428:, The use of the term "ghetto" is thoroughly covered in both the sources cited in the article and those cited by Mangokeylime. The specific term "ghetto riots" may not be specifically used in the literature, as a scholarly consensus is absent and is not meant to be a set name like a battle in a war, but it is a descriptor of a string of related events that, per Mangokeylime's source, "turned them from episodic outbreaks of discontent into a force that transformed U.S. politics." You're right that it is not separate from the rest of the Civil Rights Movement, but it is distinct, characterized by the same tactics, time period, similar locations, and caused by the same material conditions, and so I don't think it can be accurately described as just "mass violence." Would we delete all of the articles about medieval Peasant Rebellions to a more general article about "mass violence"? I would think not. You talk about claims being unsubstantiated, so name them. Additionally, it is a useful content fork that helps organize a series of multiple related events through its table and helps readers understand why they're related by being a standalone article. Ultimately, I don't believe a deletion is warranted.
363:
I've found to be mostly used by scholars in the 1960s and 70s. I'll drop some links for the modern usage of "ghetto rebellions". I do recognize that this phenomenon is separate (although related) to the civil rights movement. While the civil rights movement was a long mostly non violent organized protest movement for desegregation, these riots were spontaneous and unorganized clashes in
American cities. I think issues of the article's naming and neutrality are real and can be fixed. I think we should also expand and add info that describes more about this unique phenomenon in American history. This page has some problems, but I'd rather see it fixed than deleted.
693:. There is a vague handwave to the background section, but that is fully cited. I haven't checked those particular sources, but I saw very similar passages in the sources I did look at while doing my own searches. Articles are not usually deleted for POV problems unless they are so severe that there is nothing salvagable in the page. In any case, so far I see no case to answer on POV, and as the nom has admitted, such problems can be fixed by ordinary editing, as can the title of the page if editors think it is so offensive.
716:. A quick look through newspapers.com tells me the term "ghetto riots" was indeed in wide circulation and was often followed by "...of the 1960s", so the article reaches the standard of, yes, this was an actual & notable thing. A quick look through wikipedia tells me the overall topic seems not to be covered elsewhere. These kinds of groupings of historical events can lead to bad habits like synthesis and OR and lazy generalizations if we're not careful, and the article needs some help, but it's worth keeping. --
445:: The riots were a real, historical event. Removing the page for them would seem to imply that they either weren't historically relevant, or that they didn't happen at all. If you have real concerns about the tone/neutrality of this page, then the page should be revised to reflect those concerns. Surely, deleting the page would have the opposite effect? It certainly isn't neutral to erase history.

No problem
Coffeespoons, I don't really know the proper deletion process either. I'll add my two cents. There are modern scholars and commentators that refer to this period as the "ghetto violence of the 1960s" or more often the "ghetto rebellions". You are right that the specific term "ghetto riots"

There are a variety of issues with neutral point of view. The best examples of this are in the
Introduction and Background sections, which make a variety of unsubstantiated assertions. The name of the article itself is also debatable, given the controversial connotations of the word 'ghetto,' and the

The term 'Ghetto Riots' is not in common use by any reliable contemporary historians, as far as I can tell. All the sources I've found which reference this term are from the period in which it was occurring and just after (the 1968-1971 range). I have not been able to find any contemporary sources

relevance. Echoing Pharos above, I think what's warranted is a PAGE MOVE, a straightforward process to re-title the thing into its specific

The time period that this article covers (1964-1968) accurately describes a period where there were an unusually large number of race riots. If keeping the article's name is impossible, it should at least be renamed.
