Question

Mcelite I noticed that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee were in the template. I'm not familiar with the connection. Could you elaborate on those connections? Mitchumch (talk) 10:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Kryn Have you ever read anything about the NAACP, CORE, or SNCC being directly involved with Native Americans in a notable way? Mitchumch (talk) 04:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mitchumch. Not that I recall, although their Wikipedia pages should contain that sourced information if they are accurately listed on this template. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Randy. Mcelite I'm going to remove their entries from the template. I welcome any feedback, because I've never read anything that connects them to the template topic. But, I'm open to being wrong. Mitchumch (talk) 12:16, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The NAACP is focus on issues relating to all "People of Color" including Native Americans I can say that I did make a mistake with including Congress of Racial Equality and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. I think I was just tired and did it on accident but NAACP is notable especially because Native Americans were involved in the Civil Rights Movement.Mcelite (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mcelite The article NAACP does not mention "American Indians". That articles only mention of "Native Americans" is, "Storey consistently and aggressively championed civil rights, not only for blacks but also for Native Americans and immigrants (he opposed immigration restrictions)." That sentence only pertains to Moorfield Storey, not the NAACP. The article Native Americans in the United States does not mention NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Simply relying of the presence of "Colored People" in the organizations name won't suffice to include the organization in this template. I'm not objecting to their presence in the template. I'm only saying there is no content (including citations) on Wikipedia to justify their presence in the template. Consequently, their presence in the template appears to be WP:EXCEPTIONAL "surprising or apparently important claims not covered by multiple mainstream sources." Can you find sourced content on Wikipedia that presents their history in connection with NAACP? Or can you provide sourced content into Wikipedia? Mitchumch (talk) 17:09, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crap I guess that really was something we over looked in Native Americans in the United States was not mentioning the civil rights movement especially when we do have reliable sources stating their involvement with it and I think (going by head knowledge) citations with their involvement with the NAACP which did occur. A section for the civil rights movement will have to be included in Native Americans in the United States in a day or two I personally don't have the time to do it today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcelite (talk • contribs) 14:04, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no emergency. It wouldn't surprise me that the NAACP were/are involved with Native Americans. But, I doubt many people are aware it. I was surprised when I saw the org in the template. That's what led me to inquire with you. Mitchumch (talk) 20:22, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
