[edit] Boliguayo

The new section that discusses racism against other Latin-Americans should be joined with the Boliguayo section, or vice versa. These two sections discuss the same issue. Binksternet (talk) 21:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

The content and history of "White Argentina policy" has been merged into this page per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White Argentina policy. I have gone ahead and deleted the associated talk page, as the discussions there would (theoretically) have little use here. --jonny-mt 11:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

  • I feel that this "merge" with the White Argentina policy article has significantly degraded the quality of this article. The added text duplicates information that was already there (for example "Invisibilization" was already addressed in the section on White Argentine racism, 3rd to last paragraph), the added text is mostly unsourced, and it is poorly translated to the point of being incomprehensible.

The merge was done in line with the AfD linked above--my job was simply to merge the page histories to satisfy the GFDL requirements and put the existing text in what appeared to be reasonable locations in the article. Feel free to add to, change, or delete the merged content through the normal editing process. --jonny-mt 03:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok I get it, dump and run. Vrac (talk) 03:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
You got it! I did my best, but I can only do so much while maintaining the neutrality required to perform administrative actions. The version of this article before the merge is still present in the history (for that matter, it should be fairly obvious based on my edit summaries)--you could even be bold and revert to the version before the merge if you want (although, as always, there's no guarantee that it would stick). Nothing about the AfD close dictates that the newly merged content must be included here, simply that the content was not suitable in an article by itself and that, if there is a place for it, this article is it. The rest is worked out through the normal editing process. --jonny-mt 04:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Jonny why did you merge the article into Racism in Argentina? I presented several sources backing up the article I even proposed to change the name of the article because as I said people have never heard the name white argentina policy though its nearly the english term for Ideas demograficas argentinas[1] Please look at the article this new merge does not fit here, the part (here "white european racism") deals about the immigration policy not a european racism, in the same part of the article we find with the "Racism against latin americans" in which this has clearly nothing to do with white european racism. I think the merge of the article "White Argentina Policy" into "Racism in Argentina" instead of clearing certain facts it has confused nearly all the article. --Fercho85 05:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Simply put, there was no consensus to keep the article--the vast majority of commentors cited trivial or no coverage, a lack of notability for the term. If you disagree with my call, you are welcome to take it to deletion review, but given the overwhelming number of calls for deletion or merging I believe your time would be better spent trying to integrate that content into this article. --jonny-mt 08:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
