:It seems to me like it should be a category and stand-alone list (there are 100+ on the Deadspin's Big Book), but if that's not the consensus, I hope there's at least consensus for keeping a list of black quarterbacks ''somewhere'', perhaps in [[Racial issues faced by black quarterbacks]] or [[Black players in professional American football]], or as a stand-alone list.

*'''Delete'''. Most articles included, like [[Jacoby Brissett]], have no sources that indicate the person's ethnicity. This opens up a whole host of issues, especially for living people. IMO, sorting by ethnicity is a terrible mess of BLP violations. This category in particular should be deleted per nom.--[[User:Namiba|TM]] 12:05, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

::The sources supporting the addition of those articles to the black quarterback category are listed above and/or in the articles themselves.

*'''Keep''' per the arguments of Levivich. At the very least, merge it to [[:Category:African-American players of American football]]. [[User:Lepricavark|Lepricavark]] ([[User talk:Lepricavark|talk]]) 01:40, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
