[edit] Retentionist

rebundant with Use of death penalty worldwide unsigned nomination by 500LL (talk · contribs)

• Delete. Not only a poorer-quality version of another list, but is written in a POV/ inaccurate manner. (It specifically says that this is a list of countries who use the death penalty for minor crimes, and inclueds the US. Last I checked, drug traficking, murder or treason were not considered minor). --Scimitar 20:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Use of death penalty worldwide. — Gwalla | Talk 21:07, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Use of death penalty worldwide. First Google hit is Amnesty's website dealing with term. WP:NOT a dictionary, usually, but this does appear to be a proper concept and the article as-is isn't a dicdef.-Splash 02:16, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Move definition to Wiktionary. List is subjective and/or meaningless without a definition of 'ordinary crime'. Peter Grey 05:27, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Delete and DO NOT redirect because even if this term is actual, it is clearly a loaded one and therefore WP should not even acknowledge that it exists. Falcon 05:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm not sure I get your reasoning there. It's one thing to be unbiased; it's another to deny that biased terms exist or have meaning. — Gwalla | Talk 06:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
