[edit] Angry Asian Man

It doesn't seem encyclopaedic. Abstain --cuiusquemodi 00:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep but clean up. -- NSLE (Communicate!) <Contribs> 01:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless it can be verified or referenced. Trollderella 01:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete not notable, not encyclopedic
- Keep The Washington Post has noted the term, [1] and it does well on Google. CanadianCaesar 01:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Verify and keep if true. We already have an article on the Angry White Male, a well-known stereotype in politics. If the Angry Asian Man is a similar political stereotype, why shouldn't this be kept as well? I do want to see verification that this is a real stereotype, though. - Sensor 01:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - I think the same standard should apply to Angry White Male. Trollderella 01:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - "Angry Asian Man" gets 86,000 Google hits. I'm not sure what the article should look like, but there should probably be one. Johntex\talk 01:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment It looks like it should be rewritten to concentrate on the website, which appears to be somewhat important to the Asian American community. CanadianCaesar 02:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep with change of focus: I agree with CanadianCaesar; while few references online seem to use this as a term, most refer to the blog Angry Asian Man, which seems to be very popular and had an article in the Washington Post and elsewhere. It seems that its use as a tern among Asian civil rights activists has been popularised by this blog. jnothman talk 08:45, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I wasn't aware of the blog when I put this up for deletion. An article on the blog would, I think, be appropriate, in my opinion, which is why I changed my vote. --cuiusquemodi 09:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Not at all encyclopedic. Staxringold 11:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Keep but Rewrite. As an East Asian in the US, I personally find this angry asian movement typically embarassing and/or irritating. But it seems to be somewhat notable. Would stress in the article that this is a US identity politics phenomenon, with little or no notability outside the US. Bwithh 03:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable blog. A google search shows that this blog has been mentioned in mainstream newspapers such as the Seattle Times [2]. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
