ADOS is an article about a political group, please don't try to turn it into something else

edit

Note that to create an article on the ethnic group you would need reliable sources showing that the subject was notable by our criteria and you would also have to make sure the article doesn't exist elsewhere. I think it does, at Slavery in the United States although it might be possible to add to that. Use the talk page first though. Doug Weller talk 12:42, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Just a note to say that our articles are not meant to include only facts

edit

If they did, there wouldn't be many as there are few subjects where interpretations aren't vital. Certainly history is an area where interpretations are made all the time. Politics obviously. Then there are artistic subjects. The list goes on. Doug Weller talk 12:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
