:She did give quite detaled reasons as to why the entire page should be deleted, but I saw no counterpoints given. As for your one sentence position, I must say that about two weeks ago I would have largely agreed with it. However, since then I've been trying to deal with an influx of "wacko info". For example, check the revision histories of Yaohushua and Yaohushuaism?. I tried to engage Yaohushua in a reasonable dialogue about his material before making any changes, but he ignored any points made and simply continued to fill his pages and alter the Religion article, placing his cult on the same level as Judaism. His material was incorrect, outright propaganda, and simply not fixable. Thus, I soundly deleted it. So, in short, I say that sometimes material simply has to go. -- STG |

I have to say, I'm getting annoyed at the increasing propensity of certain people to simply delete content. That means you!
Yeah, we're overlapping. The Wikipedia backend problems are also making this more difficult. We need that ethnicity entry to be completed. It's on my todo list.
I'd assert that there isn't a line between diaspora studies and refugee studies; there's an overlap. Diaspora studies refer to ethnic populations; refugee studies refer to refugee populations; they overlap in ethnic refugees.
I'm going to merge our entries if that's all right, and move as much information as possible over to the diaspora entry as possible, so that diaspora studies will only refer to the academic field, as it should.
That said, I've moved over the discussion of diasporas to the diaspora entry. The diaspora studies entry should be about the academic field, not about the subject of the academic field. --TheCunctator
