[edit] NPOV Question

Isn't this template inherently carrying bias. To place on a page, "this group has been persecuted by/persectued" seems awfully POV no matter how true (or not) it may be... (just my 2 cents) Makenji-san 07:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two way grid?

We need a two-way grid really, "Persecution of atheists by Mormons", "Persecution of Zoroastrians by Christians", etc. Admittedly, some would be a bit short. Poetlister 16:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Trouble is, the longest article would probably be "Persecution of Christians by Christians". We'd then need to split it into "Persecution of Protestants by Catholics" and vice versa, etc. RachelBrown 10:02, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Afraid I have to agree with you. Poetlister 10:05, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scientologists

I do not see this as a notable group, and this page is already sinking under the weight of its unused links. (In case you have not noticed, it is being VfD-ed itself.)

If you want to add Scientologists, then kindly first create the relevant articles. --EMS | Talk 02:52, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Those articles would be rather long, and I don't see any problem with them being red links in the template. Scientologists have been persecuted and persecuted others in thier history. SCN is very relavent to any article on Religious persecution. Klonimus 07:38, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
I find that to be remarkable in a 50-year-old religion.
As far as I am concerned, you have demonstrated that the concept of this template is corrupt. It was meant to be a navigation bar, not a billboard. Historical, dominant religions I can accept in this list by default. Lesser religions should at least have the articles already in place at the least.
Also, if this template is to accept anthing that comes along with the proper set of articles, it will get awfully long after a while. --EMS | Talk 17:44, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Why should the fact that an article would be rather long mean that it shouldn't be written? On the contrary, it means that it's a substantial subject that may well deserve an article. And it seems awfully wrong to me to have a template dominated by red links. Isn't there a Wikipedia policy on this? Poetlister 10:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] zoroastrians?

where are the zoroastrians? Sohrab Irani 02:42, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pagans and Germanic pagans

I don't see why there should be a separate entry for Germanic pagans, when there is already one for Pagans in general. DFH 17:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Further duplication - Heathens and Pagans are the same. One just redirects to the other. This is overkill! DFH 17:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
