The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Dilsia (slave) likely doesn't satisfy WP:GNG: The only coverage of Dilsia seems to be brief mentions in works about White[1],[2][3] (and sometimes William Henry Harrison[4][5]) Similar to Marie Harrison, any significant content on Dilsia can be summarized in a few sentences in the background of Walter White, so I think the former should redirect to the latter. Another plausible redirect target might be William Henry Harrison, but as the connection to Harrison appears to be based on oral/written family history of Dilsia's descendants, the relationship may not be as reliable. --Animalparty!

Oppose - After some thought, I've changed my mind about this. An enslaved person of note should be treated like any other notable person, and have their own article, however brief. (And this is a person about whom more information could theoretically be found over time as a result of research by academics.) They should not have to share an article with their enslaver or with their descendants. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Walter White (1893–1955) was an American civil rights activist who led the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for a quarter of a century, from 1929 until his death. He directed a broad program of legal challenges to racial segregation and disfranchisement. Under his leadership, the NAACP oversaw the plans and organizational structure of the fight against public segregation in the United States. He worked with President Harry S. Truman on desegregating the armed forces after World War II and gave him a draft of Executive Order 9981 to implement this. Under White's leadership, the NAACP set up its Legal Defense Fund, which conducted numerous legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement, and achieved many successes. This photograph of White was taken by Clara Sipprell around 1950, and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
