{{lc|Allegedly anti-Semitic people}}

  • Delete, POV magnet, like :Category:Anti-Arab people, but with extra "allegedly" POV. What counts as a credible allegation? —Ashley Y 17:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - this is a way to separate the usage of :Category:Anti-Semitic people from being used to apply to people who have been so alleged. Important distinction. -Ste|vertigo 10:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as per Ashley Y. --BrownHairedGirl 21:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete altough at times such allegations may be discussed in the article, I fail to see why this should form the base for a category. As the nom implies in his question, it is just too fuzzy. gidonb 22:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as per Ashley Y -- weasel words tend to attract POV. --Gutza T [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gutza&action=edit§ion=new T+] 22:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete ridiculous! I would like to the A-S people cat deleted as well. - CrazyRussian talk/email 22:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as per the attempt to rename :Category:Anti-Semitic people previously: if weasel words in articles are bad, they are much worse when applied to category names. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete For the love of God delete! It's Ludicrous! as is Anti-Semitic people, Anti-Arab people etc! who made us judge and jury??!? or instead delete that POV rule! --Yas121 22:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, in general agreement with the reasons given above. - Jmabel | Talk 22:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Quite rediculous for an encyclopedia. Kaldari 22:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The category cannot be, by definition, neutral; it is exposing one of the POVs only. Unlike :Category:Anti-Semitic people, I don't think this deserves a place. This is one of the things that semantici Wikipedia might do for us in the future, but it ain't as if we can't live without it. Taragüí @ 08:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete -- Heptor talk 09:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, So many people fall under this category. Oftentimes there is controversy, speculation, and/or conspiracy behind their anti-Semitic actions, words, affiliations, etc. Louis Farrakhan, for example. As well as many, many others. Shamir1 03:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Deleteper Taragui.--Mantanmoreland 15:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete with prejudice. Utterly ludicrous. Just zis Guy you know? 16:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete The closest I'd recommend venturing to this category would be one set aside for "Self-Proclaimed Anti-Semitic People". Otherwise this cat becomes a weapon.--Beware of Cow 17:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Inherently subjective category LaszloWalrus 00:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • 15px Delete, POV pushing Matthew Fenton (contribs) 23:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep This could be a useful category for future reference. Allegedly, these people are against Israel and it's presence in the world. If they have done things considered hateful that was news worthy, let this be the category to classify such individuals (as alleged of course). Could prove useful in future articles on middle-east conflicts. JungleCat talk/contrib 05:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. I know you had good intentions with this, Stivertigo, but it just doesn't work. "Allegedly anti-Semitic"? Sorry, but it doesn't sound very encyclopedic. I suggest if people have been accused to just detail it in their bios, but we don't need a separate cat. Aaрон Кинни (t) 19:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
