List of former Nazis influential after 1945
I think this article is best deleted, a lot of persons named here weren`t ever active nazis and besides, I don`t think a definitive and uncontroversial list can ever be given. Maybe some of the information here could be merged in an article concerning denazification. Isolani 5 July 2005 21:43 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure about that. After all, we do have List of Nazi Party leaders and officials. Unfortunately, I don't know if the list could be made "definitive and uncontroversial" or that POV could be avoided. --Habap 5 July 2005 22:30 (UTC)
 * comment The thing is that 'Nazi' is ill defined, we have people who were collaborating civil servants... but no nazi party members, we have plenty of people who were 'nazis on paper' but were ideologically lukewarm. I think this subject could be best dealt with with a section in denazification--Isolani 5 July 2005 22:51 (UTC)


 * Delete: Bad, bad list, very loose on def. of "influential. Delete as per above two, with perhaps a section in denazification. --Alex12 3 6 July 2005 00:44 (UTC)
 * Keep: Needs a little work but has potential. I actually found the list quite interesting. -Husnock 6 July 2005 07:30 (UTC)
 * 'comment' there is still the issue of overlap with denazification, the list may well be 'interesting' (especially after I deleted some of the more wacky entries) but the list itself should not be an article in itself. --Isolani 6 July 2005 12:14 (UTC)


 * Merge Having read the comments above, I think that if we retain the list, it should be merged into the denazification page with an explanatory paragraph stating the criteria for inclusion and an explanation of exactly what role they held (i.e. what years they were in the SS, what rank, etc.) Of course, that could end up being far more work than it's worth.... --Habap 6 July 2005 13:31 (UTC)
 * Delete, too POV. Including parts of in denazification sounds ok with me. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 6, 2005 14:00 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Sadly, this is an important issue. If the entries on the list can be verified, it is potentially useful. Martg76 6 July 2005 23:16 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Interesting subject, poorly implemented here.  Possibly merge and redirect to denazification.  -Sean Curtin July 9, 2005 02:00 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand This is relevant historical information and should be allowed in the Wiki Endurance 15:18, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
