• Keep - Yes, it is a mess, but WP:DINC. This is a topic that merits an article, so fix it, don't delete it entirely. Agricolae (talk) 06:30, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Agricolae, Am aware. Honestly somewhat hoping that the AfD would drum up some interest in repairing it. I personally do not have the knowledge to approach the subject. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep it's an important term that needs full coverage here. This article is indeed messy. Rjensen (talk) 07:56, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep obviously notable topic, and not so bad that it warrants WP:TNT. A lot of the confusing and overly detailed information in the lead was added in a single edit a few days ago. Just needs some cleanup. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 08:28, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This article is not worse than the majority of Wikipedia articles out there, not even close. So an user has been adding gigantic amounts of information to the lead recently, making it confusing to read. This has been dealt with by SpicyMilkBoy in a single edit; there was no need whatsoever for the tag-bombing or the deletion nomination on a ethnic group of millions. WP:SOFIXIT.

Also, this is obviously a very important concept in the history of miscegenation in the New World and is adequately covered in reliable sources that are present in the article. AfD is not clean up. RetiredDuke (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
