[edit] Category:American Slaveholders

This is a trivial category. It should be, and already is, a list. Being a slaveholder, however repugnant today, was at some times in history extremely common and accepted; for most people at that time owning slaves was a footnote to their lives. If it was particularly relevant (e.g. Thomas Jefferson), it should be described in the person's page. If there is an actual desire to maintain a comprehensive list (which would be overwhelmingly difficult, IMO), it should be done as a list, not a category. Preczewski 18:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delist - as has been mentioned, this belongs in CFD, not here. I have my own comments on the matter but they belong elsewhere. Disclosure: I am the creator of the category. Radgeek 03:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
