I've declined a prod on this one as I think it needs a wider consensus. Original prod reason was "No assertion of the collective notability of the list of persons in this article. Individually, most definitely notable. But as a whole? We have here political assassinations, death during an arrest, Nazi war profiteers. Its just a hodge-podge spanning 75 years.", and I pretty much agree with that; I think it's an indiscriminate collection of information in the making. However, I recognise that there is a potentially valid article to be written here, ignoring the issues with the list. –  iride scent  20:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete In support of the nominator, in regard to WP:IINFO standards. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - As the original prodder, I stand by the "No assertion of the collective notability..." line. Tarc (talk) 01:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. If no source treats these as linked, we shouldn't either, otherwise it seems like original synthesis.Yobmod (talk) 10:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a useful list. Lists do not require the "collective notability". It is enough they provide brief information about each person who is individually notable.Biophys (talk) 02:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The point here is that there is nothing especially notable about being assassinated and being a "Jewish leader related to Israel and Zionism" (egads what a clunky title this was). If the people listed are notable, perhaps they could be added to List of assassinated people, and this page be redirected if necessary, which is probably what I should've done in the first place.

 * Delete, seems like the inclusion criteria are arbitrary. Stifle (talk) 22:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
