Racism in Romania

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Whole article is based on a single risible report, which states that Roma are discriminated at employment because they are not enough qualified, they are discriminated regarding the housing because they don't have money to buy authorizations, they are discriminated at education because of the drop-out rate etc. Either better sources are found, or this article should go, in my opinion.

Keep and close per "Either better sources are found, or this article should go, in my opinion." Any article that can be improved is not a good AfD candidate, per WP:BEFORE. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While there's overlap with Roma in Romania, there's no shortage of easily-found material on the topic, about anti-semitism and other forms of racism as well as anti-Roma feeling.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Proposer should have attempted to find sources, per WP:BEFORE. Topic is notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I edited to add a bit on anti-semitism and restructured so it's not purely about treatment of Roma. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If you think that the article could be better, you can help us by improving it. bogdan (talk) 15:20, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – The issue at hand is if the subject is notable. The subject of this article is racism. So, yes, it is notable, and Colapeninsula has found some sources. There is also plenty of precedent for covering the subject of racism by nation. Searching for "racism in" brings up plenty of examples of that – the first page of results brings up articles where "Racism in X" is the title or a redirect for the US, Japan, Hungary, Russia, Israel, China, the UK, Australia, Turkey, France, Ukraine, Argentina, Sweden, and India (Also, Europe, Asia, North America, the Palestinian territories, sports, and football (soccer)), so there isn't any reason to think Romania is being "singled out" for this sort of thing.

Keep - easily sufficient sources available to meet WP:GNG. The Whispering Wind (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
