Topic does not receive significant coverage in reliable sources - it's occasionally used, but only in passing, indicating that this is a WP:DICDEF at best. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:08, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Delete - Article reads like a dictionary, not encyclopedia. Meatsgains (talk) 21:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Comment -This article is similar to and more widely quoted than other current Wikipedia words such as; Lusophilia and Estophilia. It clearly has a legitimate place here.

:: No, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Very probably those other articles should also be deleted; their existence proves nothing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

:*Close comment - I closed as Redirect but after seeing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Afrophile at AFD I've decided to undo the close (Atleast to me it makes sense to redirect both instead of just one but consensus is to delete the other one so I'm leaving this open). –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 18:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

:: OK, the presumed target is Negrophilia. Probably the other AfD didn't notice this as a possible target. Not sure what else we can do really. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:17, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Keep I find it quite offensive that a prefix that is predominantly associated with subjugation is being used a a pretext for redirecting a page about affection for inhabitants of a major continent. Furthermore, in the search returns I have seen, the terms are usually not used interchangeably. Contrib raati (talk) 22:14, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

:: The other term is certainly obsolete, indeed, and this article now contains what look like reliable sources. Perhaps both Afrophile and Negrophilia should instead redirect here; there seems no justification for three articles, and not much for two, on this subject. Happy to be persuaded which of the three is the one to keep. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:02, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
