Talk:List of ethnic slurs

Entry Inclusion Guidelines

Each entry in the List of Ethnic Slurs must have a citation, or it will be removed or moved to the #Quarantine section.

Entries that include a wikilink to an article on that slur, with a citation in that article (referring to the slur, not to some other sense of the word) may stay on the list, but including the citation in both places would be better.

Only ethnic slurs are allowed, including race and nationality along with ethnicity. Other slurs belong at List of regional nicknames, List of religious slurs, or in similar lists. For the sake of having a rule, Muslim turbans are considered religious, and Jews are both a religion and an ethnicity.

Non-English slurs may be included, but any definition or description of such terms must be provided in English, as with all descriptive editorial content on English Wikipedia. Any pertinent excerpts from sources which are directly quoted should be translated into English.

The purpose of this guideline is to prevent vandals from adding joke entries we can't disprove, and to prevent endless cycles of re-adding and re-deleting the same slurs due to disagreement on what belongs on the list. Please don't make major changes to this guideline without getting a consensus on the talk page.
