- Delete or redirect to Caucasian. Gazpacho 07:18, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Neologism, it is not the history of; the academic discipline of History does not have historians who study (and historiography for) people who are racially white, not as such. El_C 07:34, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- No Vote: What a can of worms!! Of the 27,700 Google hits for 'white history', most appear to be for individuals, companies, etc., named White. However, many appear to be about racial history (and not all crackpots): White History web site, The case for 'White History Month', Boston Globe, MBA MBULU'S AN INTRODUCTION TO WHITE HISTORY: The History of White America, White History Month Campaign, Churchhill-the truth; guardian.co.uk. No vote as it's not a subject that interests me enough to work on. However, if it stays, it should be about the subject of white history. As El C says, white history itself does not appear to be a discipline. DialUp 16:57, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Within the academic discipline of History, that is. El_C 04:58, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Loaded neologism. Any mention of "White history month" is really just hyperbole arguing against black history month. DaveTheRed 23:27, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- No vote: I think we should have people look up a white history that is not racist, because whenever we look up white history in Yahoo! or Google, we get web sites of White History that are made by white supremacists that do not give accurate information, so for a change lets have a White history page that does not have a racist or prejudice attitude. 66.81.190.183

- Good call. El_C 05:08, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- No Vote How the hell can you delete White History and not Black History what about Indian History or Jewish History or Islamic History??? Drexel1 23:08, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
