List of people assassinated by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list was created in good faith following a Cfd but only duplicates content from List of assassinations of the Second JVP Insurrection which provides a list of assassinations during the 2nd JVP Insurrection. Having a separate article for assassinations by the JVP looks like a WP:POVFORK.  obi2canibe talk contr 19:45, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Neutral. After the closure of the CFD discusison by another admin, I created this list to implement the CFD consensus that information in the category was better presented as a list. I have no expertise I the topic or particular interest in it, so I don't know whether the pre-existing list does the job better.  However, if this list is to be deleted, then:
 * editors should first check that the topics in it are included in the other list. (Rex De Costa is currently missing)
 * It should be replaced with a redirect to List of assassinations of the Second JVP Insurrection

 * Rex De Costa was assassinated during the 1971 JVP Insurrection and as such falls outside the scope of the List of assassinations of the Second JVP Insurrection.-- obi2canibe talk contr 20:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Is there any other list he could be included in? -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * He is listed under the Notable people killed section of the 1971 JVP Insurrection article. The list only has two entries and as such doesn't warrant a separate list.-- obi2canibe talk contr 19:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. As per WP:RELART & the decision of CFD discusison to delete the related category and listify. This list contains useful information about the Terrorism and JVP. Since the category is already deleted, the presence of this article will be highly important and convenient for the readers who are interested in the subject. -- Shehanw (talk) 05:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 01:45, 22 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Definitely per WP:RELART.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
