, continental and phenotype diversity among Afro-Asians.
I like the fact that the article has evolved away from a page that mainly focused on the Afro-Asian populations of the Americas, and those in American media.
What do you think will help make this article better? Bab-a-lot (talk) 19:51, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm noticing a lot of diversity within the group that should be addressed specifically and in more detail. Would reorganizing the article in this way help? Bab-a-lot (talk) 20:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
