Deaths attributed to extremist groups in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log )

List is original research. 1. List topic is not notable. Search for sources produced negligible results. 2. Reliable sources have not been supplied which demonstrate that groups singled out in the list had any "deaths attributed" to them. In fact the entries are individuals, not groups. – Lionel (talk) 16:49, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete "Extremist" is not defined. Please note that many acts of terrorism are committed in the name of moderate causes. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - "Groups" is not defined either, nor is the question of who attributes what to whom discussed. So, for example, where does the 1963 Montgomery Church Bombing fit in? It was the act of a group of extremists, but were they an extremist group? And does the author really expect us to think that the long sordid history of Ku Klux Klan terrorism is going to be documented blow-by-blow? Not a completable list, even if there was consensus established for inclusion criteria. Best to leave this one alone. Carrite (talk) 03:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And for that matter through most of its history the Klan was defending the status quo. Is that extremist? Steve Dufour (talk) 03:11, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope nobody misunderstands me. Before around 1965 the Klan was an evil, terrorist group; but not extremist since their views (if not their actions) were supported by most white Southerners. Now it is extremist since few people now support a return to segregation. In the same way anti-abortion and Puerto Rican independence terrorists are also not supporting extreme views.
