Assassinated Nazis category

[edit]

I had reverted the addition of Category:Assassinated Nazis, but was reverted yesterday with the rationale "Ignore all precedents". I don't believe an essay is a valid reason to edit war over a category that doesn't even seem applicable here, as it seems to be used for people who actually worked for and/or collaborated with the actual Nazi party before or during WWII.

The category is for Nazis, not simply Nazis from the 1940s. I think the category fits here, as Rockwell was a Nazi and he was assassinated. MagicatthemovieS (talk) 17:27, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rockwell was a neo-Nazi, not an actual Nazi. There's an important difference. If there was a category/subcategory for that it would be appropriate, but it doesn't seem to fit here. The WordsmithTalk to me 13:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A neo-Nazi is a Nazi, and Wikipedia says so.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 14:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS[reply]

Dubious

[edit]

At the end of the "military service" section, GLR's article says that U.S. Lady magazine incorporated his extremist views into its publication. However, this claim fails to provide a source, and furthermore the U.S. Lady article itself directly contradicts that, reading (with a source at the end, to boot): "Rockwell's political views had never been espoused in the magazine during his tenure with U.S. Lady."
