Mass murderer category

Would a mass murderer category be appropriate for him? 2600:100C:A218:9A7B:BC5E:E0AD:C8F9:553 (talk) 20:07, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

:I don't think Marcos himself carried out the murders, so no. Maybe state-sponsored killings or something else? Howard the Duck (talk) 05:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

::The thing is: other dictators such as Bashar al Assad, Saddam Hussein, etc have mass murderer as a category. 2600:100C:A218:9A7B:70FE:16E:CEBB:85ED (talk) 06:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

:::Interestingly, Adolf Hitler does not have a mass murderer category but Benito Mussolini does. Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 13:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

::::Has Hitler ever been accused of mass murder? Dimadick (talk) 13:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

:::::I mean, it's an analogy considering Marcos is associated with widespread human rights violations, but probably not mass murder unless you count extrajudicial killings. Hitler would more likely be considered a mass murderer for the Holocaust alone. Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 14:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

::::::Marcos and other similar dictators may have caused an unquantifiable number of killings, but I'd suppose it's not mass murder but something else. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:27, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Torturer category

Would the torturer category be appropriate here? 2600:100C:A21D:971A:3DFA:A9B2:FCD8:A60 (talk) 06:00, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

:Unless it was documented that it was Marcos himself who did the torturing, then no. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:48, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

::There are plenty of sources that state his regime was responsible for torturing. Why do other dictators have the mass murderer category as well? 2600:100C:A20D:BB75:D500:DBA6:3203:9CF9 (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Marcos Legacy

Can you please right down all Marcos Projects and all of its cost so we can check everything how much did he really stole from the government. For 25 years in power he only spent 400B pesos. So i wondered where did he gets the funding and the resources. 2604:3D09:8885:D900:1032:B365:9111:8E4E (talk) 15:07, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
