First interracial kiss on television

Nominator(s): LavaBaron (talk) 01:01, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the first interracial kiss on television. This short but comprehensive and exhaustively sourced article deals with an interesting pop culture topic and is illustrated with multiple appropriate images. It is stable and has previously appeared as a DYK. It also dispels a popularly repeated myth so will help enlighten the masses. LavaBaron (talk) 01:01, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and suggest withdrawal. This is a good start but it's only that; little more than a stub in fact. Where is the historical and social context? It fails most of the FA criteria, particularly comprehensiveness. There are many book sources that cover this taboo. Such as: Race and News: Critical Perspectives by Christopher P. Campbell, Kim M. LeDuff, Cheryl; Black Men in Interracial Relationships: What's Love Got to Do With It? by Kellina M. Craig-Henderson; Biracial in America: Forming and Performing Racial Identity by Nikki Khanna, University of Vermont, author of Biracial in America; and many more. There is a lot more work needed before this can become a FA. Graham Beards (talk) 15:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing comment -- yes, I saw this at DYK and thought it worthwhile there but as far as FAC goes the nomination is very premature, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 16:39, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
