Talk:Fiery cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From WP:RfD:

  • Fiery cross → Ku Klux Klan -- Delete because Fiery cross is only linked to from KKK costume, which itself is a poor-quality, redundant article that has been nominated for deletion. KKK costume has the flavor of POV Klan self-promotion, and the title of Fiery cross is likewise POV. (If there was a necessity for such an article, which there isn't, a more appropriate title would be something like "Ku Klux Klan cross burning.")Bcrowell 17:02, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Not a really good redirect. Delete. — Stevey7788 (talk) 06:17, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
    • This has been reset to point to Cross burning, which I think is a reasonable target. I think we should leave it, because otherwise someone else may write a duplicate article at this title (see #keep #2). Noel (talk) 13:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

This article is needed for the original use of the term. In spite of the fact that the term is used in unsavory contexts, it has a historic use that needs to be treated in its own article.--Wiglaf 06:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

It should be united in one article. Just because one meaning is racist and another decidedly not so, doesn't mean that the content should be forked. Compare the treatment in our featured Swastika article.--Pharos 19:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
I understand your point, but I think that the original non-racist use covers objects that are so decidedly different from burning static crosses, that they should be treated in different articles.--Wiglaf 20:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
