`::::Take it easy there, big fella.  Unfortunately one part of WP guidelines is that ``[of published material serving to advance a position]`` is original research, and it's fairly obvious from the discussion above that the position you're trying to buttress is that ``gaijin is not derogatory``.  ::::But this doesn't mean we have to throw out the baby or the bathwater at this point.  The research you've done will create a great history/etymology section if worded carefully.  The issue, as Exploding Boy pointed out, is how do we deal with the situation right now, with some people/groups considering gaijin derogatory.  It's a significant group, and if we have to cite Debito as one end of the spectrum, then so be it.    `
