Caucasian terrorism
When I originally came across this article, I thought that it could become a good article if substantially cleaned up. However, I realized that the term "Caucasian terrorism" is irreparably POV when used to describe terrorism committed by Caucasians. Moreover, see this google search for evidence that the term is almost always used to refer to terrorism related to the Caucasus. NatusRoma 06:36, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV, not notable neologistic phrase. Megan1967 08:03, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I strongly suspect that this is the next chapter of Judeofascism /Americofascism disruption. Note the phrase "political and religious ambitions" in the intro&mdash;what is the "Caucasian religion"? The intro was probably ripped from Islamist terrorism. Delete or rewrite at White racist terrorism, covering only private terrorist acts where racist ideology was the motive. Gazpacho 08:07, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV probably designed to be disruptive --Doc Glasgow 09:41, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Inexplicably moronic. There is terrorism in the Caucases.  Is this what's meant?  Duh, 'course not.  Bad, bad, bad. Geogre 11:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV title, nobody ever grouped these events together (or gave them a collective name) except for the author of the article Cynical 13:15, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the article that should be written on Terrorism in the Caucases. -- BD2412  talk  14:09, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
 * Caucasus.
 * Delete. WP:POINT for one. Also, it may well be a sign of racism in our society that Islamist terrorism is referred to under a blanket term but this isn't. However, it's not Wikipedia's place to correct the ills of society - but instead to record society as it is. ESkog 15:01, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Now let's not assume bad faith. This article was created by an anon with a substantial edit history, but I'm not sure if it's all the same person, or several different people, so there's no reason to assume that this person was purposefully disrupting Wikipedia.

 * Furthermore, this article was created last October, so it certainly isn't a response to the VfD of Islamofascism. No vote&mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 16:27, 20 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete &mdash; topic already covered by Ethnic terrorism. &mdash; RJH 16:30, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Use of "Caucasian" within the meaning of this article is a misnomer. Martg76 17:11, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per BD2412, as there is terrorism in the Caucasus Mountains.   &mdash; Rickyrab | Talk 19:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: this could be an article about terrorism in the Caucasus. RickK 20:31, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename White racist terrorism or merge with ethnic terrorism. Stancel 21:16, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to ethnic terrorism. -Sean Curtin 05:44, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
