Deletion closure edit
I closed the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indian slave trade in the American Southeast, which seems to have be misformatted and was definitely withdrawn by its nominator. If there were any substantive issues to be assessed in the closure, I would have recused myself (I'm teaching a class in which a student is writing this article) and asked an administrator to evaluate it.
That said, there are substantive reasons to keep this page. Slavery among Native Americans in the United States is overly long and this page's corresponding text makes up over 1600 words there. This makes it a good candidate for a sub-article per WP:SUMMARY.--Carwil (talk) 16:55, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Should the term 'Indian' be changed to Native American or Indigenous American? edit
If I'm not wrong, this article talks about Indigenous Americans in the Southeast U.S. being enslaved, rather than Indians. I actually came to this article mistakenly, looking to see if there were instances of Indians being enslaved and taken to the U.S. and got confused. I'm also pretty sure the Indigenous American's decedents would prefer to be referred to as such rather than as Indians, but I'm not descended from the Indigenous Americans and can't give an informed opinion on that.
