Category:Palestinian terrorist organizations[edit]

  • The mere existence violates NPOV policies. And apparently, whoever created this category didn't think we needed a Category:Israeli terrorist organizations. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:09, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep, as above. (And if there are loose groups of Israel terrorists cannoning about, they do should be added.) — Bill 09:39, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep --ChrisRuvolo 16:42, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - Terrorism is well defined, and these categories are a natural extension. Nominations is part of extreme agenda-pushing and POV warring within WP. -- Netoholic @ 07:05, 2004 Oct 31 (UTC)

  • DELETE. Obviously POV title. (How do you like "Category:Jewish terrorist organizations"?) HistoryBuffEr 03:06, 2004 Nov 1 (UTC)

  • Keep, as these organizations are very active. IZAK 10:29, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • KEEP. If there are several of anything, they can be grouped into a category. This applies for Palestinian Terrorist Organizations. So KEEP.--AAAAA 12:23, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. MathKnight 12:26, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Abstain Could be renamed Category:Palestinian terrorist organizations. Otherwise support keeping category. 172 12:31, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Changing terrorists in activists or something of the sort is Newspeak with respect to the victims of their actions. Also, this page provides important information.Gidonb 13:37, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. keep the whitewash in the bucket not on the pages at Wikipedia. Lance6Wins 13:51, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - Obviously POV title unless all these organisations clearly refer to themselves as terrorists. --Axon 14:11, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is one of the few that should be kept. Pretty well-defined term, in a very small area. There's only a few group, and you can link to Hamas, Al Aqsa Brigades, etc for more detail on both sides of the issue. Terrapin 16:10, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. The term "terrorist" expresses a POV in all cases. John Tinker 22:55, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. terrorists never call themselves as such. Pure POV --Hooperbloob 02:42, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. - POV problem as superbly described by John Tinker, however I can see the problem now: Some terrorist categories will be deleted for NPOV and others not, which would make the discussion even more obscene. I think there should be an overall vote on the use of the word "terrorist" as opposed to the individual plucking of the groups. Why are we each voting 10 times when we are saying one thing that applies ten times? Tarek 07:23, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete the category. There's no place for POV-laden lists of "terrorists", and I seriously doubt whether any of these organisations would accept the allegation of "terrorism". Shorne 12:22, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
