Nazi hunter: one who hunts nazis. Basically nothing here that is not obvious from nazi + hunter. Guy (Help!) 19:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable topic. Nom's characterization of the article is a little unfair. While lacking, it's more than a dicdef. --Elliskev 19:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Oversimplified characterization of the article. I agree with Elliskev that the article is lacking, but it's a notable topic worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia. Possible merge target: Pursuit of Nazi collaborators. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The Nazi-hunters are certainly notable and historically important people. I wish there was a more dignified name for them, but can't think of one off-hand. Northwestgnome (talk) 21:55, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This is the common term for people who track down Nazis and tons could be written on them. Nick Dowling (talk) 08:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep this article could be expanded and there is plenty of material that can be used to do so. --Forcedtocreateanaccount (talk) 10:27, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: article requires cleanup and could benefit from additional sources. Coldmachine Talk 19:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This is a notable topic. I am not 100% sure, but I believe it was Simon Wiesenthal who came up with this term, I will try look for sources about that. Also, It is common to refer people who track down Nazis who fled prosecution as Nazi Hunters. The BBC referred Wiesenthal as a Nazi Hunter, and the BBC most recently referred to Efraim Zuroff, the man who is looking for fugitive Nazi Aribert Heim in the Patagonia, as a Nazi Hunter .
