As our article on ethnic cleansing says, this is a very vague term that is often used to avoid clear terms or to insinuate war crimes. As a consequence, it creates heated discussions in articles assigned to this category, such as Expulsion of non-resident Tamils from Colombo. Moreover, it seems to contain articles that clearly belong to category:Genocide, such as Armenian Genocide, Assyrian Genocide or Pontic Greek Genocide. If there are more problems with this category then I'd vote for deleting it and moving its content to category:Genocide, category:Ethnic conflict or category:Forced migration, as applicable. — Sebastian 02:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page.

The use of the term " ethnic cleansing" is in my view problematic, as it is a) a euphemism and b) used retrospectively. Opinions? 红卫兵 19:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
I did some research and came up with the following tables. The first table is a legend for the second. In the second table, the abbreviations in the columns list to which categories a given article or category has been assigned to. "y" stands for "yes", "i" stands for indirect, meaning it has been assigned to an obvious subcategory. Example, Category:Massacres of Poles in Volhynia is a subcategory of two "Massacres in ..." categories, and hence indirectly in category:Massacres.
abbreviation | category |
---|---|
AN | Anti-national sentiment |
CAH | Crimes against humanity |
CulA | Cultural assimilation |
Dc | Discrimination |
Dp | Deportation |
ER | Ethnic riots |
FM | Forced migration |
Gc | Genocides |
Ho | The Holocaust |
HRA | Human rights abuses |
Ms | Massacres |
NWC | Nazi war crimes |
Na | Nationalism |
Po | Pogroms |
Ps | Persecution |
Ra | Racism |
RelD | Religious discrimination |
RelP | Religious persecution |
Rf | Refugees |
RM | Racial massacres |
V | Violence |
WC | War crimes |
none | does not contain any of the listed categories |
My impression from this table is that most articles in Category:Ethnic cleansing are also in at least one other category that could replace it, above all category:Forced migration, category:Genocides, category:Racial massacres, category:War crimes, and category:Discrimination. I think therefore we could dissolve this category, if we spend some time sorting those that aren't into the existing categories or their subcats, and I hope this should be possible without too much POV quarrels. — Sebastian 04:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
