Category talk:Genocide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a dispute on Ukrainian Holocaust over the scope of this category. User:Aecis insists on categorizing the article (which briefly examines the uses of the term "Ukrainian Holocaust" in scholarly discourse) as part of the said category (although Holodomor itself is not included in Category:Genocide). He ponders: Where does it say that Category:Genocide should only contain articles about genocides? If it did, it would have been called Category:Genocides, not Category:Genocide. The category contains many articles, all somehow relating to the concept of genocide. Some on actual genocides, some for instance on notable books. Does the term Ukrainian Holocaust cover a belief that Holodomor was a genocide? Is the Category:Genocide for such articles? Since the term is very controversial, as applied to the Soviet hunger of 1932-33, and the parties to the dispute may not be entirely impartial, I request your opinions whether, considering our categorization guidelines, Category:Genocide should include events whose classification as genocide is widely disputed and (as in the present case) the articles discussing alternative names of such events. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 08:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
