The result was delete. - Mailer Diablo 07:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect I'm afraid, reading the first half of this, that I'm not seeing the problem; this is a common term, I remember the release of The Birth of a Nation DVD used it to describe its own source material, The Clansman. As there are references, I'm not seeing where the fork accusations are coming from. Is there POV I'm overlooking? CanadianCaesarEt tu, Brute? 20:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Although the article lists sources that use the term, it does not refer directly to them. Instead it's mostly tangential material about sources the author believes to refer to negrophobia, although they don't use the word. Note that the primary author has not edited since December 2005 and was uncooperative in attempts to make the article more neutral. Gazpacho 21:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yet another insignificant and silly elucidation. See also the variant, Afrophobia. --Ezeu 22:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect (either to racism or racism in the United States, not sure), term clearly exists as shown by badlydrawnjeff. As the article is not about the term, but about racism, I don't currently see the need for a separate article. Or rewrite the article to be about the term, in which case this comment turns into a "keep by badlydrawnjeff" automagically. Kusma(討論) 11:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to rewrite it tonight to at least be a decent stub, but the question is "should this subject have an article." Even if what's there currently is crap, it doesn't preclude a not-crap article. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since the article discusses no verifiable instance of "negrophobia" except the title of a novel, it would have to be nearly blanked pending a rewrite. Might as well delete it and start over. Gazpacho 17:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And risk a speedy for recreation? Nah. I'll do some work on it tonight. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
delete this is clearly a neologism, and doesn't deserve an article. Even if it did, we should delete this POV fork first. Mangojuicetalk 15:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is 1988 (the earliest obvious in-print record I can find regarding its usage) considered "recent" in this case? This term appears to have the ability to be well-sourced in origin by multiple secondary sources, which appears to be what WP:NEO suggests. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
