This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

John Oliver (30 June 2017). "Alex Jones". Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Actually, I'm pretty sure that if you type, 'refugee spreading disease' into Google and press enter, it just takes you right to the Wikipedia page for xenophobia, which, at the end of the day, is a real time saver for you.

article reads like a newspaper.[edit]

the article doesn't read like an encyclopedic entry at all.

after giving a short definition of what xenophobia is, most of the article is just a collection of events and literally feels like reading through some kind of magazine.

I'm considering leaving a   "Missing information"   banner on the article. thoughts?

Proposed merge of Discrimination based on nationality into Xenophobia[edit]

NO MERGE

Consensus is against this merge, as only the proposer has advocated for it. Z1720 (talk) 13:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discrimination based on nationality primarily covers examples of xenophobia, and can be integrated with the Europe and United States subsections here. Joofjoof (talk) 01:10, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Xenophobia is defined here as "fear or hatred of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange". Discrimination by nationality does not require either fear or hatred only discriminatory treatment. (t · c) buidhe 01:23, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The former article has a pretty clearly-defined scope in terms of the legality of discrimination based on nationality. Xenophobia, rather, is a cultural manifestation. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 00:56, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose completely different things with completely different scope per above Dronebogus (talk) 02:50, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the anti arguments above are compelling. Rjensen (talk) 04:26, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for context This article is being used as the summary article for the Template:Discrimination sidebar, where it is the parent topic of things like Anti-Chinese sentiment. Per leakycauldron's comment, these child articles contain both legal and cultural forms of discrimination. Joofjoof (talk) 09:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
