You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article Afro-Arabs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
What is the justification for the existence of this article? The term "Afro-Arab" feels way to Americo-centric and is irrelevant to the actual ethnic, color and "racial" divisions that exist. The term is much too ambiguous outside of an American context, considering that there are literally millions of non-Black Arabs who live in the continent of Africa and have lived there for generations (in the case of Egyptians and Arabized Berbers and perhaps some other groups, they have been there since the dawn of recorded history). If the article refers specifically to "Black Arabs", I believe that is what its title should be, otherwise it makes it sound like its making the racist claim that Arabized Berbers or Egyptians aren't "really African".
But even then, it sounds like too broad a group which is not well-defined, due to the range of skin colors in the Arab world without there necessarily being a clear racial divide, as well as the difficulty of talking of someone who is "of African descent" when there has constantly been movement of people between Africa and the Middle East over the millenia, and there have been dark-skinned people in the Middle East for thousands of years. It's completely uncomparable to groups like African Americans or Europeans of Black African descent. And that's without delving into the complicated relationship between "blackness/Africanness" and "Arabness" in countries like Sudan and Mauritania.
I believe this entire article should be erased, and if there is a need, it would be better to create articles for Black communities or individuals in particular Arab countries and their unique culture and/or history. I would be glad to hear people's opinion about this.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
